Business Description

We design, develop and manufacture communications network equipment for telephone companies and cable operators worldwide. We believe that these network service providers can increase their revenues and lower their operating costs by using our products to deliver video and interactive entertainment services in addition to their existing voice and data service offerings, all on a platform that permits a seamless migration from legacy technologies to a converged packet-based architecture. Our Single Line Multi-Service (SLMS) architecture provides cost efficiency and feature flexibility with support for voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and IP video (IPTV). Within this SLMS architecture, our products allow service providers to deliver all of these converged packet services over their existing copper lines while providing support for fiber build-out. Our optical transport products complement our SLMS architecture by providing flexible, low-cost, additional capacity over existing fiber. As service providers expand their broadband service offerings, our optical transport products allow them to alleviate bandwidth bottlenecks in their fiber based transport networks. With our products, network service providers can seamlessly migrate from traditional circuit-based technology to packet-based networks, and from copper-based access lines to fiber-based access lines without abandoning the investments they have made in their existing infrastructures.
