Alloptic Joins Ethernet Alliance to Advance Ethernet Based Technologies in New Markets.

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, announced that they have joined the Ethernet Alliance to drive the design, development, and adoption of Ethernet-based technologies into new markets and applications.

"Ethernet-based technologies have a strong foothold with both the enterprise and consumer markets and are continuing to gain acceptance as key to the service provider core network," said Mike Serrano, Director of Marketing for Alloptic. "Our unique position as a leader in Ethernet-based optical access solutions places us between the end customer's insatiable demand for feature rich, high bandwidth Ethernet-based services and the service provider's ability to profitably supply these services. We feel that with the IEEE's formation of a 10G PON working group, it is a clear acknowledgement that Ethernet-based optical access solutions will continue to provide unequaled scalability from which to cost effectively satisfy this demand."

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. The Alloptic solution leverages a standard ITU PON architecture while delivering a gigabit of bandwidth.
