The solutions delivered in the Zhone FiberHome rollout provide VDSL2 and Active Ethernet connectivity in the last mile in a 1U
form factor to extend network reach and deliver cost-efficiency benefits that exceed those of competitive solutions. In addition,
Zhone also delivers multi-service capability including integrated VoIP functionality. Zhone’s high-speed CTTP solution is based
on VDSL2 30a and enables up to 100Mbps symmetrical connectivity in areas where fiber is cost prohibitive. In these cases, as an
end-to-end solution, Zhone offers VDSL2 CPE and Central Office (CO) products to provide high-speed, long reach and low cost
solutions for multi-dwelling units (MDUs), remote terminals and CO deployments. In the cases where fiber can be extended
cost-effectively, Zhone FiberHome provides Active Ethernet connectivity to enable wire-speed ETTP connectivity.
Complementary to Zhone’s market-leading MXK™ Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and Multi-Service Access Node (MSAN) and zNID™
Optical Network Terminal (ONT) portfolio of products, the Zhone FiberHome portfolio includes:
