Alloptic Expands Product Portfolio To Support 15 Mbps Ethernet Over Existing Copper Telephone LinesLivermore, Calif. – June 7, 2005 – Alloptic, Inc., a pioneer in the development and deployment of Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (GEPONs), the ultimate communications network for today and tomorrow, announced the availability of its Xgen7000, capable of delivering 15 Mbps of symmetrical Ethernet traffic over a standard phone line. Alloptic’s Xgen7000 is the latest in its Fiber-To-The-Premise product line. It allows the wiring in existing buildings or neighborhoods to carry high-speed Internet, IP-Video (including HDTV) as well as traditional voice services in excess of the current speed of xDSL technology. Alloptic’s Gigabit Ethernet PON is used to carry services into the neighborhood or building where the Xgen7000 uses existing copper telephone lines for delivery of service to the consumer. As with other long-range Ethernet and xDSL technology, an inexpensive home media converter is used to change the signals back into the traditional Ethernet interfaces. “With the introduction of the Xgen7000, Alloptic is able to offer network operators a solution that allows them to easily deploy high-speed broadband to existing, pre-wired high-density applications like hotels, condominiums, and apartments,” said Mike Serrano, Director of Product Marketing for Alloptic. “Until now, high-speed data services were limited to locations within 3 miles of a central office. With the Xgen7000, service providers can leverage a passive optical network (PON) to deliver high-speed data services to customers located beyond 12 miles (20km) of a central office.” The Xgen product portfolio is designed to provide network operators an array of fiber-to-the-curb/building options. Like other product families Alloptic offers , the Xgen products are environmentally hardened and can be used in conjunction with other Optical Network Units (ONUs) residing on the same PON fiber. Alloptic is an industry leader in the development and deployment of IEEE Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GEPON) technology. Alloptic’s access network solution has been deployed around the world and offers the only GEPON solution with several years of field proven, operational history. The Alloptic solution employs a standard ITU PON OSP fiber design, and delivers a full gigabit of Ethernet bandwidth. With a native ability to support traditional TDM voice over an Ethernet based platform and carry RF video all on a single fiber, Alloptic is able to provide today’s worry free telephone services while seamlessly supporting next generation services such as IP HDTV, security and VoIP.
