Precision OT intros GPON line

Precision OT has introduced a line of SFP GPON transceivers and splitters for telcos and multiple systems operators (MSOs) to deploy fiber-deep network architectures such as fiber-to-the-X (FTTX).

"The reality about 5G and other transformative technologies is that they rely heavily on the density of fiber-optic cables within existing access networks," said Chris Page, CTO of Precision OT. "As we have seen, GPON is a key steppingstone for MSOs to provide the high bandwidth, high performance services their subscribers are demanding. Going this route helps save both CAPEX and OPEX by replacing legacy copper wires with more efficient fiber-optic cables and eliminating the need for expensive network switches. Designed and tested to the same rigorous standards as all our other equipment, our new line of GPON optics and our multiplexer/demultiplexer filter model will make it easier for our customers to evolve their access networks on an ongoing basis."

All of Precision OT's GPON optics are bidirectional, support transmission distances between 20 km and 40 km and are resilient for both commercial and industrial temperatures.
