Alloptic's Enhanced ONT Provides Network Evolution Path for Operators.

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Alloptic, Inc., a global leader in the development of Passive Optical Network (PON) technology, announced that they have expanded the home4000 Optical Networking Terminal (ONT) to include integrated carrier class VoIP functionality. The latest model home4000 ONTs supports both traditional TDM service and carrier class VoIP (SIP and MGCP) from the same analog voice port interfaces. This means an operator can migrate their entire customer base to a VoIP infrastructure whenever they want without impacting their subscribers.

"This is not just another feature," said Shane Eleniak, VP of Marketing and Business Development for Alloptic. "VoIP is sweeping through the communications industry, radically changing the network. Both operators and consumers are drawn by the same concept - lower costs. However, most deployments have required either an additional device at the subscriber's location to convert analog handsets to VoIP or forced the subscriber to purchase a digital VoIP phone. Now, with Alloptic's VoIP solution, the switch from TDM to carrier class VoIP is totally transparent to the subscriber, truck rolls are unnecessary, and costs drop. Everybody wins!"

Alloptic's home4000 ONT is one of the ONT families offered by Alloptic. Designed for residential and SOHO usage, the home4000 is based on industry standard technology. Alloptic will be showcasing the home4000 at both NXTcomm in Chicago and SCTE Cable-Tec in Orlando the week of June 18, 2007.
