"Our partnership combines the market's most mature GPON silicon with the substantial and comprehensive OMCI management software suite," adds Ming Lee Gee, vice president of sales and marketing at OpenCon Systems. "Working closely together, our OMCI package has been seamlessly integrated with BroadLight's BL2000 and BL3000 family of GPON processors to offer an easy-to-use and field proven design."
