Source Photonics Introduces CWDM GPON OLT and ONT

CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Source Photonics Inc. (a subsidiary of MRV Communications, Inc.), a leading provider of optical communication products used in telecommunication systems and data communication networks, today announces the CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) GPON OLT and ONT product family.

Source Photonics CWDM GPON OLT and ONT provide an alternative cost-effective solution to expand the total capacity to 10Gb/s or beyond in gigabit passive optical networks (GPON). It is based on the existing mature GPON technology using multiple CWDM channels to expand the total capacity in the single fiber. The CWDM provides a flexible network architecture and pay-as-you-go service providers, enabling increased bandwidth from 2.5Gb/s to 12.5Gb/s downstream and from 1.25Gb/s to 6.25Gb/s upstream. The CWDM GPON transceivers are compliant with the existing GPON ITU standard G.984.2.

“With continuing bandwidth demand to support internet video and 3G wireless network growth, 10G EPON and XG-PON are emerging in the market. However, 10G PON technology has not yet reached maturity and a competitive cost point,” said Darron Young, Senior Director of Product Line Management at Source Photonics. “Our CWDM GPON transceivers are based on the existing mature GPON products, and provide an immediate, alternative solution to allow service providers to expand their bandwidth with minimum investment.”

CWDM GPON products complement Source Photonics’ existing 10GPON and 10GEPON product portfolio. With the newly added CWDM GPON, Source Photonics offers all next generation PON solutions. The CWDM GPON products are sampling now and are expected to be fully released for production in early 2011.

The CWDM GPON product family will be on display at our booth in next week’s China International Optoelectronic Exhibition from September 6 to 9, 2010 in Shenzhen, China.
