LuminentOIC Announces Pluggable GPON Burst Mode OLT Transceiver Product Series
March 27th, 2007
March 27, 2007 ? Chatsworth, CA and Hsin-Chu, Taiwan - LuminentOIC, a leading supplier of access and metro transceivers, CWDM & DWDM solutions, and Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) solutions, today announced the availability of industry leading small form pluggable (SFP) Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) optical line terminal (OLT) transceiver product line.
The introduction of pluggable interfaces to LuminentOIC?s established GPON product line affords system OEMs and carriers more flexibility in network deployments and the ability to build out and upgrade networks over time. LuminentOIC?s SFP form factor OLT transceiver complements its established SFF form factor OLT and full portfolio of ONT GPON transceivers. LuminentOIC?s GPON SFP OLT transceiver meets the strict guard time and preamble timing requirements of the ITU-T G.984 standard required to achieve maximum bandwidth efficiency. Requiring a single reset input signal from the system Media Access Control (MAC), the SFP OLT transceiver can fully recover incoming burst signals within the 44 bit preamble during both burst-mode and ranging conditions. With typical burst-mode receiver sensitivity of -31dBm and overload performance of -5dBm, LuminentOIC?s OLT product series offers more than 23dB dynamic range during the burst-mode operation allowing enhanced system performance and margins. In addition, LuminentOIC?s GPON OLT solutions are capable of measuring and reporting received optical power for bursts as short as 200ns.
?The demand for end-to-end GPON solutions from our global customer base has driven innovation in burst mode receiver technologies and has established a volume market for Distributed Feedback (DFB) lasers and Avalanche Photodiode (APD) receivers?, said Hui Nie, Director of Product Management, FTTP at LuminentOIC, ?LuminentOIC is well positioned to continue to address emerging customer requirements in the Access market due to our established high volume manufacturing infrastructure and our vertical integration, from chip to transceiver.?
LuminentOIC?s small form factor (SFF) type GPON OLT transceivers have been qualified by more than 15 leading system vendors globally and have shipped in volume since second half of 2006. LuminentOIC?s GPON SFP OLT product is available immediately with volume production starting in the second quarter 2007.
