TeliSwitch Unveils PON Automated ODF (PON-AODF)

PON-AODF saves up to 50% on OLT ports in FTTH/B deployments

KFAR-SABA, Israel, July 23, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    TeliSwitch Solutions (http://www.teliswitch.com) today announced the release of
its patented PON-AODF(TM) that enables dynamic changing of the splitting ratio in Passive
Optical Networks (PON) to be adaptable to service penetration and meeting bandwidth
service demand requirements.

    Currently PON operators compromise between initial vs. anticipated service penetration
rates and meeting future demands for higher bandwidth, typically using splitters with 32
or 64 split ratios. At low penetration rates, this wastes OLT ports, as one port must be
allocated to each splitter even if it serves only a single customer. In addition, the high
split ratio causes a shortage in bandwidth when the demand for higher bandwidth increases.

    Implementing PON-AODF saves operators up to 50% on OLT ports as they are able to
remotely adapt PON splitting ratios to growth, enabling the connection of more homes
without compromising on future bandwidth demand. By installing PON-AODF with the OLT, the
passive optical network is upgraded with adaptive splitting ratio capabilities while
preserving the passive nature of the PON Optical Distribution Network (ODN).

    "TeliSwitch PON-AODF deployment gives service providers the flexibility to install
only as many OLT ports as needed to serve connected homes, saving up to 50% on PON ports,
thus reducing total equipment costs," said Rafi Ben-Atar, co-founder and CEO at TeliSwitch
Solutions. "In addition, our PON-AODF reduces overall OPEX by making optical
infrastructure remotely manageable, thereby minimizing human interventions and errors."

    About PON-AODF

    PON-AODF(TM) is an automated ODF enhanced with adaptive splitting capabilities that
upgrades Passive Optical Networks (PONs) to be adaptable to service penetration and
bandwidth demand changes. PON-AODF offers optical performance identical to that of high
quality passive ODFs and preserves optical links during power loss or maintenance. The
life expectancy of its optical module is similar to typical optical infrastructure life
spans. Remote service provisioning and remote network testing are also among its benefits.

    About TeliSwitch Solutions

    In developing the automated optical distribution frame (AODF(TM)) family based on its
patented opto-mechatronics architecture, TeliSwitch Solutions answers the challenge of
automating fiber switching at layer-0 of communication networks without compromising on
optical performance. TeliSwitch's AODF product family brings state-of-the-art automated
optical interconnection management capabilities to carrier core backbones, FTTH access
networks, and data centers. For more information, please visit us at
