Alloptic, a global leader in the development of RF over glass (RFoG) and passive optical networking (PON) solutions for CATV, telecom, and private network operators worldwide, today announced that it has extended the capabilities of its edge10(TM) OLT to interoperate with ONT designs that are based on EPON chipsets from industry leaders PMC-Sierra and Teknovus.
"PMC-Sierra has always focused on delivering fully standard-compliant products in every FTTH market in which we operate," said Raphael Sankar, Vice President and co-General Manager for PMC-Sierra's FTTH division. "This Alloptic initiative demonstrates a fully interoperable EPON system that is ready for the mass MSO market without using proprietary methods that limit availability and increase cost."
