October 4, 2004 - Wave7 Optics Breaks the Gigabit Bandwidth Barrier for Business
Customers
“Last Mile Link” FTTP Product Family Expanded for “Layer 2”
Network Commercial Applications
Orlando, Fla., October 4, 2004 – Wave7 Optics today announced the capability to
provide Gigabit bandwidth connections for business customers here at the FTTH
Conference and Expo. Specifically, Wave7 Optics is introducing a new version of
their “Last Mile Gateway” customer premises product that features compatibility
to the IEEE 802.3 ah standard and “layer 2” capabilities for commercial
applications, such as “VLAN” (virtual local area network) based services. .
“The Last Mile Link can provide up to 500 Mb of capacity per subscriber in a
layer 3 point-to-multipoint implementation using Ethernet and IP – which is
ideal for large-scale residential deployments, but many businesses these days
prefer to have at least a Gigabit of bandwidth and their comparatively small
numbers are not conducive to multipoint implementations,” said Emmanuel Vella,
Chief Marketing Officer of Wave7 Optics. “Therefore, in order for our customers
to meet the needs of this customer segment, we are leveraging our expertise in
IP and Ethernet based networks to create a new class of CPE that offers a
cost-effective point-to-point layer 2 implementation and Gigabit bandwidth
capability.”
Earlier this year Wave7 Optics leveraged its PON expertise to develop an
advanced triple play BPON product offering in conjunction with Hitachi, Ltd.,
the world leader in BPON deployments. This latest product introduction serves to
broaden the already extensive Wave7 FTTP product portfolio across all segments
of the market.
Wave7 Optics is demonstrating the complete LML product line today through
Wednesday, October 6, at the FTTH Council Conference, booth 706 at the Caribe
Royale Resort and Convention Center in Orlando.
