Ericsson Acquires Leading Fiber Access Company Entrisphere.STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Ericsson (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ERIC) today announced its acquisition of Entrisphere, a company providing fiber access technology, based in Santa Clara, USA. The acquisition strengthens Ericsson fixed broadband access portfolio and its position in converged networks. Fiber technology is essential for High Definition IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) Also called "TV over IP," IPTV delivers scheduled TV programs and video-on-demand (VOD) via the IP protocol and digital streaming techniques used to watch video on the Internet. and other IP based services with high demand on bandwidth and cost efficiency. Entrisphere has a well proven and competitive product portfolio, ready for large scale deployment. The Entrisphere acquisition brings a leading IP based broadband access platform ready for volume deployment compliant with both North American North American named after North America.

Fiber technology is a critical part of the next generation access network and the industry leading standard is known as Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON See PON. ). Since its first deployment of fiber access solution in 2003, Entrisphere has worked with major operators to deliver IP based services to customers across North America. With its GPON solution already in service in North America and the system being evaluated for deployment by leading telecom carriers around the globe, the acquisition forms an important cornerstone in Ericsson's full service broadband A traditional fixed broadband network provides its services to a location/port. Multiple devices may connect to these services through the residential LAN and a common residential gateway. However, services are typically not individualized for these devices or the users using them. offering. Kurt Jofs, Executive Vice President and head of business unit Networks, Ericsson, comments: "This acquisition provides us with a very strategic product suite within the fixed broadband access segment. We can continue to build a strong position as operators start to deploy fiber access to deliver new IP based services."

Entrisphere was founded in 2000 in Santa Clara. The company employs about 140 people, including important R&D resources. The addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be market for IPTV services is as big as the fixed-broadband market - which, in another five years, will be approaching 600 million access lines. Ericsson is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet communications through its continuous technology leadership. Providing innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson is helping to create the most powerful communication companies in the world.

There are no optical repeaters or other active devices in a PON, hence the name "passive. ). Like its predecessors, GPON is a point-to-multipoint technology in which a single optical port (optical line terminal, OLT) communicates, by means of an optical splitter, with multiple subscriber devices (optical networks terminal, ONT ONT Ontario (old acronym - ON is now frequently used) ONT Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (cisco CCNP exam) ONT Optical Network Terminal ONT Ontario Northland Railway ) over common optical fiber. In point-to-point technologies, by contrast, each OLT is connected by a dedicated fiber to a single ONT. Sharing the OLT port and a substantial par of the fiber cable plant reduces the costs of opto-electronics, cabling, and civil works. |
