ARRIS Group, announced that JAINHITS, India's HITS-based Direct to Network (DTN) digital cable TV distribution and a triple play provider, has selected the company's set-tops to efficiently deliver digital TV services. 

Arris, a global innovator in IP, video and broadband technology, said that JAINHITS will be deploying ARRIS HMC1010 SD set-top and the HMC2010 HD set-top from September 2014. 

JAINHITS offers more than 252 standard definition (SD) channels, following the launch of the nationwide ARRIS digital headend earlier this year, and plans to soon provide full high-definition (HD) services, which will be made available via the new ARRIS set-tops.

"As we look to grow our services to meet the digital transition in India and introduce HD services later this year, we are pleased to extend our working relationship with ARRIS to add its set-tops to our offering. Our platform coupled with ARRIS set-tops will allow cable operators to provide 250 digital TV channels using just 12 frequencies as compared to the 106 they are using today. This will help them free valuable spectrum, and use this available spectrum to provide broadband services to increase ARPU and fulfill Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's dream of a digitally developed India." 

-           Dr. J.K. Jain – Chairman JAINHITS  

ARRIS is driving the global transition to an all-digital content delivery platform - giving customers like JAINHITS a competitive advantage in delivering tomorrow's services on today's networks. JAINHITS benefits from our proven digital video portfolio and worldwide footprint, which enables us to deliver localized solutions and support."
