All optic is the industry's first company to successfully bridge traditional telephone service, Ethernet service, and RF video service onto a single, seamless, passive optical distribution platform.

By bringing together the technical worlds of Passive Optical Networking (PON) and RF over Glass (RFoG), Alloptic provides a unique, hybrid PON,
solution providing the operator the flexibility to choose the services they want to offer, in the format they prefer associated with optical access networks.

This hybrid PON solution allows Telco operators the ability to leverage today's RF video technology while being transparent to the PON technology.
Similarly, the hybrid PON allows a CATV provider to offer cable modem service and business Ethernet services.

With the blended PON-RFoG network, Alloptic opens up unlimited opportunities for operators to expand their market offerings to new customers at nominal cost. Network service growth is handled at a single point, the headend or central office. Since it is a passive network, the Alloptic solution eliminates the cost
and expense associated with active elements in the field. With a gigabit of symmetrical bandwidth, Alloptic's hybrid PON provides the bandwidth required to handle the most demanding applications like IPTV or collecting full motion video from security cameras back to a central location.

Security

Along with video surveillance, the ability to connect many security devices over a long fiber route is key to security applications. Security devices come in myriad forms - analog cameras, digital cameras, motion sensors, intrusion monitors, infrared imaging, biometric identification systems, and many more. Alloptic is compatible with any device that has an Ethernet or TDM network connection. Security devices are often spread over significant distances, such as a fence line, border crossing, or around a base. A single Alloptic edge200 OLT (Alloptic's smallest OLT chassis) can support over 1,500 devices with up to 670Kbps/device and a span of more than 300km. With Alloptic's edge2000, even higher densities are possible.

Security applications require unmatched reliability and Alloptic's GEPON systems deliver both high reliability and security. That begins with the OLT architecture. Each of the modules shown in the Alloptic edge2000 OLT (right) has 1:1 redundancy with automatic switchover in case of failure. Up to 8 x 1Gbps network interfaces supply more than adequate bandwidth in the event of service loss at the upstream router or network connecting the OLT and router. Redundant A/B -48VDC power connections are available for backup power should one power supply fail. Other than the backplane of the chassis itself, there is no single point of failure in the OLT network element.

Redundancy extends to the outside plant and ONT as well. While fiber optic networks are inherently more reliable than copper, problems such as a fiber cut do occur. Alloptic supports diverse-route fiber redundancy as shown in the following diagram. If the primary fiber route is disrupted, the ONT automatically switches to the signal feed from the diverse fiber route.

Time-to-restore is a key element of system reliability and high availability. Other point-to-point fiber systems that use 96-, 144-, or even 288-fiber cabling require that every fiber be identified and spliced in the event of a cut before full service is restored. In the same fiber cut situation with Alloptic, one or two splices have the system operational in short order.
