Alloptic Announces One Gigabit GEPON ONT.

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Alloptic, Inc., a global leader in the design and development of Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (GEPONs), the most widely deployed next generation access network solution, today announced the availability of the industries' first Gigabit Ethernet Optical Network Terminal delivering one gigabit of bandwidth to a subscriber over a passive optical network. E[acute accent]"With the introduction of Alloptic's extended Gigabit Ethernet Node (Xgen) 8000, Alloptic customers have access to new level of service options," said Ric Johnson, CEO for Alloptic. "The Xgen8000 allows operators the ability to offer fractional gigabit service up to the full wire speed of one gigabit of bandwidth. The Xgen8000 is driven by the global demand to deliver high bandwidth services for business, multi-tenant applications, as well as backhaul transport for VDSL, ADSL, and BPL applications. The Xgen8000 fundamentally changes the economics of access and backhaul for service providers by bringing together the cost effectiveness of PON and the performance of Gigabit Ethernet." E[acute accent]Alloptic is an industry leader in the development and deployment of IEEE Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GEPON) technology. Alloptic's access network solution has been deployed around the world and offers the only GEPON solution with five years of field hardened, operational history.
