I-CMTS delivers the benefits of DOCSIS 3.0 and flexible upstream to downstream ratios defined in the M-CMTS architecture along with all of the reliability, performance and management benefits of a traditional CMTS in a single package. M-CMTS delivers the ability to distribute network elements across an operator's infrastructure. The ARRIS solution allows operators to choose the solution set that best fits their architectural needs as their service demands and delivery methods evolve.

For operators with already deployed Euro-DOCSIS 2.0 systems, the ARRIS solutions preserve over 80% of the current capital, and minimize operational impacts associated with alternative M-CMTS implementations. The C4 CMTS is fully redundant and boasts hitless failover with no single point of failure. It supports up to 52,000 cable modems and 32,000 voice subscribers.
