EMCORE Begins Customer Sampling of New OBI Mitigated RFoG Optical Networking Unit Transceiver
RFoG technology provides cable Multiple Service Operators (MSOs) the ability to offer a Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) type architecture without changes to standard equipment in the headend or central office. As subscriber density increases, however, OBI signal degradation can present challenges to overall system performance. EMCORE's RFoG ONU transceiver overcomes those obstacles by eliminating the effects of OBI through proprietary upstream laser wavelength management, significantly improving RFoG network performance in high-density customer environments.
EMCORE's RFoG ONU transceiver is compliant with the SCTE (Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers) RF over Glass specification. It is designed to support standard CATV downstream and upstream transmission bands for voice, video and data signals in single family and multiple-dwelling unit applications. Downstream it receives a 1550 nm forward path optical signal carrying an RF cable television spectrum up to 1.2 GHz, making it compatible with the cable industry's DOCSIS 3.1 standard. For return path, it supports digital upstream transmission operating at 1610 nm that supports a 5-85 MHz spectrum.
"The interest level in our OBI mitigated RFoG ONU following its announcement at ANGACOM has been tremendous," said Gyo Shinozaki, Vice President of Marketing for EMCORE. "Key customers are excited to sample the unit for qualification within their systems. The combination of OBI mitigation and an economically compelling solution make this an attractive option for RFoG."
