Allied Telesyn's Fiber-to-the-Home Solutions Now Shipping in North America with Teknovus' EPON Chipsets; Teknovus Expands World Wide Carrier Wins Adding Telcos in North America.PETALUMA, Calif. -- Teknovus, the leading provider of Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GEPON GEPON Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network GEPON Geoscience Education and Public Outreach ) chipsets for the deployment of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. in broadband access networks, announced that Allied Telesyn, a global provider of secure Ethernet/IP access solutions and an industry leader in the deployment of IP Triple Play networks over copper and fiber access infrastructures, is using Teknovus' GEPON chipsets in deployments of its Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH (Fiber To The Home) See FTTP. ) solutions at two ILECs (Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier ILEC, short for incumbent local exchange carrier, is a local telephone company in the United States that was in existence at the time of the break up of AT&T into the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) also known as the "Baby Bells". ) in North America, including Twin Valley Telephone, located in central Kansas and SkyLine Telephone Membership Corporation, located in northwestern North Carolina North Carolina, state in the SE United States. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean (E), South Carolina and Georgia (S), Tennessee (W), and Virginia (N). Facts and Figures Area, 52,586 sq mi (136,198 sq km). Pop. and Eastern Tennessee. Allied Telesyn's GEPON-FTTH solution enables service providers to cost-effectively deliver high-speed voice, data and television services over a passive FTTH network. Allied Telesyn selected Teknovus for its proven chipsets, carrier-grade functionality and ease of integration. Together, Allied Telesyn and Teknovus enable service providers and cable operators to transition from a copper-based, last-mile network to a fiber-based infrastructure, taking advantage of lower OPEX See CAPEX. while adding premium services. These two deployments by Allied Telesyn represent a growing movement by North American ILECs to adopt GEPON-based FTTH solutions. GEPON-based FTTH deployments are widespread in Asia where Teknovus chipsets account for more than two million ports in deployments by 12 carriers across six countries. "With Teknovus and Allied Telesyn's iMAP integrated Multi-service Access Platform, we provide ILECs the ability to offer ultra-high quality services, including copper-grade VoIP, advanced video services, and QoS-aware data services to their subscribers," says Philip Yim, Executive VP of Global Marketing & Product Development for Allied Telesyn. "By leveraging our core competencies in fiber, optical electronics and Ethernet, we continue to be the global Ethernet and access technology leader, and first to deploy integrated IP triple-play services and GEPON-FTTH last mile access."

North American ILECs are taking advantage of the superb cost and service capabilities of GEPON. We look forward to supporting Allied Telesyn in its continuing expansion of deployments in North America and around the world." Allied Telesyn and Teknovus are active members of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. and have made significant contributions to a variety of IEEE standards committees. Both Allied Telesyn's GEPON-FTTH solutions and the Teknovus GEPON and EPON See PON. chipsets meet the IEEE 802.3ah EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) Using Ethernet to provide connectivity from the customer to the carrier. See 802.3ah. standards, while enabling flexible, low-cost FTTH solutions for service providers. Twin Valley chose Allied Telesyn's iMAP solution after seeing the 2005 Heavy Reading report: "IP DSLAMs: A Heavy Reading Competitive Analysis," where the iMAP was declared the winner in the 10-Gbit/s optical port category.
