Petaluma, California, United States
Teknovus, the leading provider of Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (G-EPON) chips for the deployment of triple-play services in broadband access networks, announced that Furukawa Electric's (Furukawa) G-EPON SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ONU, based on Teknovus' G-EPON ONU chip, was displayed through NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) for Enterprise customers at Interop Tokyo 2008.
NTT Com is a leading Japanese carrier, providing advanced information and communications technology (ICT) solutions worldwide, with annual revenues exceeding one trillion yen (approximately $10 billion).
Furukawa is a leading communications system vendor providing G-EPON systems, including the first G-EPON SFP-ONU solution, the FITELwave AG9, which fits entirely within the standard SFP, enabling network solution providers to expand rapidly into fiber-based networks. Furukawa's SFP ONU enables plug-and-play for FTTx without requiring AC adaptors, Ethernet cabling or changes to existing LAN software.
The Teknovus-based SFP-ONU works with any standard SFP port enabling a wide range of applications, including:
-- Enterprise switches and routers for fiber to the desktop
-- Mini-DSLAMs for fiber-to-the-basement
-- IP-PBXs and Soft-Switches for fiber-to-the-business
-- HGW with SFP socket for fiber to the home in one box
-- WiMAX/Femtocell Backhaul for fiber-to-the-base station
The Teknovus-based SFP ONU offers all of the advantages of the Teknovus G-EPON chip design, such as guaranteed SLAs (Service Level Agreements), advanced traffic management, multiple LLIDs, application aware filtering, IPv6, and optical monitoring and management. Teknovus provides the only PON chip that fits into the SFP form factor, which requires a small chip and extremely low power consumption.
"NTT Com is highly regarded for their managed network solutions around the globe," stated Mr. Ryoji Takaichi, Teknovus General Manager of Japan. "We are very pleased to be working with NTT Com to create new solution offerings based on the SFP-ONU, expanding their support of fiber-based networks for the enterprise markets."
