Oct. 3, 2006 — NeoPhotonics Corp. of San Jose, Calif., announced it is introducing its next-generation line of GPON transceivers, compliant with the ITU-T G.984.2 Class B+ standard, to augment its portfolio of FTTx Biplexer and Triplexer modules.

The new line includes both a biplexer and a triplexer module for fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) customer premises equipment and a biplexer module for the central office or optical line termina.

The triplexer module includes an integrated high end video receiver which meets stringent requirements, such as class leading CNR performance at low optical input levels down to -8 dBm, combined with low distortion levels at full channel loading.

In addition, the device supports high RF output power levels, adheres to stringent range and tilt specifications and comes with either RF connector or RF pins. The module also features a microprocessor and supports advanced monitoring and control functions to enhance overall network performance. Together the CPE and OLT devices provide a complete solution to GPON system manufacturers.

NeoPhotonics Corp. is a developer and manufacturer of advanced integrated optical modules and subsystems designed to improve the performance and lower the costs associated with backbone and access optical networks. They integrate active and passive components enabled nanomaterials and nanoscale design and fabrication technologies.
