| There are a number of inaccuracies and misconceptions about the EPON technology that the list of questions below should help resolve.
|
 |
Yes, Alloptic EPON platform complies with the IEEE 802.3 standards. Alloptic is closely aligned with the EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) EPON standard. |
|
Yes. EPON provides a more affordable, more flexible solution. Field deployed splitters do not require the time and expense of acquiring real estate, construction costs for environmental huts, or the expensive environmental controls associated with active elements. A splitter hand hole occupies a fraction of the space of a controlled environmental vault (CEV), and can serve as many, if not, more homes than an active solution. At a nominal cost of $40 per split (including the enclosure), Alloptic’s passive solution is very cost effective.
We feel that Alloptic’s equipment can thus be grown very easily and much more efficiently then other solutions. Because PON Outside Plant equipment is fast to install and relatively inexpensive it is a very cost effective way to build the network as customer services are requested, and revenues are collected. |

The Alloptic system supports Open Access far and above any other access system on the market today. Alloptic allows you to separate traffic between multiple service providers. Services can be managed on a Class of Service (COS), Type of Service (TOS), of VLAN level of service. |
|
Alloptic supports multiple TDM and VOIP based service providers. Alloptic's patent on TDM service over passive optical networks (PONs), allows Alloptic customers the ability to seamlessly and cost effectively offer legacy TDM services over a state-of-the-art fiber infrastructure.
In addition, Alloptic's on-board 3-1-0 muxing capabilities, allows you to cross-connect any subscriber to any voice service provider. |
|
Alloptic supports multiple data service providers. With the class of service (COS) capabilities of the Alloptic platform, rate limits starting at 64Kbs up to 1000Mbs can be provided in increments of 64Kbs. These limits can be applied in four symmetries: minimum and maximum downstream, and minimum and maximum upstream. Also burst limits can be applied utilizing bandwidth dynamically. Additionally, the Alloptic system can be made to be “application aware” if the service provider chooses to implement Type of Service (TOS) tags. Unlike connection-oriented virtual circuits used in ATM this capability provides intelligent packet forwarding based upon the application’s priority settings. |
|
Yes. With Alloptic's single fiber access solution, the Alloptic Access network can support both IP video and RF video service running simultaneously over the access network. |
|
Absolutely. Alloptic has customer's around the globe delivering IP video over Alloptic's fiber access solution. Alloptic's industry leading IP video handling architecture efficiently delivers IP video over the access network while significantly reducing latency due to channel changes. |
|
Alloptic supports dynamic bandwidth functionality. The bandwidth can be applied where it is required and not wasted. Alloptic is fully capable of handling HDTV services today. |
|
Alloptic's EPON solution brings together the industry's most reliable network architecture (PON), and the worlds most widely deployed communications architecture to deliver the reliability of "golden telephony" with the flexibility of Ethernet.
With redundancy options available at key points in the network, the Alloptic access solution is designed to always "deliver the digital lifesytle".
|
|
Alloptic fully supports Class of Service (COS) through matrix Service Level Agreements that can be delivered to any point in the entire system. In an Alloptic system each and every port or VLAN can receive discrete SLA's based upon minimum bandwidth guarantees, maximum bandwidth not to be exceeded, or any one of four levels of prioritization. For further granularity multiple VLANs may be assigned to the same port. |
|
The Alloptic platform is designed for the entire community- Residential, Business, Education, Multi-Dwelling Unit and Government. Alloptic’s modular solutions are based on a variety of ONU’s engineered specifically for the intended services and location in which they will be installed. Home, business, and Multi-Dwelling Units (MDU) ONU’s come in temperature hardened form factors. |
|
Absolutely. Alloptic supports the standard G.983.1 and G.981.3 PON architecture. By upgrading to Alloptic\'s industry leading electronics in your central office and at the customer premise, you can unleash the potential of your fiber network. |
