I'll research Arris Group, Inc. to build an accurate profile.
Arris Group, Inc. — "ARRIS" — is the legacy Delaware corporate name of the cable/telecom equipment maker based at 3871 Lakefield Drive, Suwanee, Georgia. The business traces to a 1995 joint venture (Antec/Nortel–TCI lineage), became ARRIS Group, Inc. in the 2000s, and was reorganized in January 2016 into ARRIS International plc, a UK-incorporated holding company that traded on Nasdaq as ARRS. Reported 2016 revenue was roughly $6.8 billion with about 7,000 employees (Fig. 6,000–8,000 at acquisition). CommScope (Nasdaq: COMM) acquired ARRIS in an all-cash deal announced November 2018 at $31.75/share ($7.4 billion including debt), completed April 4, 2019; ARRIS entities now sit under CommScope Holding Company, Inc.
Products / operations — an operating company, not an NPE. ARRIS sold customer premises equipment (DOCSIS cable modems and gateways, including the SURFboard retail line, video set-top boxes and DVRs) and Network & Cloud infrastructure (CMTS/CCAP platforms, optical/PON gear, ad-insertion and network-management software) to cable, telco and satellite operators. Its 2017 acquisition of Ruckus Wireless/ICX added Wi-Fi access points and Ethernet switches, expanding it into enterprise networking. It also held a large patent portfolio and itself petitioned in PTAB proceedings.
Litigation posture — purely defensive in the tracked data: 3 cases as defendant, 0 as plaintiff. All three arise from the same assertion campaign by Realtime Data LLC d/b/a IXO and affiliate Realtime Adaptive Streaming LLC, which ECHOStar's SEC filings describe as an entity that licenses an acquired portfolio "without itself practicing any of the claims recited therein." The suits assert video/data-compression patents (e.g., the '610 and '535 patents).
Notable cases — Realtime Data LLC d/b/a IXO v. DISH Network Corp. et al. (E.D. Tex., Tyler Div., filed July 2017) named Arris Group alongside DISH. Two D. Colo. suits filed August 31, 2017 — Realtime Adaptive Streaming LLC v. Sling TV L.L.C. et al. and Realtime Data LLC d/b/a IXO v. Sling TV L.L.C. et al. — consolidated into the Colorado action. Per ECHOStar disclosures, Arris Group was dismissed from the Colorado action in March 2021. (Note: multiple ARRIS corporate entities share the "ARRIS Group" name; case data identifies the defendant as Arris Group, Inc.)
