The story

Originally named Arris Interactive, the company was founded in 1995 in England and Wales as a joint venture between Nortel Networks and Antec Corp. (founded by Anixter in 1991) Bob Stanzione was the founding president and CEO. Bruce McClelland took over as CEO on September 1, 2016, with Stanzione becoming executive chairman. In 2001, after Antec bought out Nortel's share, the company was renamed Arris Inc, with its executive offices in Suwanee, Georgia, United States.

On November 8, 2018, CommScope announced an agreement to acquire Arris for $7.4 billion. The transaction was completed on April 4, 2019. The acquisition doubled CommScope's size, bringing combined revenues to approximately $11.3 billion. In the transaction, CommScope also acquired Ruckus Networks and ICX Switch, two companies Arris had recently acquired from Broadcom, with Arris and Ruckus becoming brands of CommScope.

Former Arris CEO Bruce McClelland assumed the role of CommScope chief operating officer.
