ARRIS Achieves Interoperability with Nortel's Softswitch
Interoperability testing has been completed between ARRIS PacketCable and DOCSIS 1.1 qualified Cadant C4 CMTS and Touchstone MTAs and Nortel Networks’ PacketCable qualified Succession Communication Server (CS) 2000 superclass softswitch series.
The Cadant C4 CMTS and Touchstone MTAs provide customer premise termination for cable VoIP. Nortel Networks’ softswitch and associated core products deliver the features and call control functionality. Together, the platforms could be used by cable operators for full-featured primary line residential phone service. http://www.arrisi.com

You just read about ARRIS. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Pace plc built Set-top boxes, broadband gateways and software. What became of it?
Pace plc brought Set-top boxes, broadband gateways and software to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by ARRIS for US$2.1B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside ARRIS today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
