Residential Multiplay

Zhone has long been a pioneer in the industry with its broadband and multi-service access solution offerings. Zhone is at the forefront of technology innovation today, with large-scale global deployments of its high-capacity FTTx multi-service systems including the MXK, MALC and zNID ONTs which are designed to provide high performance and cost-effective solutions for the operator’s bandwidth requirements.

With the rapidly increasing levels of personalization and interactivity in communication and entertainment today for residential and business users, the need for fiber networks has become imperative to meet the exponentially growing bandwidth requirements. GPON has today become the preferred fiber access technology due to its technical and performance advantages and its overall total cost of ownership (TCO) benefits over other technologies. In addition, GPON provides a smooth and cost-effective migration to next-generation 10G technology which is poised to drastically improve the user experience. Active Ethernet, providing 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps point-to-point connectivity, is another high-bandwidth access technology alternative that is rapidly improving the user experience today.

Multiple screens, multiple users and multiple types of access in every home in every part of the world today is making the service provider's task of predicting bandwidth needs and bandwidth utilization very difficult. User needs are compounding the problems for the service providers and the new generation of users demand high degree of unicast traffic. Unicast traffic exponentially adds to the complexity for the service providers as home users are transcending national, cultural and age boundaries like never before. Social networking is a recent but long-lasting trend and adding to the complexity even more.

Our customers are looking for solutions to solve their bandwidth and access network needs today with a view to the future. Zhone's MXK is the industry's 1st Terabit Access Concentrator, providing the industry’s leading density, throughput and switching capacity. The MXK is a fully redundant, carrier-grade All IP platform enabling Multi-Service Terabit access solutions from the Edge to the Core of the service provider’s network, with seamless and integrated support for multiple technologies including GPON, Active Ethernet, VDSL2, ADSL2+, EFM, PWE and POTS today. The MXK, which has been designed for high scalability, flexibility and superior performance has the added benefit of being the solution for the future.

Our customers deploying MXK today can meet today’s bandwidth needs and provide investment protection for the future. Built on 480 Gbps pure IP core switching and 4.6 Terabit total system switching capacity, the MXK allows for high bandwidth capable GPON and Active Ethernet services to be provisioned on the same system. Ultrahigh bandwidth with standards-based 10G GPON will be enabled on the same MXK system. Our customers deploying MXK today are investing in a future-proof system with the added advantage of an industry-leading end-to-end offering of the MXK MSAN and OLT, a portfolio of zNID ONTs and ZMS management system, all designed for the high performance requirements of our 750 and fast-growing global service provider customer base.
