Alphion Corporation Launches Complete GPON Family

Chicago, IL - Alphion Corporation, a privately held company that develops, manufactures and markets communication systems, sub-systems, and integrated photonic components based on its proprietary QLight technology, announced recently the launch of its GPON product family. The family consists of the Broadband GPON Platform, AOLT-4000, Optical Network Terminal (OLT), a full line up of customer premise Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) for indoor and outdoor applications, as well as passive splitter units. The new Alphion GPON product family was on display at the NXTcomm exhibition, June 19th-21st in the McCormick Convention Center.

The AOLT-4000 reflects the state-of-the-art in GPON OLT equipment, with industry-leading 40 GPON ports per shelf, ultra-fast 200 Gb/s backplane, and 56 Gb/s uplink capacity. The platform supports both passive ring and passive star network architectures. The product family includes network terminals for single family (AONT-100 SFU), small business (AONT-200), and multiple dwelling (AONT-300).

"Alphion now offers complete end-to-end solutions for FTTx networks," commented Dr. Bharat P. Dave, Alphion Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our GPON product line is designed to support convergence of voice, video, and data in a unified platform to offer multiple-play services. Alphion is rapidly becoming a leading supplier for the expansive worldwide FTTx deployment."

The Alphion AOLT-4000 and AONT-100/200/300 family were developed in full compliance with the International Telecommunications Union's FSAN standard for FTTx equipment (ITU-T G.984). This ensures that the Alphion product family meets the stringent carrier-class requirements dictated in the FSAN standard and allow interoperability with a broad spectrum of other manufacturers' GPON equipment.
