Border to Border Selects Alloptic GEPON for FTTP Rollout.

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 been selected by Border to Border Communications in Zapata, Texas to provide their FTTP access solution in the Dolores Remote Serving Area. Alloptic's hardened ONTs and long reach optics capability prove to be the ideal solution for rural applications.

"Alloptic's access solution performed very well against our extreme operating conditions," said Herman Roark President and CEO. "In our service area, we need an access solution that can cover a sparsely populated region and stand up to our hot summer weather. Alloptic's solution easily supported our 40km reach requirements and the ONTs stood up to the 145+ degree heat inside the enclosure when mounted in the direct sunlight during the summer. With an Alloptic broadband access solution, we feel our current and long term growth and service delivery needs can easily be accommodated no matter what the future brings."

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 more than five years of field hardened operational history. The Alloptic solution uses a standard ITU PON architecture while delivering a gigabit of bandwidth to a consumer. With a native ability to support traditional TDM voice over an Ethernet-based platform, Alloptic is able to provide today's worry free telephone services while seamlessly supporting next generation services like IP HDTV.

"We are pleased to be working with Border to Border as they rollout a true broadband access network," said Shane Eleniak, VP of Marketing and Business Development at Alloptic. "Our system will provide Border to Border greater flexibility in building their network both from a service as well as network deployment perspective. Our Xgen series of ONTs are ideally suited for Border to Border's service area. All of our ONTs have long reach optics as standard optical components. This allows service providers the flexibility to service less densely populated areas."
