Radio Frequency over Glass (RFoG) technology is designed as a universal fiber-to-the-premises solution for HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coax) network operators. RFoG supports incremental migration to fiber optic access and allows cable operators to align network expense with revenue potential, acceleration ROI. The RFoG solution provides the benefits of a PON, including elimination of expensive powered components in the outside plant. RFoG can be deployed in a standalone configuration, or with either EPON or GPON technology.
Hitachi's Node+Zero RFoG solution follows the specifications of the emerging RFOG (RF over Glass) initiative, allowing CATV operators to leverage existing head end and CPE equipment and ultimately to incrementally migrate to PON as market conditions warrant. The solution supports targeted bandwidth increases along with opportunities for immediate revenue from subscribers in the target locations.
