LIVERMORE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
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 the availability of its ultra high
performance Return Path Receivers. The EVRRL410 series of Return Path Receivers
allows service providers DOCSIS 3.0 performance with the widest dynamic range in
which to operate a high capacity QAM return path using a standard,
non-proprietary RFoG architecture.
The new Return Path Receiver builds upon the high performance of the Alloptic
Receiver line, which already led the industry in noise performance. The EVRRL410
series provide 7 dB noise performance improvement over typical analog return
receivers and almost 3 dB improvement over other Alloptic receivers. This ultra
low noise performance translates into the ability to carry, with 15dB of margin,
4 bonded 64QAM channels in a DOCSIS 3.0 return path over an SCTE-standard,
non-proprietary RFoG architecture operating with a 29dB optical budget.
"Alloptic is proud to be extending our leadership in the RFoG market. We are
committed to using standards-based solutions to resolve application issues,"
says Shane Eleniak, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Business
Development at Alloptic. "The new ultra low noise Return Path Receivers provide
significant margin, allowing greater than 20km optical reach and more splits per
PON, simplifying the successful deployment of DOCSIS 3.0."
"Other vendors have proposed proprietary methods for reach and density, but from
a deployment and purchasing perspective it just makes more sense to choose a
standards-based approach that offers interoperability and more flexibility.
Alloptic delivers dynamic range and noise performance better than or equal to
the best proprietary schemes, but with a fully compatible, non-proprietary
solution."
Alloptic expands its line of Return Path Receivers with the release of the
EVRRL410 series. The Return Path Receiver product line includes designs for both
typical and high RF output requirements, as well as ones used for long reach and
fiber-starved deployments. All receivers are temperature-hardened in 1RU form
factors, with both front and rear access versions.
RFoG allows service providers to continue to leverage traditional HFC equipment
and back-office applications with the new FTTP deployments. Cable operators can
continue to rely on the existing provisioning and billing systems, CMTS
platforms, headend equipment, set-top boxes, conditional access technology, and
cable modems while gaining benefits inherent with RFoG and FTTx.
