HSIN-CHU, Taiwan and CHATSWORTH, Calif., March 1, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- LuminentOIC, a leading supplier of metro & access transceivers and Fiber-to-the-Premise solutions, and a wholly owned subsidiary of MRV Communications, Inc. (MRVC, Trade) today announced that the Company has surpassed the half million milestone for shipments of integrated triplexer transceivers. As the industry's leader in BPON ONT transceivers for the North American market, LuminentOIC is the first company to bring triplexer transceivers to mass production.
"Before this deployment there had been a lot of speculation as to whether this kind of optical device could be built reliably and with the volumes necessary for a residential consumer application. Over half a million units shipped with over 2 billion field hours puts those fears to rest," said Near Margalit, CEO of LuminentOIC.
LuminentOIC's triplexer transceiver provides a complete solution combining integrated WDM optics for upstream and downstream data, as well as a third wavelength for RF CATV. In addition to the optical capabilities, the integrated triplexer provides a full CATV RF receiver featuring industry leading noise performance of 4 pA/rtHz. The high volume manufacturing infrastructure applied to the BPON transceiver will seamlessly extend to future GPON product offerings.
