New Products Extend Occam`s GPON Offerings and Feature DS-1 Connectivity for
Business Applications and Integrated RF over IP
SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Occam Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: OCNW), a leading broadband access supplier
offering multiservice access platform (MSAP) solutions based on pure packet
technologies, today announced three new optical network terminals (ONTs)
designed to help service providers deliver a full array of FlexPlay fiber
services for their business and residential subscribers. These new ONTs provide
intelligent, high-bandwidth transport, fiber line termination and the same
high-quality voice performance as Occam`s award winning BLC products.

The Occam ON 2501, ON 2534 and ON 2568 complement Occam`s existing suite of GPON
and Gigabit Ethernet FTTP ONT products and are optimized to deliver services
such as traditional telephone, high-speed data and entertainment services when
deployed with the BLC 6322 GPON optical line terminal.

"There is an increased demand for high bandwidth applications such as IPTV,
video via RF overlay and gaming," said Jeff Heynen, directing analyst for
broadband and IPTV at Infonetics Research. "With volume shipments of GPON
products in full swing within the telecom industry, Occam`s new offerings come
at an opportune time to assist service providers seeking a single platform to
leverage GPON and gigabit Ethernet ONTs."

Service providers seeking a fully integrated solution to meet the demands of
their business and residential subscribers can take advantage of the powerful
product features that include:

* Connectivity for business applications: The Occam ON 2568 enables MEF-8
compliant DS-1 circuit emulation services (CES) for business applications. The
ON 2568 is equipped with two DS1 ports, each designed for private line,
dedicated data and business voice applications.
* Native support for RF Return: Powering interactive entertainment services, the
Occam ON 2534 natively supports RF over IP and integrates into SCTE 55-1 and
55-2 compliant video environments..
* Carrier Ethernet service demarcation: The Occam ON 2501 is a full featured,
intelligent Ethernet demarcation ONT that can be installed inside the premise.
This cost-competitive device is ideal for residential and business applications
looking for the simplest way to deliver intelligent Ethernet to the premise.
* Deployment flexibility: Occam`s new ONTs can be deployed in a wide range of
environments including single family residences (SFRs), small-to-medium
businesses (SMBs) and multiple dwelling/multiple tenant units (MDU/MTUs),
providing unmatched flexibility, simplicity and cost-efficiency. The ON 2501 is
optimized for indoor deployment, while the ON 2534 and ON 2568 are hardened for
challenging outdoor environments.
* Flexible standards-based service delivery: Occam ONTs enable comprehensive
residential and business services based on the latest industry standards
including TR-156, TR-101, MEF-6, MEF-8 and MEF-10. Occam standards-based
innovations enable simple provisioning of predefined services such as Carrier
Ethernet, voice, Internet, gaming and IPTV to accelerate time to revenue.

"Occam is committed to enhancing the delivery of traditional voice and advanced
services through unified, intelligent demarcation devices at the customer
premise site," said Juan Vela, Director of Solutions Marketing and Strategy for
Occam Networks. "Our approach is to provide our customers with a standards
based, feature rich family of ONTs that utilize Ethernet as the standard service
demarc at the premise - home or business."
