Source Photonics Inc. (a subsidiary of MRV Communications, Inc.), a
leading provider of optical communication products used in
telecommunication systems and data communication networks, today
announces the CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) GPON OLT
and ONT product family.
“Our CWDM GPON transceivers are
based on the existing mature GPON products, and provide an immediate,
alternative solution to allow service providers to expand their
bandwidth with minimum investment.”
Source Photonics CWDM GPON OLT and ONT provide an alternative
cost-effective solution to expand the total capacity to 10Gb/s or beyond
in gigabit passive optical networks (GPON). It is based on the existing
mature GPON technology using multiple CWDM channels to expand the total
capacity in the single fiber. The CWDM provides a flexible network
architecture and pay-as-you-go service providers, enabling increased
bandwidth from 2.5Gb/s to 12.5Gb/s downstream and from 1.25Gb/s to
6.25Gb/s upstream. The CWDM GPON transceivers are compliant with the
existing GPON ITU standard G.984.2.
With continuing bandwidth demand to support internet video and 3G
wireless network growth, 10G EPON and XG-PON are emerging in the market.
However, 10G PON technology has not yet reached maturity and a
competitive cost point, said Darron Young, Senior Director of Product
Line Management at Source Photonics. Our CWDM GPON transceivers are
based on the existing mature GPON products, and provide an immediate,
alternative solution to allow service providers to expand their
bandwidth with minimum investment.
CWDM GPON products complement Source Photonics existing 10GPON and
10GEPON product portfolio. With the newly added CWDM GPON, Source
Photonics offers all next generation PON solutions. The CWDM GPON
products are sampling now and are expected to be fully released for
production in early 2011.
The CWDM GPON product family will be on display at our booth in next
weeks China International Optoelectronic Exhibition from September 6 to
9, 2010 in Shenzhen, China.
