JUNE 20, 2008 -- Motorola Inc. (search for Motorola) has announced that two telecom operators, D&P Communications and PBT Communications, have selected Motorola's FTTH equipment to build out all-fiber networks to support the delivery of triple-play (RF video, IP data, and digital telephony) entertainment and broadband services. Motorola says these new GPON deployments will enable faster broadband Internet speeds and offer the ability to deliver the highest-quality high-definition TV (HDTV), video-on-demand (VoD), and standard-definition television programming available to consumers today.
Both D&P Communications and PBT Communications will deploy the Motorola AXS2200 optical line terminal (OLT) and new ONT1400GT optical network terminal (ONT).
The combination of the AXS2200 and ONT1400 allows service providers to take advantage of the ultrabroadband nature of GPON to offer new tiers of residential and commercial broadband services, while leveraging the full capabilities of GPON to deliver trusted RF video services via existing RF headend and set-top boxes. This approach allows service providers like D&P and PBT to achieve the cost benefits associated with the reuse of existing video networking and RF set-top boxes, including Motorola's line of headends and set-tops, while gaining the flexibility of a very-high throughput IP service delivery platform, says the equipment supplier.
George Simmons, PhD, corporate vice president and general manager, access networks solutions, Motorola, says, "We're showing operators that whatever size and type of network they have in place, we can provide a cost-efficient migration path to FTTH and GPON. The goal is to continue increasing the value of broadband services for subscribers while approaching network upgrades with a realistic notion of what operators have to spend. We believe that GPON carries extraordinary upside, and we're pleased to be working with both D&P and PBT to make their deployments possible."
Based on open standards and a flexible design, the ONT1400GT can be configured to seamlessly deliver TDM voice, quality VoIP, multiport high-speed Internet access, and IPTV via a single fiber-optic connection to the home. The ONT1400GT also supports interactive services by integrating upstream signals from Motorola's family of RF headends, RF set-tops, and combination RF/IP set-top boxes. Optimized for the delivery of video, the AXS2200 OLT features high density, scalability, and flexibility and provides suitable capacity for growth in services such as IPTV, HD VoD, and time-shifted television.
