(RTTNews) - Source Photonics Inc., a unit of MRV Communications Inc. (MRVC.PK), unveiled the CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) GPON OLT and ONT product family.

Source Photonics CWDM GPON OLT and ONT provide an alternative cost-effective solution to expand the total capacity to 10Gb/s or beyond in gigabit passive optical networks (GPON). It is based on the existing mature GPON technology using multiple CWDM channels to expand the total capacity in the single fiber.

The CWDM provides a flexible network architecture and pay-as-you-go service providers, enabling increased bandwidth from 2.5Gb/s to 12.5Gb/s downstream and from 1.25Gb/s to 6.25Gb/s upstream.

The CWDM GPON transceivers are compliant with the existing GPON ITU standard G.984.2.The CWDM GPON products are sampling now and are expected to be fully released for production in early 2011.
