As the voice over broadband marketplace continues to grow, TI and Arris expect their collaboration on next-generation products to continue to enhance the features and functionality of voice over cable (VoCable) platforms.
To date, the companies have collaborated on ARRIS complete and extensive voice over cable product line offering, comprised of seven individual cable modem products that are shipping to cable operators worldwide including Charter, Comcast, Cox, Time Warner and UPC.
The companies collaboration extends to TIs recently announced Puma IV architecture, which will allow cable operators to develop and bundle new services as well as enable technologies such as convergence of mobile wireless and broadband.
"TI technology has provided ARRIS with the foundation for delivering industry leading VoIP CPE products," said Jim Lakin, president of Arris Broadband.
"Working closely with TI has enabled Arris to take the lead in not only certifying products at CableLabs and tComlabs but also in qualifying products with multiple service operators (MSOs) around the globe." The Arris Touchstone? family of voice-enabled products showcases a full suite of voice features including robust software, low power, echo cancellation, voice packet playout software, tone processing, multiple low bit rate voice codecs for bandwidth reduction and Session Initiated Protocol (SIP).
"Arris has been a strategic partner, collaborating with TI on defining the future requirements which will drive VoCable penetration," said Brett Butler, general manager of TIs cable broadband communications group.
"Close collaboration with Arris helped set our current and next generation VoCable architecture and ensures that it will meet and exceed the needs of developers and operators." TI has shipped 2 million lines of VoCable to date and is now the leading supplier of software and silicon for VoCable.
