Press ReleaseZhone Builds on Fiber Momentum, Solidifies Position as a Leading Global GPON Vendor among Industry ExpertsOver 600 MXK systems shipped to more than 100 global service providers, demonstrating technology strength of Zhone’s MXK OLT and zNID ONT fiber access solutionsOakland, CA — September 28, 2010 — Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global pioneer in FTTx network access solutions, continued to recognize worldwide market gains for its Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) solutions in the second quarter of 2010 as North American operators broke ground on stimulus-funded broadband projects and service providers in regions such as the Nordics and the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) made significant new investments in fiber upgrades to support the increased bandwidth demands of advanced triple-play services. The impact of Zhone's GPON market growth and overall industry leadership is substantiated by Zhone's recent ranking status with leading market analyst firms Broadband Trends, Infonetics Research and Dittberner Associates. As of Q2 2010, Zhone was recognized as the: a) #3 (tied) vendor WORLDWIDE for GPON revenue for rolling 4-quarters (3Q 2009 - 2Q 2010) Source: BROADBANDTRENDS b) #1 vendor in the CALA region for GPON ports for 2Q 2010 Source: DITTBERNER ASSOCIATES c) #2 vendor in the EMEA region for GPON ports for 2Q 2010 Source: INFONETICS RESEARCH d) #4 vendor in the North America region for GPON ports for 2Q 2010 Source: BROADBANDTRENDS & DITTBERNER ASSOCIATES "Zhone has shown continued GPON growth in the past few quarters and has emerged as a leading global vendor for GPON for the past year according to our analysis," explained Teresa Mastrangelo, principal analyst at BroadbandTrends. "Zhone has built a highly reliable and cost-effective solution for the fiber access market and the MXK distinguishes itself in its industry-leading density and scalability." Jeff Heynen, directing analyst for Broadband and Video at Infonetics Research, noted that "Zhone has quickly become a leading player for GPON in the EMEA region and has some leading tier one service providers as its reference accounts. Having a proven and high-performance end-to-end fiber access solution that continues to exceed customer expectations has played a significant role in establishing Zhone as a GPON leader in the region and a player in almost every region of the world, including CALA and North America." Infonetics estimates GPON to be a cumulative $12.7 billion global opportunity from 2009-2014 with a 28.6 percent CAGR, without even factoring the evolution to 10G GPON. Zhone has shipped more than 600 MXK systems total to over 100 service providers globally with a potential capacity to support over 5.5 million FTTH subscribers. Zhone's MXK platform is a fully redundant, carrier-grade all-IP platform and the industry’s first terabit access concentrator. Featuring industry-leading density, scalability and switching capacity, the MXK provides non-blocking capacity of up to 3,600 100 Mbps GPON subscribers or 360 1G Active Ethernet subscribers. "Our market-leading MXK GPON and Active Ethernet solution is showing great momentum globally due to our ability to serve the needs of our customers, which include a diverse range of service providers. Our ability to scale cost-effectively in a single system, provide an industry-leading density offering and improve overall ease of provisioning have gone a long way in solidifying Zhone's mindshare with global service providers," said Brian Caskey, chief marketing officer at Zhone.
