HICKORY, N.C. -- ARRIS (now part of CommScope) and TDS Telecom (TDS®) today announced plans to deploy an Android TV™ set-top solution for the TDS Cloud TV Platform called TDS TV+. TDS plans to launch the cloud-based, IP video delivery solution later this year, beginning in its cable footprint in central Oregon. The solution addresses consumer demand for a simple, efficient, and easy-to-use video solution.

TDS TV+ is powered by Android TV™ and features more than 260 linear channels (including 100+ in HD), on-demand content, pay-per-view programming, and on-the-go viewing options with TDS TV Everywhere.

TDS will use ARRIS’s VIP6102W UHD IP set-top, which offers seamless integration between the set-top, the Cloud TV back-office, the TiVo® user interface, various third-party applications like Netflix, and the voice-enabled remote control. ARRIS Professional Services will support the deployment with a customized user experience, integration into the TDS system, and a remote-control firmware upgrade application. ARRIS’s cloud-based ECO Service Management will help TDS manage the device and provide exceptional customer service.

ARRIS’s VIP6102W platform provides a stunning ultra-high definition 4K video viewing experience. The compact device is Wi-Fi 5 enabled, which creates numerous installation options for consumers or technicians. In addition to being Android TV certified, the platform can also be configured with RDK 3.0 and ARRIS KreaTV software, which provide additional user interface options.
