Next Level Communications and Optical Solutions Inc. announce integrated DSL and FTTH access solution

Fiber Optics Weekly Update, June 6, 2003

Next Level Communications, a Motorola company and a world leader in integrating voice, data and digital television services over existing copper telephone lines, and Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) market leader Optical Solutions, announced an integrated, standards-based, end-to-end DSL and FTTH solution that will be available in late 2003.

The new partnership provides telcos with a unique value proposition - the ability to utilize a single end-to-end platform to provide any combination of television, voice and data services in any deployment scenario, from Fiber-to-the-Node (FTTN), to Fiber-to-the-Curb (FTTC), to Fiber-to-the-Home (FILTH). As telcos continue to expand services and move fiber closer and closer to the end user, the Next Level Full Service Access Platform will provide a common platform and management system to support the full array of network topologies without stranding equipment investment or tampering with the customer experience.

Thus, telcos with plans to someday expand into FILTH now have both a convenient and cost-effective migration strategy from copper to fiber, as well as a total FTTH strategy for greenfield, overbuild or network refurbishment applications. The enhanced Next Level Full Service Access Platform supports video services (switched digital video or analog) and a full array of both business and residential voice and high-speed data services. The service delivery capabilities of this integrated platform are unmatched in the market today.
