| Growing triple-play service provider leverages MXK to offer high speed television and voice services to multi-tenant residential properties throughout the U.S. |
Oakland, CA, Aug 30, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global leader in FTTx network access solutions, today announced a new MXK(TM) deployment with Access Media 3 (AM3), a rapidly growing triple-play service provider to multi-tenant residential properties in the Chicago, Georgia, Minneapolis/St. Paul, South Florida, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington D.C. markets.
As connectivity demands increase in the multi-unit dwelling market, the flexibility and scalability of the Zhone MXK platform is sought after by service providers across the globe to meet the demand of these unique customers. DSL is not fast enough to support the integration of home services such as high speed internet, television and video-on-demand. As a result, many service providers, like AM3, are turning to very-high-bit rate DSL (VDSL) to provide residents with complete home communications and entertainment packages. AM3 selected Zhone's MXK platform to help meet the challenge of providing multi-tenant property owners and property managers with greater choice of internet, video and voice bundles to choose from.
"AM3 provides high speed internet, television and voice services to more than 500 properties," says Vito Caragiulo, senior vice president of technology for AM3. "Providing service to more than 50,000 subscribers requires reliability and excellent support. VDSL provides an incredible amount of bandwidth-with speeds up to 52 megabits per second (Mbps)-which supports our triple-play services. We turned to Zhone for this deployment because their solutions are flexible, reliable and cost-effective. The products are stable, easy to operate and easy to deploy."
"The ability of the MXK to provide connectivity in facilitating service upgrades to FTTx has been repeatedly demonstrated in similar projects throughout the United States," says Brian Caskey, chief marketing officer for Zhone. "Zhone's success in building the telecom industry's most comprehensive portfolio of scalable FTTx solutions is a direct reflection of the reliability of our products and the value provided to our customers. The MXK helps empower our customers to deliver the newest high speed services to their subscribers."
The number of MXK platform deployments has more than doubled since Q2 2011, expanding from approximately 1,500 systems to more than 3,650, generating a total subscriber capacity of 27 million. In Q2 2012, alone, Zhone shipped more than 400 MXKs. Featuring industry-leading density, scalability and switching capacity, the MXK is the industry's first terabit access concentrator and provides non-blocking capacity of up to 3,600 100 Mbps GPON subscribers or 360 1G Active Ethernet subscribers. Zhone's ONT deployment growth has also grown more than 9,500 percent since Q1 2009.
