CARROLLTON, Texas, Oct. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tellabs, the leading provider of PON solutions, announces another successful completion of DoD JITC testing for Tellabs OLAN System Release 31.3 (SR31.3), including the 10-gigabit XGS-PON Tellabs® FlexSym™ Optical Network Terminal 248 (ONT248) and Tellabs® FlexSym™ Optical Network Terminal 205 (ONT205).
This JITC security, availability, and interoperability certification test completion helps Tellabs continue to deliver a technology that is recognized in the DoD Digital Modernization Strategy Plan for FY19-23 that identifies PON as a technology offering great promise to U.S. DoD. Furthermore, this latest JITC testing confirms Tellabs as a PON innovation leader delivering many industry firsts for Federal Government Defense, Intelligence and Civilian networks, such as:
- First symmetrical 10-gigabit XGS-PON
- First bidirectional AES-128 encryption over PON
- First 1G, 2.5G, 5G and 10G Ethernet multi-rate ports over PON
- First 48-port 10-gigabit XGS-PON ONT for low cost Ethernet switch replacement
- First co-exist G-PON and XGS-PON over same fiber cable and infrastructure
The rack mountable one-rack unit (1RU) Tellabs FlexSym ONT248 offers the delivery of 48-ports of Power over Ethernet enabled Ethernet connectivity over an ITU-T G.9807 compliant symmetrical 10 Gbps downstream, and 10 Gbps upstream, XGS-PON transmission. It offers economical one-to-one closet-based legacy Ethernet switch replacement that reuses the last 100m CATx cables in the horizontal, pathways, walls and drops.
The Tellabs FlexSym ONT205 offers 5-ports of Ethernet and multiple deep fiber mounting options across buildings and campus. The Tellabs FlexSym ONT205 provides flexible and symmetrical extended Ethernet connectivity over a 10-gigabit PON infrastructure at multi-rate 1G, 2.5G, 5G and 10G Ethernet speeds. These multi-rate Ethernet ports optimize network performance with costs for connecting high-bandwidth endpoints like Wi-Fi and video surveillance.
“With the Tellabs FlexSym ONT248 and ONT205 passing JITC certification, the U.S. federal government and armed services now have the first end-to-end solution for building cost-effective 10-gigabit passive optical LAN that satisfies the vision of the DoD Digital Modernization Strategy Plan,” said Rich Schroder, Tellabs President and CEO.
