ARRIS introduced a DOCSIS 2.0-based and PacketCable 1.1-based Embedded Multimedia Terminal Adapter (E-MTA) that supports high-speed data access and 2 lines of VoIP telephony. The device integrates a lithium-Ion battery back-up that enables up to 20 hours of standby time in the event of a power outage. The ARRIS telephony modem will be available in April of 2004, but several MSOs are currently evaluating early production versions. http://www.arrisi.com

From the Graveyard
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.
From the Technology Graveyard
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.
