Liberty Global is going with the ARRIS Touchstone TG2492 Gateway for wide-scale deployment across its footprint.
That means ARRIS’s flagship gateway will go out to 27 million customers across Liberty’s brands including Virgin Media.
The Touchstone is built for fast broadband and streaming. The CPE uses EuroDOCSIS 3.0 wireless EMTA featuring up to 24 x 8 channel bonding to hit download speeds up to 1 Gbps and packs dual-band 802.11n 2.4 GHz and 802.11ac 5 GHz radios for Wi-Fi coverage.
Additionally, it includes up to two lines for VoIP service and supports IPv6.
News of Liberty Global’s ARRIS gateway rollout comes only weeks after Liberty Global took the wraps off its own Wi-Fi and telephony service gateway.
That gateway is now available to Telenet customers in Belgium and UPC customers in Romania and Liberty Global intends to send it out to the rest of its footprint across Europe in the coming months. Its launch represented the first time Liberty Global has designed a universal, locally-branded broadband product for its European and Latin American markets.
Liberty Global developed the device in close partnership with Arris and Compal.
