OFS Access Advantage System supports 20km triple play fiber to the premises.OFS (OFS, Norcross, GA, www.ofsbrightwave.com) A manufacturer of optical fibers and interconnect equipment. Formerly the Optical Fiber Solutions (OFS) Group of Lucent, OFS was turned into a stand-alone company acquired by Furukawa Electric in 2001. , designer, manufacturer and supplier of leading edge fiber optic products today announced that its low-loss Access ADVANTAGE System supports voice, data, today's analog video The original video recording method that stores continuous waves of red, green and blue intensities. In analog video, the number of rows is fixed. There are no real columns, and the maximum detail is determined by the frequency response of the analog system. , and advanced digital video over 20km Passive Optical Networks (PONs) in all popular configurations, including single fiber networks that place 1:32 splitters close to subscribers. This system enables lower system costs for service providers' FTTP (Fiber To The Premises) The installation of optical fiber from the carrier directly into the home or office. Also called "fiber to the home" (FTTH). See PON and FTTC. See also FTP. networks. The Access Advantage system reduces capital investment by enabling the use of lower cost active optical components for video, data, and voice services. Users of the Access ADVANTAGE system can save over $200 per subscriber by using low power to deliver high quality analog video, compared to high power analog video systems. It also provides 50% more bandwidth than conventional systems to enable low cost migration to future bandwidth demanding services such as High Definition (HD) Video Telephony See videophone. , instant HD videos on demand, and HD interactive gaming. "By lowering system loss and adding 50% more bandwidth, the superior transmission performance of the Access ADVANTAGE system extends reach, lowers cost, and supports existing applications. In addition the Access ADVANTAGE system provides a low cost upgrade path for future high bandwidth applications," said Paul Neuhart, President, Optical Fiber, Cable and Connectivity Division, OFS. The Access ADVANTAGE system is the first end-to-end FTTP optical fiber cabling system that enables low cost for current and future 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. applications, point to point, and mixed architecture networks, for analog and digital voice, data and video applications. OFS is a designer, manufacturer, and supplier of leading edge optical fiber, optical fiber cable, optical connectivity and specialty photonics products for a wide variety of applications and industries. OFS, formerly the Optical Fiber Solutions division of Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :LU), has a proven track record of being first in the industry with application specific fibers, optical connectors, ribbon cables, erbium erbium (ûr`bēəm) [from Ytterby, a town in Sweden], metallic chemical element; symbol Er; at. no. 68; at. wt. 167.26; m.p. 1,529°C;; b.p. 2,863°C;; sp. gr. 9.05 at 25°C;; valence +3. doped dope n. 1.
