The offering combines gigabit-per-second access over fiber networks with in-home distribution to multimedia and computing appliances over coaxial cables and phone lines with guaranteed quality of service (QoS).
"Fiber to the home (FTTH) and building (FTTB) are being deployed widely with the new ITU-T G.984 GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) standard," says Gabi Hilevitz, CopperGate's CEO. "With over 25 GPON design wins, BroadLight is an excellent partner for a joint reference design which will enable ONT OEMs to develop cost-effective equipment that utilizes the massive amount of data transmitted to the residence over the fiber technology."
