Bresnan Communications has selected the ARRIS DOCSIS 3.0 C4 CMTS platform to deploy high speed data, hosted VoIP and commercial services in four of its Northwestern U.S. markets -- Kalispell and Helena, Mon., and Gillette and Casper, Wyo.
"We are deploying a next generation CMTS platform that is capable of supporting DOCSIS 3.0 to deliver the best possible quality of experience to our customers," said Pragash Pillai, VP of engineering and technology, Bresnan, in a release.
Pillai said that the ARRIS C4 CMTS platform provides the company with the density, availability and service throughput speeds required to meet customer demand. Additionally, with its integrated architectural approach and ability to scale, it offers a reliable and compelling cost per set of features, he added.
"We are delighted to add Bresnan as a new customer to our C4 CMTS platform," said Dan Whalen, senior VP sales, ARRIS.
Whalen said that for customers wishing to offer very high speed data service and reliable voice, as well as offering local businesses a cost-effective communications platform, the C4 has proven itself a highly capable and multi-faceted performer.
ARRIS is a global communications technology company specializing in the design, engineering and supply of technology supporting triple- and quad-play broadband services for residential and business customers around the world.
