The line includes headend and hub products;CWDM Ethernet access products; optical nodes; wirelessbridging; optical splitters and other field passives; and mediaconverters for the customer premises. Aurora offers several fiber-to-the-homesolutions, including Fiber on Demand, whichlets cable operators begin almost immediate delivery of dataservices up to 100 Mbps over optical fiber on an individualsubscriber basis; Fiber-to-the-Premise 5G Node, which, whenfully populated with four PON modules, can achieve a combineddata throughput rate of 4 Gbps to service up to 256homes passed; and the FTTH Hub configuration, which supportsindustry-standard FTTH architectures, and consists of ahigh-power optical amplifier and an 8-way splitter to distributea 1550 nm downstream signal to eight output fibers. AuroraNetworks is privately held and venture capital funded.Blonder Tongue Laboratorieswww.blondertongue.com732-679-4000; 800-523-6049Key Products: Headend equipment for video (analog,standard digital, high-definition digital, IP), high-speeddata, telephony, microwave, fiber optic distribution, coaxialdistribution, test equipment, systems design and engineering,technical support and technical trainingSummary: Blonder Tongue Laboratories designs, manufacturesand sells products for the acquisition, processing, encodingand aggregation of analog, digital and packet-based video,voice and data services.

Fiber is the only product that allows us to futureproofthe networks and allow for the bandwidth-intensive applicationsthat are sure to come in the near future. Fiber also provides adequatethroughput for interactive virtual presence applications such astelecommuting, home shopping, online medical services, distancelearning and others – applications that allow us to reduce our fuelconsumption by keeping our cars parked in the driveway. As moreoperators deploy fiber to the premises and as more manufacturersintroduce new lines of FTTP network components, the cost per passingwill continue to come down. The operators deploying FTTP have setthe bar extremely high; the others will ultimately have no choice but tofollow. With less than 4 percent of the nation’s homes within reach ofFTTP, we look forward to a very busy future”.— Glenn Shaffren, VP, Adesta Broadband Networks48 | BROADBAND PROPERTIES | www.broadbandproperties.com | July 2008
“MicroDucts have becomethe preferred pathway ofmany inside plant and outsideplant applications. They wereinstrumental in helping the majorcommunications companiesbring fiber to the home andfiber to the MDU.”— Tim Grimsley, VP, A-D TechnologiesSummary: Headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, Broadweavedeploys fiber-to-the-premises networks in greenfield communities.Broadweave Networks’ high-capacity fiber optic networkssupport converged voice, video and data traffic. Under the Triple-Weavebrand, homeowners can receive these services via anIP network delivered over a single fiber optic connection. Thecompany’s networks support telephone, TV, Internet, movieson demand, online gaming, home security, unified communicationsand other applications. Businesses can order bandwidthby the slice at speeds up to 10 Gbps, as well as enhanceddata services such as messaging and collaboration; voice services,such as unified communications and hosted telephony;and video services, such as business TV and video telephony.In May 2008, Broadweave announced the planned purchase ofiProvo, the largest municipally owned fiber-to-the-home networkin the US; it will also be the service provider on iProvo,which was formerly an open access network.Calient Networkswww.calient.net408-232-6400Key Products: Fiber optic cross-connect systems (FOCS)for central office, POPs, fiber access, carrier hotels, enterprisedata centers, government networks and test lab and productionfloor automationSummary: Calient Networks, which is headquartered in SanJose, California, with additional engineering and manufacturingoperations in Santa Barbara, California, manufacturesthe DiamondWave family of fiber optic cross-connect systems(FOCS) for telecommunications service providers worldwide.The DiamondWave family consists of: FiberConnect (fiber opticcross-connect system), FiberTest Controller, PXC (photonicswitches), FiberMonitor (remotely-managed fiber test system)and PONConnect (PON fiber management).
