C4(R) CMTS Four Channel Upstream Bonding Technology



SUWANEE, Ga., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARRIS (Nasdaq: ARRS) today
announced that SK Broadband. Inc., Korea's leading integrated
telecommunications company, has deployed the ARRIS DOCSISĀ® 3.0 C4 solution,
bonding four Upstream Channels to deliver data speeds in excess of 100 Mbp/s

The ARRIS DOCSIS 3.0 CMTS solution consists of the C4 CMTS and WBM760 wideband
modems, capable of delivering downstream data speeds up to 200 Mbps, along
with carrier-grade voice service.  The technology is based on the DOCSIS 3.0

capabilities.  

According to SK Broadband: "SK Broadband is very pleased to be able to offer
our HFC customers ultra high-speed data service using the ARRIS C4 CMTS and
its Upstream Channel bonding capabilities. Speed and availability are highly
attractive attributes when competing for market share in an advanced
telecommunications market such as Korea.  Customers have become very
demanding, and SK Broadband is proud to be the first to deploy this innovative
technology."

"ARRIS was one of the innovators in the definition of Channel Bonding during
the creation of the DOCSIS 3.0 specification," said Bruce McClelland,
President, ARRIS Broadband Communications Systems.  "Our C4 CMTS solution has
been supporting Channel Bonding in the field for some time and now, with
expected changes in customer usage, we are very proud to be delivering greater
