MELBOURNE, Australia -- PBN, a leading supplier of end-to-end optical broadband solutions, today announced that for the first time in the Americas, the new ODN-RFoG will be unveiled at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2009.

The ODN-RFoG optical distribution node for Radio Frequency over Glass (RFoG) forms part of PBN’s Light Link Series 2 suite of products and is ideal for providing customers with a simplified alternative to building all fibre networks. The advanced node has been designed as a prime building block for delivering cable television with DOCSIS based high speed internet services over PON compliant fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) cable plant. The product is well suited to expand existing DOCSIS/HFC networks with FTTx in new or renovated areas, without the need to deploy alternative BSS and OSS.

The ODN-RFoG includes a four-port Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifier (EDFA) for the forward path. This provides capacity for up to 32 or 64 CATV/DOCSIS customers per port, totalling up to 128 or 256 customers per node.

The return path can be equipped with one or two dual optical receiver modules for 5~65 MHz, an RF combiner and one or two optical return path transmitter modules with various laser types. The unit comes with single or dual power supply modules and an optional DOCSIS/HMS based remote management module.

The ODN-RFoG, like other PBN products and solutions, is fully supported by the Light Link® Series 3 NMS3 suite of software products for managing and controlling advanced optical broadband networks.
