10G EPON and 10G DePON Optical Network Units and Linecards
These are new additions for the Salira product line. The company says that 10-Gbit/s DePON offers the combination of high bandwidth, lower cost, and effective service control required for high-volume business and residential services. Docsis over EPON (DePON) gives MSOs the ability to manage and operate EPON networks with their existing Docsis infrastructures, thus preserving the existing investment in Docsis management, servers, applications, and operations. The wavelengths used in 10G-EPON are allocated to ensure coexistence with existing GEPON and RF video to enable support for symmetric 10-Gbit/s ONUs, asymmetric 10/1-Gbit/s ONUs, and symmetric 1-Gbit/s Onus, as well as radio-frequency video overlay on the same optical distribution network.
