Arris will start marketing Ethernet optical-access-networking gear from Amedia Networks under a deal announced earlier today. The agreement calls for Arris to promote Amedia's "QoStream" family of products globally, including the vendor's 100 Mbps gateways with voice-over-IP (VoIP) and multiple Ethernet ports. The gateways also offer an optional 802.11 Wi-Fi access point. In addition, the new pact calls for Arris and Amedia to develop joint technical and commercial ventures. Arris said Amedia's products should have particular appeal in international markets.
