Ikanos Communications’ VDSL2 Chipsets Selected by Alloptic for Gigabit Ethernet PON Terminal Equipment
Multi-mode CO and CPE Chipsets Support Worldwide Upgrades to 100 Mbps Symmetrical Performance
“The Ikanos chipsets allow us to provide an incredibly cost-effective solution for high-speed access from a temperature-hardened ONT in brownfield situations. These locations include residential neighborhoods, business parks and multi-dwelling units of all kinds – apartments, office buildings, dormitories – where replacing existing copper wiring with fiber optics is expensive and often impractical,” said
Alloptic chose Ikanos’ Fx(TM)100100-5 VDSL2 CO and Fx(TM)100100S-5 VDSL2 CPE chipsets because they offer unsurpassed performance and reliability, and the lowest power consumption per port in the industry. These multi-mode VDSL2 chipsets – which are optimized for Internet protocol television (IPTV) and triple play offerings – offer service providers a seamless migration path on which they can maximize their existing investments in broadband infrastructure.
“Alloptic is well respected for developing equipment that meets service providers’ exacting specifications for delivering cutting-edge broadband services,” said
