ARRIS (NASDAQ:ARRS) has launched its SURFboard SBG7580-AC cable modem gateway with ARRIS Secure Home Internet by McAfee exclusively at BestBuy.com. The SBG7580-AC combines a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, 802.11ac WiFi router, four-port Ethernet hub and home Internet security center. The company says the gateway is the first to have McAfee's Secure Home Internet built in. It retails for $199.99.
The gateway features automatic device discovery and profiling, parental controls, three years of ARRIS Secure Home Internet by McAfee protection, and McAfee LiveSafe software, which provides antivirus, identity and privacy protection, free for 90 days.
"The ARRIS SBG7580-AC is the first gateway to incorporate device security into the gateway, the entry point for internet into the home. In doing so, we've created a single product that delivers cybersecurity protection to devices in the home, including unsecured IoT devices," said Sandy Howe, SVP and GM, Consumer Products Group, at ARRIS. "Instead of installing and updating security software on every single connected device, now people can simply connect to protect. ARRIS pioneered gateway technology, and the SBG7580-AC with ARRIS Secure Home Internet by McAfee showcases our 20+ years of technology communications expertise."
