Arris and NTL Trial 100 Mb/s Broadband

Broadband solutions provider ARRIS informs me that they have successfully demonstrated a 100 Mb/s data service with UK consumer broadband provider ntl. An announcement today says the companies used ARRIS's FlexPath wideband channel bonding technology to demonstrate the service in lab trials.

ARRIS is in the business of providing "broadband local access networks with innovative video, high-speed data and telephony systems for the delivery of voice, video and data to the home and business." According to ntl, it is the largest cable provider in the UK and has 1.7 million broadband customers.

The FlexPath technology should allow ntl to offer fast simultaneous delivery of multiple services, including downloading of large media files, security services such as closed-circuit video, video conferencing, online gaming, and multicast HDTV, all over existing cable networks using easily-available home networking devices.

ARRIS and ntl have completed successful lab trials of the 100 Mb/s FlexPath-based service and plan to move into field trials in March 2006.
