SUWANEE, Ga., July 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS International
plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) designed and deployed an enterprise-grade Wi-Fi
network for its partner, Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), at the team's
worldwide headquarters in Huntersville,
North Carolina.
"We selected ARRIS to build a new, high-speed Wi-Fi network
that's up to 15 times faster than our current network, to meet the
needs of our growing racing team. Joe Gibbs Racing invests in the
best technology and innovation, and we've expanded our partnership
with ARRIS to ensure that we're ahead of the curve both at the shop
as well as on the track. Wi-Fi is a critical component in our
everyday operations, including the production of our racecars."
said Jim Foley, Chief Technology
Officer, JGR.
"The team at JGR knows speed, so they appreciate the fast and
reliable performance that ARRIS brings to wireless collaboration
and communication. This project is an extension of our
industry-leading work in enterprise-grade Wi-Fi deployments across
the country and demonstrates our ability to customize and integrate
a Wi-Fi solution for any environment," said Dan Whalen, Senior Vice President and General
Manager, Global Services, ARRIS.
This new installation represents the evolution of JGR and
ARRIS's partnership, building on a strong relationship between the
racing team and sponsor. ARRIS also sponsors Carl Edwards in the No. 19 Toyota Camry in the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Daniel
Suarez in the 2016 NASCAR XFINITY Series in the No. 19
Toyota Camry, as well as a partial schedule in the NASCAR Camping
World Truck Series.
ARRIS continues to increase its involvement in transforming
NASCAR communications. Last year, ARRIS Global Services installed
and managed new Internet services connecting NASCAR Productions to
race teams on the track in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series™. ARRIS's
E6000® Converged Edge Router powered communications to SURFboard®
SB6183 modems provided to each team, enabling the high-speed
information exchange for teams to push the envelope of the
sport.
Earlier this year, ARRIS brought Carrier-Class Wi-Fi to the most
popular fan locations at the new Daytona International Speedway
(DIS) motorsports stadium—the most comprehensive Wi-Fi deployment
in NASCAR history. As part of its agreement with International
Speedway Corporation (ISC), the ARRIS Global Services team
integrated, designed, and installed a high-speed Wi-Fi network
that's providing tens of thousands of raceday fans with
unprecedented speeds and coverage.
