The project takes the strategic partnership between ARRIS and Telefónica to a new level, building on previous collaborations in Brazil and Spain.
The new international portfolio of set-top boxes, called Proteus, will be launched in 2017 and will include set-top boxes suitable for both wired and wireless connections, as well as HD and UHD services for deployment with Telefónica's satellite DTH, cable, and IPTV technologies. This new product family will give Telefónica the flexibility to bring new services to market quickly and efficiently thanks to its scalable service architecture and low-maintenance design.
“Our growing partnership with Telefónica is a testament to ARRIS’s unique ability to combine technical expertise with global scale,” said Steve McCaffery, Director of International Sales and Commercial Operations for ARRIS’s International Commercial Operations Group. “We are strategically positioned to help service providers transform entertainment through the evolution of the set-top box. And Telefónica’s decision to choose ARRIS to develop its new platform represents the continuation of a successful partnership that will deliver next-generation services to millions of subscribers in Europe and Latin America.”
