Fiber Optics Weekly Update, May 13, 2005

Alloptic, a provider of Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (GEPONs), announced that IP-Phone Connect (IPPC) has selected the company's access network platform to provide VoIP, ultra-high-speed data services, and RF video services to new and existing residential developments in Denmark.

"As we looked at our alternatives, point-to-point solutions were inefficient in the use of fiber and lacked the ability to handle RF video. Alloptic's solution was able to handle RF video over a single fiber passive optical network with an amazing Gigabit of bandwidth," explained Ulrik Seiersens, principal for IPPC. "There was also the added benefit of being an Ethernet-based platform, and we found Alloptic's solution surpassed all of our technical and economic requirements."

According to the company, its GEPON platform leverages a standard ITU PON architecture, and includes native ability to support traditional TDM voice over an Ethernet-based platform, to enable telephone services while also supporting next-generation services such as IP HDTV.

"We are pleased to be an integral part of IPPCs broadband network," concluded Mike Serrano, Alloptic's director of product marketing. "Using our GEPON solution, IPPC was able to provide the residents a state-of-the-art infrastructure, which has opened up an array of new services."
