BroadLight Adds to Its Intellectual Property Rights for GPON.New Patent Secures BroadLight's Competitive Edge MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- BroadLight, the leading supplier of GPON See PON. semiconductors and software, today announced that it has expanded its Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio by securing a new U.S. patent, number 7,288,983, which enables its products to exceed GPON performance requirements over the industrial temperature range. With the addition of this recent patent, BroadLight now holds IP throughout the GPON system, giving it a significant competitive advantage and technology leadership position. "BroadLight is a pioneer in GPON technology and, as a result, has led the industry in being first to market with high performance and highly integrated ASICs," said Igor Elkanovich, VP of VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit. (1) (Very Large Scale Integration) Between 100,000 and one million transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, LSI and ULSI. (2) (VLSI Technology, Inc., Tempe, AZ, www.semiconductors. for BroadLight. "Our customers ultimately benefit from our technology and this and other BroadLight IP makes the competitive difference in our products." The patent is for a novel approach providing accurate temperature compensation of 2.5 Gbps mixed-signal circuitry and allows robust GPON signal transmission over the entire industrial temperature range (-40oC to +85oC). This enables BroadLight chips a high level of integration and exceeding standard jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle requirements over the temperature range without using external components. High jitter tolerance and low jitter generation of BroadLight chips allow robust GPON signal transmission using low cost optical transceivers. About BroadLight BroadLight delivers the industry's only end-to-end (E2E E2E End To End E2E Entry to Employment (UK Government training) E2E Engineer to Engineer E2E Enterprise to Enterprise E2E Employee-to-Employee (enterprise software) ) solution (from the customer premises to the central office) for equipment vendors designing ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union compliant passive optical network (PON (Passive Optical Network) An optical point-to-multipoint access network. There are no optical repeaters or other active devices in a PON, hence the name "passive. ) systems. The company's completely integrated product line consists of standards-based communication semiconductors and software solutions that enable its customers to deliver BPON See PON. and GPON equipment to carriers and services providers worldwide. This E2E solution provides customers with a lower risk development cycle and enables them to significantly speed time-to-market. As a result, BroadLight technology has been adopted by leading manufacturers who are currently providing equipment for the some of the world's largest fiber PON roll-outs.
