MONTERREY, Mexico, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Television Internacional selected the globally deployed APEX3000 Universal Edge QAM platform from ARRIS International plc (NASDAQ: ARRS) to expand its HD channel broadcasting.

TVI also chose ARRIS Global Services to converge its current QAM services into EQAM utilizing the APEX3000. The project included the distributed installment of 16 APEX3000s in 16 Hubs, replacing the centralized APEX1000s in Monterrey's headend.
