FREMONT, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/15/14 — . (NASDAQ: IKAN), a leading provider of advanced broadband semiconductor and software products for the connected home, today announced that FiberHome has adopted its Velocity-3 vectoring chipsets to drive significantly higher data rates as a key differentiating feature in its suite of industry-leading, high-performance MSAN/MDUs (Multi-Service Access Node / Multi-Dwelling Unit). FiberHome, a leading product manufacturer and solution provider for information technology and telecommunications throughout Asia, is beginning to deploy the Velocity-3 chipset in its AN5000 series MSAN/MDU products, targeted to be used by carriers and service providers in and beyond China to deliver high-speed broadband access.
FiberHome is a leader in the optical communication industry in China, with more than 30 percent market share in the infrastructures of China Telecom and China Unicom, the world–s largest broadband carriers. FiberHome–s products have been exported to more than 80 countries worldwide, with a strong presence in Latin America and Asia. The company–s flagship AN5000 series MSAN/MDU has been widely deployed, providing DSL service as the last-mile access with fiber feed. Upgrading the systems to higher-speed vectored VDSL2 with faster uplinks enables FiberHome to capture the broadband momentum in China and all of its target regions.
“Our partnership with Ikanos ushers in a new generation of high-performance, highly scalable broadband systems as we expand our industry-leading portfolio of high-speed access solutions,” said Mr. Xiong WeiCheng, Director of Access Network Product Line, at FiberHome. “The power and flexibility of Ikanos silicon architecture, combined with our market-leading access network technology, allows FiberHome to deliver differentiated solutions enabling carriers to seamlessly migrate to even higher performance while defying cost escalation in their broadband networks.”
Velocity-3–s scalable architecture is designed to support a wide range of node sizes, with a high-end system reaching up to 384 lines of vectored VDSL2. Powered by the innovative Ikanos chipset, the FiberHome AN5006-20/30 can achieve up to 110Mbps downstream bandwidth at 500 meters using Ikanos– patented Velocity-3 NodeScale vectoring technology. Its highly scalable architecture can power a range of configurations and port counts in hybrid-fiber-copper access networks. The Velocity-3 architecture enables simple field upgrades of deployed equipment, allowing carriers to build on China–s existing, proven broadband access infrastructure, and to simplify network maintenance and service upgrades post-deployment.
“FiberHome is among the top network equipment manufacturers in the world–s largest telecom market, and is in the forefront of OEMs that drive the technology adoption curve,” said Kourosh Amiri, vice president of marketing at Ikanos. “The pace of change in broadband networks has never been greater, as OEMs and carriers feel the pressure to build faster networks, quenching consumer demand for bandwidth. We–re proud to count FiberHome, one of the world–s leading broadband innovators, as a partner and a customer.”
