Chatsworth, CA –– Source Photonics Inc. , a leading provider of optical communication products used in telecommunication systems and data communication networks, today announces the Next Generation PON (NG-PON) OLT and NG-PON ONU transceiver product family.

   As the industry looks towards the next-generation access network technologies to support increasing bandwidth requirements in the last mile, Source Photonics today announces availability of complete end-to-end solutions for NG-PON deployments operating at 10Gbps. The transceiver product family includes a 10Gb/s EPON triplexer OLT in XFP form-factor. The OLT is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3av-2009 standard for PRX30 interfaces, as well as IEEE 802.3-2008 1000Base-PX20. Relying on Source Photonics established integration technology, the OLT transceiver includes dual downstream transmitters operating at 10Gb/s and 1Gb/s, respectively, to provide a flexible upgrade path where 10G EPON and 1G EPON can co-exist in one PON network.

The OLT product family also includes a fully compliant 10Gb/s ITU-T G.987.2 (XGPON) transceiver based supporting the N1 power budget with 10Gb/s downstream bandwidth and 2.5Gb/s upstream.

   On the ONU side, the product offering includes 10GEPON transceivers in SFP+ form-factor compliant to the IEEE 802.3av-2009 PRX30 standard. The ONU transceivers support the full industrial temperature range, and features fast sleep-power functionality. This feature enables energy efficiency without impacting the normal operation of the communication link. The XGPON ONU version supports ITU-T G.987.2 N1 and N2 power budgets and is also available in temperature hardened version for outdoor installations.

   The 10GEPON triplexer OLT and Industrial temperature 10GEPON/XG-PON ONU products are shipping in small volume now, with mass production in the second quarter of 2011.

With the new products, Source Photonics offers the complete end-to-end solution for next generation broadband access networks, building on an industry-leading position in current GPON, BPON, and EPON deployments globally.
