ATLANTA -- Paceon Corporation today announced the General Availability (GA) of their multi-service platform for Fiber-to-the-Business (FTTB) products for DS1 and DS3 services using Broadband Passive Optical Networks (BPON). The generally available multi-service product offering includes the Advanced Distribution Switch 2000 (AOLT-ADS2000) and Advanced Optical Network Terminal B200 (AONT-B200) for DS1/DS3 services and Integrated Service Element Manager. The first fully supported, product-level release of the ADS2000/B200/ISEM system offers fiber facility service providers an integrated high speed solution for sophisticated, distributed environments in the last mile. These products provide an optical transport alternative for supporting PBX, Channel Bank and Remote Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (R-DSLAM) systems. "Paceon ISEM is the key element needed to provision, monitor and test passive optical network elements from a user friendly GUI and from an operator's OSS," said Bill Shank, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Paceon. "Paceon's ISEM allows our ADS2000 OLT and B200 AONT systems to send and receive provisioning, alarming, and testing information from the operators OSS, delivering the first approved approach to managing PON networks." In a separate release: Paceon today announced that its Advanced Distribution Systems ADS2000 and AONT-B200, have completed the Telcordia Technologies, Inc., OSMINE Services process for the Telcordia(TM) TIRKS(R) System, Telcordia(TM) NMA(R) System, and Telcordia(TM) Transport Element Activation System. As a result, Paceon's solution can be deployed within certain incumbent service providers' existing Telcordia OSSs, leveraging existing personnel and procedures. This ultimately helps to enable the service provider to offer general deployment of ATM based Passive Optical Networks. Most of the U.S. telecommunications networks utilize OSS software developed and maintained by Telcordia. These systems are used by the major local exchange carriers to manage their networks. The OSMINE Services process helps enable network equipment compatibility and interoperability with Telcordia OSSs. Paceon recognized the importance of the OSMINE process early on, committing time and resources to completing the OSMINE process far in advance of the competition. "Our completion of the OSMINE process vastly simplifies the integration of APON into certain service providers' existing networks, eliminating the need for specialized systems, procedures or personnel," said Toshi Kida, director of product management for Paceon. "The completion of this goal reinforces our promise to our customers to lower the difficulty and cost of deploying services over last mile Passive Optical Networks." Paceon Corp.
