EMCORE to Introduce New OBI Mitigated Radio Frequency over Glass Optical Networking Unit Transceiver at ANGACOM 2017
May 24 2017 - 9:20AM
EMCORE Corporation (NASDAQ:EMKR), a leading provider of advanced
Mixed-Signal Optics products that provide the foundation for
today’s high-speed communication network infrastructures and
leading-edge defense systems, announced today the introduction of
its revolutionary new Radio Frequency over Glass (RFoG) Optical
Networking Unit (ONU) Transceiver. EMCORE’s RFoG ONU is an OBI
(Optical Beat Interference) mitigated design utilizing the
Company’s breakthrough Linear Externally Modulated Laser (L-EMLTM).
EMCORE will debut is new RFoG ONU at ANGACOM 2017 in hall 8, booth
#Q60 at the Cologne Congress Center, Cologne, Germany from May 30 –
June 1.
RFoG technology enables cable operators to offer a
Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) type architecture without changes to
standard equipment in the headend or central office. The RFoG ONU
resides at the customer’s location and provides the interface
between the optical network and the subscriber coaxial network.
EMCORE’s RFoG ONU Transceiver is designed to support standard
CATV downstream and upstream transmission bands for triple-play
voice, video and data signals in single family and
multiple-dwelling unit applications. Downstream it receives a 1550
nm forward path optical signal carrying an RF cable television
spectrum up to 1.2 GHz, making it compatible with the cable
industry’s DOCSIS 3.1 standard. For return path, it supports
digital upstream transmission utilizing an L-EMLTM transmitter
operating at 1610 nm that supports a 5-85 MHz spectrum. EMCORE's
RFoG ONU is compliant with the SCTE (Society of Cable
Telecommunications Engineers) RF over Glass specification.
“We are very excited to bring to market our new RFoG ONU and
introduce it at ANGACOM this year,” said Jeffrey Rittichier,
President and CEO of EMCORE. “This exciting new product
introduction will significantly improve RFoG network performance in
high-density customer environments by virtually eliminating the
effects of OBI. Units will begin to ship soon to select cable MSOs
with production expected to ramp-up over the coming months,” added
Rittichier.
EMCORE’s RFoG achieves OBI mitigation through proprietary
upstream laser wavelength management. It features 6KV surge
withstand on all coax ports, less than 1.0 μs upstream laser
activation/deactivation time with low idle state power usage, and
is UL, EMC and FCC part 15B compliant.
