Alloptic Announces Development of 10G EPON Edge 10 Product

From the Fiber to the Home Council meeting, Alloptic, Inc., a
pioneer in the development and deployment of Gigabit Ethernet Passive
Optical Networks (GEPONs), today announced the details of the
company's new Edge 10 platform, the industry's first 10 Gigabit
capable Ethernet-based Passive Optical Network (10G EPON) system.
Supporting both 10G EPON and IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet in the First Mile,
the Edge 10 provides industry leading bandwidth with unmatched per
flow based Quality of Service (QoS). Alloptic plans to begin shipping
the Edge 10 to customers mid 2007.

"By supporting both GE-PON and 10G EPON on a 'blade by blade'
basis, the Edge 10 extends our market leadership position by ensuring
our customers can cost effectively deliver both high densities of Fast
Ethernet and fractional Gigabit Ethernet services for business
applications, while supporting the multiple simultaneous streams of
High Definition time-shifted IPTV - crucial for future residential
deployments," said Shane Eleniak, Vice President of Marketing and
Business Development for Alloptic. "The Edge 10 supports Alloptic's
existing family of ONTs and continues our unparalleled support for the
broadest range of voice, video, data, and security services with
native TDM support, integrated VoIP, optional RF video and a rich set
of Ethernet and IP features."

Designed to NEBS Level 3 standards, the Edge 10 is a modular,
redundant OLT chassis. With an 800 Gbps backplane, advanced packet
processing and per flow QoS, 8 port GE-PON and 2 port 10G EPON line
cards and multiport 10 GE uplink cards, it provides unmatched
capabilities for meeting ever-increasing customer bandwidth demands.

Alloptic is an industry leader in the development and deployment
of IEEE Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GEPON) technology.
Alloptic's access network solution has been deployed around the world
and offers the only GEPON solution with four years of field hardened,
operational history. The Alloptic solution leverages a standard ITU
PON architecture, while delivering a gigabit of bandwidth. With a
native ability to support traditional TDM voice over an Ethernet-based
platform, Alloptic is able to provide today's worry free telephone
services while seamlessly supporting next generation services like IP
HDTV.
