Cortina takes PON integration to next level with voice and switching

SUNNYVALE, USA: Cortina Systems Inc. (Cortina), delivering innovative technologies that link people and networks worldwide, announced the newest additions, CS8017 EPON ONU, CS8210 GPON ONU, and CS8022 OLT, to its Integrated Access platform, a comprehensive technology development suite for the access network.

Cortina continues to work with systems providers to optimize network cost on both ends of the fiber through integration. As part of Integrated Access Platform, Cortina Systems CS8017/CS8210 ONUs are consolidated EPON/GPON ONU solutions with integrated VoIP processors and Ethernet switches.

Cortina Systems CS8022 OLT is the 2nd generation quad EPON OLT with integrated switch. To enable fast time to market, these devices include a device driver, software applications, operating systems, and reference designs.

“As access subscribers continue to grow dramatically, worldwide carriers need integrated PON solutions to enhance their offerings on both sides of the fiber,” said Fred Olsson, Director, Access Business Unit at Cortina. “By using Cortina’s PON chipsets, service providers can simplify their OLT line cards as well as provide a low cost, integrated solution for all ONU configurations including voice.”

As technology shifts to keep up with the higher bandwidth demands of revenue generating services such as IPTV, video on demand, VoIP, online gaming and ultra-broadband internet access, service providers are looking to implement either EPON or GPON solutions.

Cortina’s Integrated Access platform is delivering complete first and next generation GPON/EPON solutions for the evolution of fiber access from the installed copper and coax infrastructure. The Integrated Access platform provides a complete solution, enabling carriers to offer the next generation, bandwidth intensive services over the access network.
