Hitachi's Salira product line creates new opportunities to bring fiber-based broadband services to enterprise and residential as well cellular backhaul applications. Hitachi is at the forefront of affordable DOCSIS managed and multi wavelength PON networks that offer massive bandwidth increases for service providers.
The Salira PON solutions for cable system operators include: Headend equipment, Customer premises equipment and Management platforms. Salira's products are designed to make the economics of Fiber-to-the-Premises work for you. The flexibility of Hitachi's portfolio insures support for all subscriber applications.
Hitachi's PON systems utilize a point-to-multipoint fiber topology that is both cost-effective and efficient to manage. These industry-leading systems combine the simplicity of Ethernet, the world's most ubiquitous network protocol, with the throughput of fiber optics. In other words, Salira develops systems that are Ethernet Simple, and Fiber Fast, to deliver advanced triple play and business services. These standards-compliant Salira EPON platforms are ideally-suited for the high-speed transmission of data, voice and video and all applications for business customers. Salira platform is MEF certified and supports these services while driving cost out of the network.
The Salira PON solutions enable MSOs, ILECs and CLECs to add fiber to their copper networks when and where they need it. Because they operate in conjunction with the existing access network they are the best approach for migrating from an HFC and twisted pair access network to FTTP architectures.
Ethernet PON (EPON) has rapidly become the technology of choice for service providers worldwide as they deploy cutting-edge broadband access networks. In addition to the structural benefits of PON, EPON provides all the benefits of Ethernet as the network protocol. EPON standards were developed by the IEEE and Ethernet service definitions have been specified by the Metro Ethernet Forum. Salira's EPON platforms are MEF certified and comply with IEEE, IETF and ITU-T specifications for Ethernet communications and management.
