Dasan Networks Picks Phothena Transceiver for Optical Ethernet.CALGARY, Alberta -- Phothena Optics, a provider of low cost bi-directional SFF (Small Form Factor) Refers to a device that is smaller than others in its field. For example, a miniature display on a cellphone is an SFF device because displays can be extremely large on monitors and TVs by comparison. See form factor. optical transceiver using plastic Optical Sub-Assembly (OSA 1. OSA - Open Scripting Architecture. 2. OSA - Open System Architecture. ), and Dasan Networks, Inc., a subsidiary of Siemens, Korea's leading supplier of broadband access equipment today announced that Phothena's 155Mbps bidirectional SFF optical transceivers are designed into Dasan's equipment for 100Mbps high speed internet. Korean Telecom has selected this solution for volume deployment in Korea's Optical LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. network rollout. "This is an important milestone for us and we are delighted that Dasan Networks, Korea's leading supplier of broadband equipment, has selected Phothena's bidirectional SFF optical transceiver for its optical Ethernet solutions," said Dr. Yung Sung Son, President and CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization.

Optical LAN service network at apartment complex with a single fiber optical transceiver solution shall provide most cost effective way of expansion of subscriber capacity without additional deployment of optical cables. Mr. In Sik Choi, Deputy General Manager, Dasan Networks, Inc., said, "We are very pleased to be partnering with Phothena Optics in supplying a leading-edge optical Ethernet solution for the high speed internet applications. Their devices match the performance and cost for this highly competitive optical LAN market. From our experience, this is the only solution that achieves the low cost required for high volume deployment. Korea leads the world in broadband users and we are committed to increasing the number of users by increasing the performance of the network while lowering operating costs." About Phothena Optics Phothena Optics Corporation, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has developed a patented technology to reduce the cost of transceivers for widespread deployment of optical solutions to high-speed digital media interconnection. Phothena has pioneered in developing bi-directional optical transceiver products for multimode fiber and plastic optical fiber Plastic optical fiber (POF) is an optical fiber which is made out of plastic. traditionally PMMA (acrylic) is the core material, and fluorinated polymers are the cladding material. . Phothena products make short distance optical transmission very cost effective and a reality for next generation higher bandwidth optical applications. Phothena's bi-directional optical module is suitable for optical LAN, optical DVI/HDMI, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1394 and optical USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. for longer distance digital data transmission without EMI, EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. noise and degradation of data. Phothena optical solutions can replace or complement the existing electrical connection with an attractive cost for the short reach applications. For more information visit www.phothena.com. |
