Company overview. ARRIS Solutions, Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated subsidiary of CommScope Holding Company, Inc., listed on CommScope's SEC Exhibit 21.1 subsidiary schedules. Its principal registered address is 1100 CommScope Place SE, Hickory, North Carolina; it is also registered as a foreign corporation in Georgia and appears on CommScope's ISO 9001 certificate as operating hardware/software development, sales and service at 2400 Ogden Ave., Lisle, Illinois. The ARRIS business it descends from was founded in 1995 and traded as ARRIS International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) until CommScope acquired it in April 2019 for roughly $7.4 billion. ARRIS Solutions has no separate ticker, revenue or headcount disclosure; it is consolidated into CommScope's results.
Products / operations. This is an operating telecommunications-equipment entity, not a shell. ARRIS-branded products in the CommScope portfolio include DOCSIS cable modems and gateways, Wi-Fi routers/access points, video and headend equipment, and PON/optical access gear; the case record below accuses products such as the ARRIS NVG468MQ Wi-Fi gateway. CommScope reported roughly 30,000 employees and multi-billion-dollar annual revenue in its 2021–2022 filings, with about $683 million of 2021 R&D.
Patent-litigation posture. Defendant only — 1 tracked case, 0 as plaintiff — consistent with an operating company being sued rather than a patent enforcer. The single tracked matter, CommWorks Solutions, LLC v. CommScope Holding Co., Inc. et al. (E.D. Tex., No. 2:23-cv-00510, Judge Rodney Gilstrap), names ARRIS Solutions alongside six affiliated CommScope/ARRIS defendants in the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas.
Notable case context. CommWorks Solutions is a non-practicing entity; its Rule 7.1 disclosure names Brainbox Innovations, LLC as corporate parent, and Unified Patents describes it as an NPE subsidiary of IP Investments Group. The suit asserted seven acquired patents (including US 6,832,249; 7,027,465; 7,177,285; 7,463,596; 7,911,979; and RE44,904) covering GPON/XGS-PON OLT and Wi-Fi gateway QoS, provisioning and WMM technology; the parties jointly dismissed all claims with prejudice, with no merits ruling. CommWorks has asserted the same portfolio against cable operators and chipmakers. Separately, in January 2026 CommScope sold its Connectivity and Cable Solutions segment and the CommScope brand to Amphenol and renamed the parent Vistance Networks (NASDAQ: VISN).
