Livermore, CA – October 19, 2009 – Alloptic, a global leader in the development of RF over glass (RFoG) and passive optical networking (PON) solutions for telecom, CATV, and private network operators worldwide, today announced the availability of a new range of MicroNode™ RFoG optical networking units (ONU): the 500 series MDU MicroNode™ RFoG ONU. The Alloptic MDU MicroNode R-ONU is optimized for deployments in multiple dwelling and multiple tenant (MDU/MTU) buildings and other applications with demanding distribution wiring.
The Alloptic MDU MicroNode R-ONU expands core RFoG benefits by eliminating the requirement for a distribution amplifier, saving both equipment and installation costs while also reducing overall noise in the network. With configurable RF gain and slope settings, it allows a single unit type to be used for different applications with varied distribution coax cable environments. This minimizes the costs and complexity of installation and inventory management. The MDU MicroNode R-ONU further improves FTTx economics, allowing service providers to serve multiple customers via a single MicroNode.
“Alloptic is excited about the release of this version of our industry-leading MicroNode product line,” says Shane Eleniak, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Alloptic. “This builds on the success we have enjoyed in providing RFoG solutions. With roughly one-fourth of the US residential subscribers in MDU housing, and even more internationally, our customers needed solutions that lower the overall cost and speed up deployments. The new MDU MicroNode R-ONU addresses those needs.”
“RFoG is gearing up, past the early-adopters and small-scale trials towards mass deployment status,” says Lynn Hutcheson, VP of Communications Components at Ovum-RHK. “The advances that Alloptic continues to make with their RFoG products are facilitating this mass-deployment readiness. The new MDU MicroNode R-ONU extends RFoG’s reach beyond single-family residential into high density environments.”
RFoG solutions allow service providers to continue to leverage traditional HFC equipment and back-office applications with new FTTP deployments. Cable operators can continue to rely on the existing provisioning and billing systems, CMTS platforms, headend equipment, set-top boxes, conditional access technology, and cable modems while gaining benefits inherent with FTTx and PON technologies.
