CommScope to Acquire Arris for $7.4B, Creating Cable Industry Heavyweight Poised for the FutureNovember 28, 2018US telecommunications equipment maker CommScope will acquire Arris, in a $7.4B deal valued at $5.69 billion, with the difference comprised of CommScope’s assumption of Arris’s debt. As part of the deal, the Carlyle Group will make a $1M equity investment in CommScope for an approximate 16% stake in the new company. CommScope’s CEO Eddie Edwards has claimed the two companies’ product lines are complementary, and that the combined company will “enable end-to-end wired and wireless communications infrastructure solutions that neither company could otherwise achieve on its own.” The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2019.Subscribers Only

Broadband World Forum 2018 highlightsNovember 27, 2018Broadband World Forum has finally come of age, celebrating its 18th edition this year in what continues to be the annual meeting point for the broadband industry. Messe Berlin opened its doors to more than 4100 attendees from more than 1500 organisations that gathered to share, learn and promote anything broadband.

2018: DAS and small cells face off for neutral host applicationsJanuary 16, 2018Adding small cells or low power nodes (e.g., microcells, picocells, and micro/pico RRH/RRU) to beef up the coverage and capacity of existing macrocell networks shows no sign of abating any time soon. In fact, after a low start lasting several years, during which service providers worked hard to understand how to deploy small cells in their networks, the market is booming and reaching the size of the stagnating DAS market, which since last year has been negatively impacted by multi-carrier small cell products designed for neutral host use cases—where DAS had long been the only option.

The next-generation BSS for cable operatorsNovember 21, 2017Cable operators are transforming their business support systems (BSS) in order to offer new services, expand their markets, and enhance customer experience, all while increasing revenue. This transformation is essential for these operators as some legacy systems may be more than 20 years old and preventing them from deploying new, complex services. The upside is that the cable operators are aware of this and actively making investments (or shopping) for solutions that will allow them to offer an optimal streaming environment; provide enterprise, mobile, WiFi, and security services; take part in IoT ecosystems; and collaborate with over-the-top (OTT) providers while serving as a digital aggregator that can provide more personalized content.
