Zhone Announces High Capacity Ethernet First-Mile Fiber Solution.OAKLAND, Calif. -- EtherActive(TM) 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. Products Expand Zhone's EtherXtend(TM) Portfolio to Deliver Cost-Effective High Bandwidth Ethernet Services over Copper or Fiber Zhone Technologies, Inc. (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 :ZHNE), a worldwide leading supplier of VoIP and 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. equipment for copper and fiber access networks, today announced its EtherActive(TM) Fiber to the Premise (FTTP) products that enable delivery of high bandwidth Ethernet services over fiber. Zhone's new EtherActive Optical Line Terminal (OLT) can support up to 10 subscribers per blade with 10/100/1000Mbps service over either copper or single/dual mode fiber. Zhone's innovative OLT solution allows carriers to mix & match copper and fiber services on the same card. As part of Zhone's EtherXtend product portfolio, the new EtherActive products allow carriers to deliver Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. Services directly to homes and businesses. Zhone's EtherXtend products have already received acclaim as being first to market and the market leader in the rapidly growing Ethernet over bonded copper market. Today's EtherActive product announcement expands the EtherXtend product family to include additional Ethernet service options over both copper and fiber access networks. This broad range of Ethernet service solutions are all available on Zhone's highly acclaimed Multi-Access Line Concentrator (MALC MALC Multiple Access Line Concentrator (Zhone Technologies) MALC Marin Academic Library Consortium (Kentfield, CA) MALC Management of Acquisition Logistics Center (US DoD) ), the world's Number 1 market leading Broadband Loop Carrier product. By operating on Zhone's market-leading MALC platforms, the EtherXtend product family enables carriers to quickly deliver standards based Ethernet services over existing copper or fiber utilizing industry standard EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) Using Ethernet to provide connectivity from the customer to the carrier. See 802.3ah. technology. Today's announcement of new Ethernet over fiber solutions complements Zhone's market leading bonded Ethernet over copper products. Together, EtherXtend provides compellingly flexible and manageable Ethernet products over copper or fiber from a single platform and using a common management system. As market leader in its class, the MALC delivers carrier class reliability and scalability of the most widely required services deployed by carriers today including POTS, DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary and legacy special services. By simultaneously offering Ethernet service options on the same chassis, the MALC allows these new services to be added with only the addition of a line card. No overlay network A logical network that runs on top of another network. For example, peer-to-peer networks are overlay networks on the Internet. They use their own addressing system for determining how files are distributed and accessed, which provides a layer on top of the Internet's IP addressing. or retraining re·train tr. & intr.v. re·trained, re·train·ing, re·trains To train or undergo training again. re·train of technical is staff required. Also announced today was Zhone's Indoor/Outdoor Residential Gateway including 2/4 Ethernet Ports, 2 FXS (Foreign eXchange Station) The interface provided by the telephone company to its customers, which includes dial tone, power and ring voltage. The telephone jack on the wall is an FXS interface. Ports to support VoIP services and HPNAv3 over copper or coax to support IPTV services. Importantly, Zhone's leading technology solutions not only set the standard for packet and fiber migration, but also maintain support for current market requirements including both DTMF (Dual-Tone MultiFrequency) The type of audio signals that are generated when you press the buttons on a touch-tone telephone. See also DMTF. DTMF - Dual Tone Multi Frequency Touch Tone and Pulse Dialing Pulse dialing, dial pulse, or loop disconnect dialing, also called Rotary or Decadic dialling in the United Kingdom (because up to 10 pulses are sent), and IKZ Impulskennzeichen in German, is pulsing in which a direct-current pulse train is produced by and Loop Start support for both FXS and FXO FXO Foreign Exchange Office . Ethernet is found increasingly today in homes, offices, schools libraries as well as in carrier's transport networks. Among the last vestiges where Ethernet remains absent is in the access network that connects the service provider's network with the subscriber. Zhone's comprehensive EtherXtend Ethernet solutions enable carriers to reach virtually any customer location and allow rapid provisioning of native Ethernet services ranging from megabits to gigabits. "With the rapid proliferation of bandwidth-hungry Ethernet applications, service providers are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. elegant ways of delivering high bandwidth Ethernet services that their subscribers demand," said David Markowitz, vice president of marketing for Zhone. "Zhone's EtherXtend products allow service providers the flexibility to deliver Ethernet everywhere over both copper and fiber." Zhone's EtherXtend products are EFM standards compliant to deliver point-to-point Ethernet connectivity over the WAN. EtherXtend transports Ethernet directly over copper or fiber making it easy for subscribers to interconnect LANs over virtually any distance. These transparent LAN services allow businesses with broadly distributed remote offices to operate as if located on the same local network. By providing the broadest range of bandwidth requirements Bandwidth requirements (communications) The channel bandwidths needed to transmit various types of signals, using various processing schemes. Every signal observed in practice can be expressed as a sum (discrete or over a frequency continuum) of sinusoidal , service providers can offer a wide array of revenue generating bandwidth-intensive services and applications that their customers demand.
