Sumitomo Electric Networks Releases a GE-PON Device"MegaBit Gear FSU6200"


Sumitomo Electric Networks and Sumitomo Electric Industries have jointly developed a GE-PON device"MegaBit Gear FSU6200" and a subscriber's terminal "MegaBit Gear FTE6050" that provides data transfer rates of maximum 1 Gbps and divides the fiber into maximum 32 households to allow them to share the fiber optics and started the sale to carriers in December, 2004.


MegaBit Gear FSU6200 (OLT) is a GE-PON*1 device that is compliant with IEEE802.3ah standard*2 and allows Internet connection of maximum 1 Gbps. Sumitomo Electric Networks' broad band access technologies, abundant experience, and the cutting-edge optical device technologies as a manufacturer of ADSL/VDSL devices are blended in this product.

Major features of this product is as follows:
I. Provides ultrawideband services of maximum 1 Gbps cheaply regardless of the distance between the telephone exchange and subscriber's house.

This system allows a "shared" service, where one fiber optics is laid near subscribers' households and divided to connect maximum 32 subscribers, so the connection cost is considerably reduced compared with "occupied" service where one fiber optics connects one telephone exchange and one subscriber.

Not like ADSL, the transfer rates do not attenuate regardless of the distance between the telephone exchange and subscriber's house, so an ultrawideband service can be provided even when the distance between the telephone exchange and subscriber's house is longer than 20 km. In addition, Maximum 1 Gbps of ultrawideband service can be realized at best effort when only one household is using the service.
II. Satisfying security
MegaBit Gear FSU6200 is equipped with a terminal authentication capability so that it can be used in public network. This capability allows providing services customized for each subscriber. In addition, the communication data is encrypted, so the data is in no danger of wiretapping by other subscribers who share the fiber optics.
III. Advanced bandwidth control capability
To efficiently control the bandwidth with low delay, the hardware DBA*3 function is adopted. This allows high-quality provision of the state of the art applications such as IP telephone and movie distribution even when the traffic is congested.
IV. Highly reliable fiber optics is adopted
To realize high-speed communication in a shared access network with fiber optics, we have improved our DFB-LD*4 to have higher output for this system and adopted APD*5 as the photo acceptance unit to realize stable communication.
We continue to contribute to development of broadband services through product development that responds to subscribers' needs.
