ATLANTA , GA, July 25, 2006 – Hitachi Telecom (USA), Inc. today announced that TriNet Communications, Inc. of Livermore, California, has been designated a sales channel for Hitachi’s AMN1220 Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) product family. GPON enables service providers to deliver multiple services, including RF and IP video, high speed data, and voice over a single optical fiber connected directly to the home or business. GPON is an attractive solution for telecommunications service providers wanting to offer triple play services (video, data, voice), and for cable TV Multiple System Operators (MSOs) who are facing bandwidth constraints with the accelerating adoption of high definition TV, or who want to add new revenue sources by offering business services. Hitachi ’s AMN1220 full-rate GPON system operates at 2.4Gbps downstream and 1.2Gbps upstream, providing plenty of bandwidth to deliver multiple simultaneous HDTV streams. Service providers also benefit from the flexibility to provide both RF and IP video services – simultaneously if needed. For enterprise users, the Hitachi AMN1220 supports DS1 services in native format through GPON Encapsulation Mode (GEM), allowing businesses to continue to use customary T1 services and to use existing PBX telephone systems that are connected by T1 on the trunk side. According to Rick Schiavinato, Director of Technical Sales and Marketing at Hitachi Telecom, “TriNet Communications is an award-winning supplier to RBOCs, independent telcos and MSOs. We are pleased to have their extensive experience and breadth of market coverage on our side.” “ Hitachi is one of the few companies with the product line and corporate stability to support the wide range of customer types that we serve”, said Jason Skeoch, TriNet vice president, sales & marketing. “We look forward to offering Hitachi’s advanced GPON solutions throughout our client range.” About Hitachi’s AMN1220 Product Family The AMN1220 FTTP platform is a family of high-performance GPON products that provide ultra high bandwidth communication services to residential, business and institutional subscribers using a single optical fiber direct to the subscriber’s premises. Compliant with ITU-T G.984 standards, the AMN1220 provides data rates of 2.488Gbit/s downstream and 1.244Gbit/s upstream. Standards compliance provides assurance that service providers will have maximum flexibility in implementing FTTP solutions as applications and services are added in the future. Legacy TDM services such as T1 are seamlessly handled in their native formats using GPON Encapsulation Mode (GEM) framing. The AMN1220 consists of a centrally located Optical Line Terminal (OLT) connected via single-mode fiber optic cable to Optical Network Terminals (ONT) at the subscribers’ premises. The OLT is equipped with a hybrid Layer 2/3 + TDM switch fabric for flexible traffic management and consolidation. ONTs include the GST, a single family / small business unit, and the GMT, a configurable multi-dwelling/multi-business ONT. All ONTs can provide a Gigabit Ethernet line rate interface to the subscriber, enabling a wide range of business applications today and providing future proofing for both residential and business networks.
