Alloptic Expands MicroNode(TM) Family of Products for MSO Market.

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Alloptic, Inc., a global leader in the development of Passive Optical Network (PON) and deep fiber technology, announced an extension of its successful line of MicroNode[TM] products. With the introduction of the new MicroNode[TM] 190, Alloptic makes it easier and cost efficient for network operators to get more from their deep fiber or FTTx network by providing access to a standard RF return path.

"We are finding that many operators have access networks that lack the critical RF return path needed for VOD services," said Shane Eleniak, VP of Marketing and Business Development. "Triple-play fiber access systems have supported downstream RF for some time, but the return RF path was simply not anticipated in the equipment design. For an MSO, this meant either replacing their FTTx access system or using a proprietary overlay to support an RF return path. Either solution required a significant resource commitment. The MicroNode[TM] 190 transceiver solves that problem very economically. The 190 provides a standard RF return over a fiber infrastructure and is agnostic to the devices located on each end."

Alloptic's MicroNode[TM] product family provides a seamless transition for deep fiber and FTTx networks. MicroNode[TM] products are based on industry-standard technology and include unique features unmatched in the industry. Alloptic will be showcasing the MicroNode[TM] product suite at SCTE Cable-Tec in Orlando the week of June 18, 2007.
