Charter Expands VoIP Deployments with ARRIS

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
