Press ReleaseZhone Introduces New Bitstorm IP DSLAMs for Multi-Stream HD over CopperZhone's Enhanced Cross Talk Management Paired with Media Optimized Processing Provides Up to 100 Mbps Symmetrical Bandwidth Over Single-Pair Copper
Oakland, CA — August 26, 2008 —
Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global leader in multi-service
access solutions, today introduced two new IP DSLAMs for VDSL2 and ADSL2+ for
single or bonded-pair copper.
Bitstorm HP 100/100 for Multi-Stream HD and Immersion Video over Copper
Based on the newest media-optimized VDSL2 chipsets, Bitstorm HP is designed
expressly for multi-stream high-definition, and immersion game media, where
bandwidth demands are intense and quality-of-service demands are
uncompromising. Optimized for cross talk management at distances up to 5,000
feet, Bitstorm HP provides the maximum bandwidth available over single-pair
copper today. Bitstorm HP is a 1 Rack Unit (RU), environmentally hardened
platform, ideal for basement Multi Tenant Units (MTUs) and outdoor cabinets.
Bitstorm HP also fully supports customer premises equipment (CPE) for 25 Mbps
services at distances up to 10,000 feet.
"The Bitstorm VDSL2 and bonded ADSL2+ platforms further broaden FTTx
delivery options for our customers," said Steven Glapa, Zhone's vice
president of product management and marketing. "Bitstorm is a direct
response to customer requests for plug and play HD multi-play provisioning in
a small, cost efficient form factor."
"Zhone's VDSL2 platform offers network operators a low cost entry
into delivering fiber performance media over copper," said Martin Sten
Managing Director for Netmedia Finland. "In addition to being optimized
for multi-stream HD, Bitstorm HP is simple to install and power and space
efficient with full ADSL2+ support. Zhone has addressed all of the customer
needs at an extremely attractive price point."
Bitstorm RP for Maximum Flexibility in ADSL2+ Deployments
Bitstorm RP is a high-density 1.5 RU IP/Ethernet DSLAM designed for best in
class performance and low overhead operations. A code extension of the popular
Zhone/Paradyne DSLAM series, Bitstorm RP provides field proven performance
with a state-of-the-art feature set including ADSL2+ bonding, built in
splitters and dual Gig E and far end uplink ports. Other new features include
hot-swap servicing and single click configuration with automatic line
recognition. Bitstorm RP supports bridged mode or advanced layer operations
for premium Quality of Service (QoS) smart home or business applications.
"We chose Bitstorm RP because of our past success with the Zhone/Paradyne
4200 series and we needed a new ADSL2+ product with higher density that would
allow for easy installation and management and a large pipe for an
uplink," said Stacey Rose of Tidewater Telecom. "Bitstorm RP fit all
of our requirements at the right price. As an outstanding bonus, it offers
bonding and Layer 3 support for our business customers that require more that
simple DSL."
Both Bitstorm platforms are standards-based for interoperability and
performance certified with a broad range of VDSL2 and ADSL2+ CPE. Bitstorm HP
is rate/reach certified at 100/100 Mbps (VDSL2 30a) with Zhone's 6652 CPE
series. Zhone's Bitstorm VDSL platform is also available in a 100 Mbps
downstream and 50 Mbps upstream configuration (VDSL2 17a). Changes and
upgrades are performed remotely via a single-click Web interface or
Zhone's Management System (ZMS) with Multimedia Traffic Management for
tiered service guarantees.
