Alloptic Intros ONTs for Business Applicationsand MDUsFrom BBP WiresLAS VEGAS – Alloptic (www.alloptic.com), which develops RF Over Glass(RFOG) and passive optical networking(PON) solutions, announced a modularoptical network terminal for businessand backhaul applications. “Businesssubscribers demand a very wide varietyin the services they need, rangingfrom many T1s for wireless backhaul,to mixed TDM and Ethernet for smallbusinesses, to gigabit Ethernet for datacenters and ISPs,” says Shane Eleniak,vice president of marketing and businessdevelopment at Alloptic. “Using ournew Xgen9000 ONT, carriers have theease and flexibility to deploy a commonONT and then choose the services theirFrom BBP WiresPETAH TIKVA, ISRAEL – ECI Telecom,a global provider of networkinginfrastructure solutions, showcased ahigh-bandwidth GPON optical lineterminal (OLT) with a built-in networkprocessor at the <strong>Broadband</strong> World ForumAsia Conference in Hong Kong.The integrated network processor allowsoperators to implement functions such asadvanced quality of service and security.It also allows them to adapt easily to differentnetwork designs and to introducerevenue-generating customized servicessubscribers need, thanks to pluggableinterface cards. Our customers also havefound that the service demands at enduserlocations often change. By providingexceptional flexibility in configuringthe ONT, our customers are able tocost-effectively respond more quickly tocapture a greater share of revenue.”The Alloptic Xgen9000 unit offersfour expansion ports to deliver up to 20T1/E1 circuits and 24 voice lines alongwith 17 Ethernet ports and RF videocontrol. All modules are hot-swappable,and redundant optical networkports are available for high-availabilitySLA requirements.Alloptic also released a new ONT forMDU applications, the Xgen7500, whichprovides 24 ports of industry standardscompliantVDSL2+, each deliveringPOTS plus up to 100 Mbps of DSL services.“The challenge with serving MDUand MTU customers is the abundance oftwisted pair (CAT 3) copper in the last100 to 1,000 feet,” Eleniak says. “Traditionally,PON vendors required CAT5 drops from the distribution closet tothe customer. The reality is that in urbanenvironments, that is typically not practicaland often just not possible. Withour Xgen7500 ONTs Alloptic is nowenabling network operators to offer customersFTTH-like services without theexpense of replacing the copper drops orin-building wiring. Since the ONT is environmentallyhardened, it’s also suitedfor the outdoor applications found withfiber-to-the-curb installations.”GPON Solution from ECI Telecom IncludesBuilt-in Service Management CapabilitiesJDSU Introduces Kits for Fiber OpticInspection, Cleaning and TestingFrom BBP Wireswith flexibility for future upgrades.The solution includes a high-bandwidthnetwork interface card with 800Gbps switching capacity and two 10 GbEor four 1 GbE uplink ports, supportingvoice gateway cards/POTS interfaces,GPON and xDSL on the subscriber side.MILPITAS, CA – JDSU (www.jdsu.com) announced the release of all-inonefiber optic test kits, providing networktechnicians with a way to avoida leading cause of network downtime:contaminated or “dirty” fiber. JDSUprovides the tools necessary to inspect,clean and perform power or attenuationmeasurements on fiber optic connectionsin easy-to-use kits to prevent costlynetwork damage during installation,qualification and troubleshooting.“Working with service providersworldwide, we believe that fiber contaminationis the number one source ofcostly truck rolls and optical networkimpairment,” says Steve Lytle, generalmanager in the JDSU CommunicationsTest and Measurement business segment.“Inspecting with a kit that containsall the necessary tools before youconnect enables technicians to convenientlyinspect both sides of an opticalconnection, clean it if necessary, andconduct the required optical testing toensure the integrity of the network.”JDSU inspection, cleaning, and testkits are designed to meet the needs oftoday’s fiber applications and environ-100 | BROADBAND PROPERTIES | www.broadbandproperties.com | July 2008
ments including FTTx, LAN/WAN,and data centers in cable and telecommunicationsnetworks. The kits includeJDSU video fiber microscopes, opticalcleaning tools, PocketClass or SMARToptical light sources and optical powermeters, and a visual fault locator (VFL).The kits also include a wide selection ofWestover precision tips for the video fibermicroscope and a collection of fiberoptic patch cords for connecting to thesystem under test.Fiber inspection and cleaning are criticalcomponents in a comprehensive fiberdeployment and operation strategy. Proactiveinspection prior to network testingand installation reduces downtime, optimizessignal performance, and protectscomponents from costly damage.Calix Introduces Carrier-Grade 10 GigE SolutionFrom BBP WiresPETALUMA, CA – Calix (www.calix.com) announced a new addition to itsaccess portfolio that expands Ethernetservices capacity over both fiber andcopper networks. The Calix E5-400meets growing network traffic demandsby adding carrier-grade 10 gigabit Ethernetand multiple gigabit Ethernet aggregationand transport capabilities tothe Calix unified access infrastructure.Part of the Calix E-Series Multiserviceover Ethernet product family, theCalix E5-400 allows service providers toaddress their bandwidth challenges with:• Standards-based, redundant, nonproprietary10GE, NxGE, and GEtransport and aggregation across theaccess network.• Ultra-high-capacity IP services supportover fiber to the premises andlast-mile copper infrastructure.• A hardened, 1 rack unit (RU) formfactor that enables flexible deploymentfrom the CO to the network edge.“IdeaOne’s business subscribers leverageour services for mission-criticalapplications,” says Bob Johnson, CEOat IdeaOne Telecom of Fargo, NorthDakota. “Calix’s new offering lets uskeep expanding our business services bymeeting the bandwidth and reliabilitydemands of our largest customers, includinghospitals, high-tech companiesand financial institutions.
