Lexcom Selects Alloptic for FTTP Deployments.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Alloptic, Inc., a global leader in the design and development of Passive Optical Networks (PONs), the most widely deployed next generation access network solution, announced that Lexcom of Lexington, North Carolina, has selected Alloptic's MicroNode[TM] technology to provide Voice, two-way Video, and High-Speed Data services over a Fiber-To-The-Home infrastructure. The MicroNode[TM] allows Lexcom to take fiber to their customers while preserving their existing headend investment in forward and return path technology.

"We were looking for a way to expand our customer base, increase ARPU and enable a full suite of services, while leveraging our existing headend equipment investments over an all fiber network," said Richard Reese, President, Lexcom. "With Alloptic's MicroNode[TM] technology we are able to do exactly that. We are now getting closer to our customers with fiber and providing them faster Internet connections, along with their telephone and television services over a single, more cost efficient infrastructure. With Alloptic's Hybrid RF PON, we can compete effectively, while using our existing cable modems and set top boxes, and easily migrate to a full GEPON solution as the customer requirements dictate."

Alloptic is an industry leader in the development and deployment of PON technology. Alloptic's access technology has been deployed around the world and offers the only solution with years of field-hardened operational history. Alloptic offers the widest portfolio of products for fiber access networks.

"Alloptic's Hybrid RF PON solution was designed specifically for service providers as a cost-effective way to get more bandwidth to their customers without replacing the HFC network," said Shane Eleniak, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Alloptic. "Using the MicroNode[TM], companies like Lexcom are able to preserve their existing investment in headend equipment, cable modems, and set top boxes. Our Hybrid RF PON allows operators to quickly and easily transition their networks to a GEPON solution when and where additional bandwidth is required, or new applications dictate."
