CALIFORNIA: Korea Telecom has launched a new deployment of DWDM PON technology from Novera Optics with advanced OAM (Operation, Administration and Maintenance) features. The new deployment will support Korea Telecom's broadband subscribers, and increase the total number of Novera-supported Korea Telecom lines to more than 100,000.
Novera Optics' DWDM transport technologies are being deployed by Korea Telecom for Internet and data services through Novera's SpeedLIGHT™ platform.
"Korea Telecom's deployment of additional lines shows their confidence in our DWDM technology," said Bernd Hesse, vice president of marketing and business development at Novera Optics. "In the last year and a half they have deployed over 100,000 lines over a SpeedLIGHT transport platform. During that period, our technology has proven its ability to provide Korea Telecom's customers with the bandwidth they need. In addition, the platform is scalable and offers an easy upgrade path to meet their customers' needs in the future."
Implementing DWDM PON point-to-point bidirectional optical links through a single feeder fiber, SpeedLIGHT provides Korea Telecom with an easy upgrade path, symmetrical bandwidth (downstream and upstream), and multiprotocol transparency for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) applications.
As a transport platform for fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) deployments, SpeedLIGHT greatly improves the ability of service providers to deliver the bandwidth their customers need now and in the future. Using Novera Optics λ-PON™ (Lambda-PON) DWDM FTTx technology, SpeedLIGHT eliminates the need for expensive, wavelength-specific optical network units (ONUs) and does away with the problems of bandwidth sharing, bandwidth upgrades, and mixed-service delivery on a passive optical network (PON).
