Blonder Tongue Releases New Fiber-to-the-Home, FTTH, Products.

OLD BRIDGE, N.J. -- Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (AMEX:BDR) announced today the release of their new LightHouse Series of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) products. The LightHouse Series is a standard's based broadband delivery system optimized for multiple dwelling units, gated communities and small municipalities.

The LightHouse Series uses a one-to-one design feature that provides significantly lower initial capital cost for the service provider. This is particularly advantageous during the initial phases of new construction where the number of potential subscribers is small. Other FTTH systems use a "shared" media converter architecture. These other systems were designed for very large networks, but the costs do not scale down for MDU's and small municipalities.

The LightHouse system provides transport of 10/100 Base T Ethernet and 54-870 MHz CATV bandwidth to each premise through one single mode fiber. It employs a passive-optical-network architecture (PON) technology providing operators serviceability ease because there is no active equipment required between the headend and the premise. Advanced services such as VoIP, IP video, VOD and digital cable are all supported. The LightHouse Series is comprised of five key components: 1. the FIBT-10-1550 CATV optical transmitter, 2. BTEA Series amplifier, 3. FOC Series couplers, 4. BTEN-231W headend media converters and 5. BTEN-431W premise media converters.
