Enablence Announces the Commercial Availability of its ONT-G888 GPON Optical Network Terminal for Multi Dwelling Unit Applications

Market Wire, September, 2008

Enablence Technologies Inc. ("Enablence")(TSX VENTURE: ENA), a leading supplier of fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) equipment for residential and business services, announced the addition of the ITU G.984 GPON standard-compliant ONT-G888 series Optical Network Terminals ("ONTs") to its industry leading TRIDENT7(TM) product line today. The product is now commercially available and shipping to customers. The TRIDENT7(TM) Universal Access platform is the industry's only FTTx platform capable of delivering standards-based support of ITU G.984 GPON, IEEE 802.3 GE-PON (EFM PON), and IEEE 802.3 Point-to-Point triple-play services from a common platform.

"The ITU G.984 GPON standard-compliant ONT-G888 joins our IEEE GE-PON and Point-to-Point standards-compliant ONT-E888 as part of our ONT lineup specific to Multiple Dwelling Units (MDU) applications," explained Arvind Chhatbar, CEO for Enablence. "Multiple Dwelling Units, such as residential apartment buildings, are a big part of fiber-to-the-home networks. Enablence has always believed in developing products specific to these MDU applications, which may be managed as one unit, rather than providing makeshift solutions where multiple single family or business ONTs are bundled together."

The ONT-G888 is an environmentally hardened ONT that may be mounted either outside or inside the customer premises. By providing eight Ethernet ports, eight POTS ports, and eight RF video ports in a single ONT element, the ONT-G888 provides more than enough capability to deliver complete triple play data, voice, and video services for MDU applications. Enablence's patented integrated RF return also is available as an option, which supports RF return over the same single fiber as all other services without additional wavelengths.

Enablence's TRIDENT7(TM) platform is already being deployed by over 70 customers in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. See Enablence's FTTx Networks Division and their full suite of TRIDENT7(TM) products in Booth #925 at the FTTH Conference & Expo in Nashville, September 21 - 25.
