Cable Bahamas launches Fiber-to-the- Premise technology

Monday, February 2, 2004

STATE COLLEGE, USA: Cable Bahamas Ltd. has selected C-COR.net Corp.'s FTTmaX platform for a field trial of Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) technology supporting voice, video, and data services to its Bahamian subscribers. 

"Cable Bahamas has been using fiber extensively for many years and provides a fully functional two-way network delivering video and high-speed data services," reports André Foster, vice president of Information Technology at Cable Bahamas. 

"Deploying a customer premise device that can deliver the triple play of services--voice, video, and data--over a single strand of fiber on a passive network has always been Cable Bahamas' vision. We are excited about working with C-COR to test and deploy this technology," he adds.

C-COR's FTTmaX is an end-to-end fiber solution that provides high-capacity bandwidth as well as a simpler, more efficient, and less expensive network access for transporting voice, video, and data to the home or business over fiber-optic networks. 

By sending point-to-multipoint signals through a distributed topology of fiber-optic cables and passive splitters, PON technology taps into the higher-bandwidth capacity of fiber for the local loop, while using passive devices to eliminate the maintenance and installation costs of active electronics.
