ARRIS cable modems are currently manufactured under the brand ARRIS, which is owned by CommScope.
The Evolution of the ARRIS Brand
Originally, ARRIS International Limited (styled as ARRIS) was an American telecommunications equipment company. It was well-known for producing a wide array of systems for data, video, and telephony, serving both residential and business customers. For many years, ARRIS was a prominent independent player in the broadband equipment market, particularly for its widely used cable modems.
A significant shift occurred on April 4, 2019, when CommScope, a global leader in network infrastructure solutions, completed its acquisition of Arris International. This strategic move integrated ARRIS's strong portfolio of broadband and video technologies into CommScope's extensive offerings.
ARRIS Today: A CommScope Brand
Even after the acquisition, the ARRIS brand name remains highly visible on cable modems and other networking hardware. However, it now functions as a crucial part of CommScope's consumer and enterprise product lines. This means that any new ARRIS cable modem or related device you purchase is a product developed, manufactured, and supported by CommScope, leveraging the established legacy and technological expertise of the ARRIS brand.
CommScope, through the ARRIS brand, continues to provide a variety of networking equipment, including:
- Cable Modems: Devices essential for converting cable signals into internet data.
- Voice Modems: Combining internet and telephone service capabilities.
- Wi-Fi Gateways: All-in-one units that integrate modem, router, and sometimes voice functionalities.
- Video Set-Top Boxes: Equipment for cable television services.
- Networking Infrastructure: Solutions for internet service providers and large-scale networks.
This ownership structure ensures that the ARRIS brand continues to deliver reliable and high-performance connectivity solutions, backed by the comprehensive resources and global reach of CommScope.
