Charter Communications placed new orders for ARRIS’ Cadant C4 Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS), Touchstone Telephony Modems and G2 IMS Management Platform. Charter launched VoIP in its Wausau, Wisconsin network a year ago using ARRIS equipment and currently serves 3,000 customers with primary line PacketCable Telephony over IP. The new shipments of ARRIS VoIP equipment are scheduled to be deployed in two additional markets. The deployments are expected to result in the addition of tens of thousands of carrier-grade VoIP lines during 2004. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.arrisi.com

From the Graveyard
You just read about ARRIS. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
C-COR built Cable access, optical transport and network management. What became of it?
C-COR brought Cable access, optical transport and network management to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by ARRIS for US$730M. 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.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about VoIP. Here is what it replaced:
POTS / PSTN served from 1876. What ultimately replaced it?
POTS / PSTN analog voice carried as a continuous electrical signal over a copper loop to a circuit-switched exchange, which set up an end-to-end dedicated path for the duration of the call. Its job passed to VoIP — 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.
