Alloptic Signs Strategic, Multi-Million Dollar Distribution Agreement with Challenger Cable Sales.

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Alloptic, Inc., a global leader in the design and development of fiber-to-the-subscriber solutions for MSO/CATV operators, announced that they have signed a strategic distribution agreement with Challenger Cable Sales of Inglewood, California. Challenger will distribute Alloptic's MicroNode and RF PON technology to key MSO customers in the western U.S.

"MSO and CATV operators have the opportunity to move into the delivery of voice and data services to business, enterprise, and MDU customers. These are customers that have historically been in the domain of the traditional telco operator," said Glenn Duval, President and CEO, Challenger Cable Sales. "To leverage this opportunity, MSOs need to expand their bandwidth and lower costs, and with this agreement, Challenger can now offer MSOs a range of deep fiber solutions that expand bandwidth, add TDM backhaul, deploy FTTH, and deliver business-class Ethernet services. Alloptic is the only vendor with a simple, cost-effective way for MSO/CATV customers to migrate to the FTTH network they need, and they can do it without changing the headend, subscriber equipment, or operational practices."

Alloptic is an industry leader in the development and deployment of PON technology. Alloptic's access network systems have been deployed around the world and offer the only solution with years of field-hardened operational history. Alloptic offers the widest portfolio of products for fiber access networks.

"Challenger Cable Sales is a leading distributor to broadband and CATV markets in the U.S., and Alloptic is pleased to be working with them," said Shane Eleniak, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Alloptic. "Working with Challenger, Alloptic is able to extend our reach into key markets. Our relationship with Challenger has been very productive as many of their core clients are now evaluating or deploying our technology."
