BroadLight Intros BL2340

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- After securing 25 design wins for its first generation E2E GPON products, BroadLight, Inc., today announced the BL2340 GPON ONT solution targeting the high-performance multi-dwelling unit (MDU) and multi-tenant unit (MTU) applications. The BL2340 is sampling today and is the first chip to offer the sustained packet performance necessary to support multiple IPTV & HDTV streams and high-speed Internet access by multiple subscribers, from a single ONT.

“Once again, BroadLight has demonstrated flawless product execution by delivering yet another GPON product before most competitors delivered their first,” said Andrew Vought, CEO of BroadLight. “This ability to meet demand has put us in the lead position for GPON design wins with our first product release and we anticipate the same level of success with the BL2340.”

“The MDU and MTU is the first market for GPON in Asia and Europe” added Didi Ivancovsky, VP Marketing. “Leveraging off the success of the BL2338 for the Single Family Unit (SFU) market, we were able to optimize the design and allow our customers to develop MDU and MTU solutions with the same software platform.”

“The ability to deliver simultaneous sustained bandwidth to multiple subscribers that can scale easily over time is absolutely critical for service providers as they roll out IPTV and triple-play services to their MTU and MDU-based customers,” said Jeff Heynen, Directing Analyst of Broadband and IPTV for Infonetics Research. “BroadLight’s BL2340 GPON ONT on a chip delivers a comprehensive package that equipment manufacturers need to successfully address the burgeoning GPON MTU and MDU markets in Asia and Europe.”
