The Look Ahead
Optimized InnovationWelcome to Zhone's inaugural issue of Zhone InSight. In addition to Zhone milestones, this quarterly update is designed to keep you -- our valued customers -- informed of key market developments while providing resources that will help you thrive in reaching your own performance and service goals. The year to date at Zhone has involved a number of important and positive changes with a focus on structuring the company and team for long-term optimized innovation. In literal terms, optimized innovation means perfecting the act of introducing something new, and I use the two words together very deliberately. Milestones and Growth AheadOur vision for access technology is about helping you succeed by making service differentiation easier -- supporting multiple new services like IPTV or business Ethernet along with your traditional voice and data offerings on a single architecture saves you capital and operating costs and ensures fast, agile response to end-user demand for new services. More and more of you are sharing the vision of multi-service integration and working to bring it to life in your networks. The industry analyst firm, Infonetics Research, expects more than 30 million MSAP ports will be installed this year worldwide. We're seeing the acceleration of MSAP-based network transitions and new deployment plans in every region of the world. ZhoneTech 2008

Zhone Expands EFM Portfolio"Zhone's EFM loop bonding portfolio is one of the broadest and deepest in the industry…"
Teresa Mastrangelo, Principal Analyst Current Analysis Perspective: "Positive on Zhone's announcements of expanded EoC aggregation technologies and a customer endorsement by Saudi Telecom Company (STC), because they further propel Zhone's single-platform value proposition into the growing EoC market. With multi-megabit fiber access available to less than 14% of U.S. and global businesses, EFM loop bonding technologies provide a lower-cost alternative to meet medium-bandwidth Ethernet demand for 10-45 Mbps services, especially in frame relay-to-Ethernet migration opportunities."
Yoav Schreiber, Senior Analyst, Broadband Infrastructure Fiber-like capacity, combined with fast, easy provisioning and the ubiquity of entrenched copper, are making EFM loop bonding one of the hottest growth technologies in telecommunications today. Zhone recently introduced three new high-density EFM/EOC SHDSL.bis line cards for the MALC and expanded its line of EtherXtend™ Ethernet Access Devices. Read the release This product announcement was accompanied by news that Saudi Telecom Company (TASI: STC) selected Zhone's standards-based EFM as the premiere platform for the world's largest EFM network build of its kind.

In an Age of Outsourcing and Off-shoring Zhone Opts to Bolster Manufacturing on the Home FrontIn a manufacturing climate where niche start-ups emphasize market agility and innovation, and larger vendors offer product breadth and the insurance of an established company, Zhone's goal is to unite the best of both worlds. Zhone recently consolidated manufacturing into the Zhone/Paradyne plant, a 125-thousand-square-foot facility based in Largo, Florida. Zhone now manufactures, tests, and ships virtually all of Zhone's products directly from the Largo facility. FYIPartner News
