BroadLight Unveils 2.5 Gbps GPONs, 1:64 Split BroadLight unveiled its end-to-end solution for gigabit-capacity, passive optical networks (GPONs). The end-to-end GPON (E2E GPON) features Broadlight's BL2000 GPON System-on-Chip (SoC) for cost-focused ONT applications and also includes PONmaker software, OLT MAC, OLT and ONT transceivers. Key features will include 2.5 Gbps PON performance, 1:64 split ratio, and native transport of both Ethernet and TDM, which is delivered at up to 155 Mbps using GPON Encapsulated Mode (GEM). "BroadLight is 100% focused on PON and has been extensively involved with the FSAN ITU-T initiatives for developing GPON," said Didi Ivancovsky, founder and VP of Products for BroadLight. The company anticipates the BL2000 family will be less than $20 for high volume quantities. E2E GPON products will be available for sample by December 2005. About E2E GPON BL3000 family of OLT MAC FPGAs with interfaces to support GEM based transport of Gigabit Ethernet and TDM. Features include: configurable AES, Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA). PONmaker ITU-T G.984 software stacks for OLT and ONT provides control and management of the PON. OLT Transceivers designed with a glueless interface to BroadLight's GPON MAC. ONT SFF MSA compliant Transceivers with 2 wavelengths for all IP services and a 3-wavelength Transceiver module with embedded RF video receiver based on BroadLight's proven CATV over PON technology.
