ZyXEL Communications, a provider of secure broadband networking, internet connectivity and routing products, has launched new products for fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) deployment, designed to enable telcos offer multiple services including high-speed internet, VoIP and wireless home networking in a single box.
According to ZyXEL, the new FTTH line includes three new ethernet-based devices P-2612HW, NBG-420N and NBG-417N, which connect directly to the Optical Network Terminator (ONT) and allows operators to equip residential subscribers with wireless home connectivity.
The company said, the new P-2612HW is a wireless gateway with dual ADSL2 / ethernet WAN, two VoIP ports and a 4-port switch; and the NGB-420N is a high performance 11n wireless home gateway with four gigabit ethernet ports. Both the P-2612HW and NBG-420N have auto-provisioning and remote management with built-in TR-069 support and advanced QoS features for IPTV.
Finally, the NBG-417N is an entry level 11n router with a 4-port ethernet switch that offers home networking service to subscribers. With customisable services and features, the new FTTH products allow operators to offer different service bundles to meet the demand for high speed internet, home connectivity and services like IPTV, the company said.
