ARRIS announced that
Trinity Communications, a cable operator based in South Pittsburgh,
TN, has launched digital voice, video and high-speed data
triple play service through an ARRIS FTTMax RF over Glass
(RFoG) all fiber network to Marion and Sequatchie County,
TN.
Major components of the RFoG deployment include the ARRIS
CORWave II multi wavelength forward transmitters, FTTMax RFoG
Optical Network Units (ONU) at the customer premises, and
the TransMax RFoG Repeater for Optical Amplification of RFoG
wavelengths. When completed, the deployment will offer triple
play services to approximately 3,000 homes and businesses,
spanning over 200 miles of fiber optic plant.
RFOG is a cost-effective way to supply DOCSIS-based triple
play services over an all fiber network to businesses, community
hubs and residences in low-density areas due to the reduced
outside plant maintenance and lower power consumption. It
also provides a foundation for future technologies such as
EPON. RFoG combines the best of RF and passive optical network
(PON) technologies, enabling cable operators to use their
existing headend infrastructure, current provisioning systems
and CPE devices.
“We selected the ARRIS CORWave and RFoG solutions because
of their proven reliability, and to meet our capital and operational
budgetary needs,” said Trinity Communications President
James Gee. “In our system, population density is low
and spread out so the RFoG cost model and return on investment
is very attractive to us. Once the backbone is in place, we
can simply drop a fiber to the residential or small business
customer, install the RFoG ONU and they’re set.”
“We are very pleased to be working with Jim Gee and his
great team at Trinity Communications,” said ARRIS Access
and Transport VP of Product Management Larry Richards. “Operators
of any size can depend on ARRIS for converged voice, video
and data solutions using high speed optical transmission solutions.”
