Hotwire Communications Taps Motorola for FTTH

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Motorola announced that Hotwire Communications has selected Motorola's
fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), MPEG-4 high definition (HD) encoder and IP
set-top solutions for the delivery of both residential and commercial
broadband services.

Specializing in multi-family communities, Hotwire Communications is the
latest in a series of ultra-broadband network and FTTH wins for
Motorola that range from tier-one deployments to smaller telecom and
cable operator rollouts.

"The value of Motorola's overall solution, including GPON, has been
proven in large-scale telecom environments," said Kristin Johnson,
president of Hotwire. "We knew we could count on the technology to be
robust and flexible as we continue to expand our world-class video
entertainment and broadband services."

The new FTTH deployments using gigabit passive optical networking
(GPON) technology will enable Hotwire to expand its service tiers with
more HD and video-on-demand (VOD) content as well as Internet speeds
ranging up to 100+ megabits per second (Mbps). Hotwire will deploy the
field-proven Motorola AXS2200 optical line terminal (OLT) and Motorola
ONT1400GT optical network terminal throughout its customer footprint.



"The combination of Motorola's AXS2200 and ONT1400 provides a solution
that allows service providers like Hotwire to take advantage of the
ultra-broadband nature of GPON," said Dr. George Simmons, corporate
vice president and general manager, Access Network Solutions, Motorola.
"Hotwire is looking to deliver the highest quality TV experiences and
immensely fast symmetrical Internet speeds. We are pleased to provide
the technology that makes this possible and look forward to enabling
new triple-play services for Hotwire subscribers and creating
significant value for service providers, particularly those just
entering the IPTV market."
