Champion ONE Launches GPON & EPON Transceivers

Champion ONE (News - Alert), a leading provider of optical transceivers and passive network systems, is announcing the general availability of both Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) and 10G Ethernet Passive Optical Networking (EPON) protocols for fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) applications. These new transceivers will be sold under Champion ONE's Passport™ line of universal transceivers.

The GPON protocols are supported by SFP transceivers, and are specified for both Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and Optical Network Unit (ONU) usages. 10G EPON protocols are supported by both SFP+ and XFP transceivers; the SFP+ is specified for both OLT and ONU, while the XFP is specified for OLT use only.

"With the advent of streaming video and other high-speed srvices, the need for higher bandwidth continues to fuel growth in demand for FTTP applications. Companies like Verizon, Google (News - Alert), Comcast and AT&T are investing heavily in this fast-growing market," said John Jutila, Champion ONE CEO. "Now with our new portfolio of GPON and EPON products, Champion ONE is well positioned to help meet the needs of these service providers and others that require demanding OLT and ONU transceiver deployment support and value."

All Champion ONE transceivers are compliant with their respective MSAs. These transceivers serve as a direct replacement for hot pluggable OEM transceivers and carry an industry leading 5-year warranty.
