Opulan Technologies, Hisense Broadband and Vitesse Semiconductor
Corporation (Pink Sheets:VTSS) today announced their live demonstration
of a 10G EPON system at P&T/Wireless & Networks China 2009 (Booth
# E1051), the largest Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
exhibition in Asia. The demo includes devices from each of these
technology suppliers:
Opulan Technologies features its recently announced 10G EPON symmetric
and asymmetric chip solution which includes the newly developed 10G
EPON Optical Line Unit (OLT) OPL-06761 and the Optical Network Unit
(ONU) OPL-06760.
Hisense is showcasing its ONU and OLT optical modules, more
specifically the LTX7218 at the OLT and the LTX7219 at the ONU.
Vitesse plays an integral role in the demo with its VSC8479-01
burst-mode 16-bit transceiver. This device interfaces between the
Opulan MACs and the Hisense modules at both ends of the link.
Additionally, Vitesse's complete ONU chipset reference design VSC5602EV-05
will be part of the live demo at the show.
"Working with recognized industry leaders like Hisense and Vitesse has
allowed Opulan to rapidly deploy its 10G EPON MAC solutions into
the marketplace," said Dr. Zheng Liu, president and CEO, Opulan
Technologies. "Through successful participation in multiple vendor,
chip-level interoperability tests, we have proven that Opulan can
provide a very competitive solution into the rapidly expanding 10G EPON
marketplace worldwide."
The market readiness of the Opulan-based 10G EPON solution, complemented
by technology from component vendors Hisense and Vitesse, was cemented
when Opulan was one of only four participants to successfully undergo chip-level
interoperability testing organized by China Telecom. Indeed, this
platform as been deployed in field trials for several provinces in China
by all three major carriers including as China Telecom, China Unicom
and China Mobile. As such, the architecture is in a solid
position from which to compete with 10G GPON solutions on the
horizon.
"Hisense, after thoroughly evaluating the market potential, committed
our technical resources to the 10G EPON module-space enabling us
to quickly become a global leader," said Dr. David Li, chief scientist
and CTO, Hisense Broadband. "This strong position will allow us to
participate in the continuing system field trials along with the
upcoming volume deployments."
Joining FTTX Technology Ecosystem
Opulan and Hisense have also joined the Vitesse founded FTTX
(Fiber-to-the-Home, Building or Premise) Technology Ecosystem.
