Ikanos to Showcase Advance Broadband Access
Ikanos Advances the State-of-the-Art for Broadband Access
G.vector and Other Innovative Technologies to Take Center Stage at Broadband World Forum 2010 — the World’s Largest Broadband Event
Around the world, broadband has rapidly become an important part of consumers’ daily lives and integral to communications, commerce, telemedicine, entertainment and much more. How can service providers keep pace with the demand for new bandwidth intensive services and expand the footprint for which these services can be offered? At Broadband World Forum, Ikanos Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:IKAN – News), a leading provider of advance broadband semiconductor and software products for the digital home, will showcase a range of new technologies that are designed to enable the cost-effective extension of broadband to even greater numbers of people — at speeds of one hundred Megabits per second (Mbps) in real world deployment environments.
G.vector is one such technology. During the opening day of the conference, Ikanos will explore how G.vector can change the landscape for broadband access. In a conference session entitled “Advancing the State of the Art — ITU-T G.vector Standard Surpasses Fiber Performance Over Copper,” Ikanos, along with speakers from leading service providers AT&T and Swisscom, and equipment manufacturers Alcatel-Lucent and ZTE, will:
- examine the G.vector standard, the performance benefits, and the rate and reach advances over shorter and longer loops;
- discuss processing methods designed to eliminate all crosstalk between copper pairs in a binder, leading to hundreds of Mbps speeds in DSL; and
- explore the implications and deployment considerations for service providers, for maximized service and reduced operational expense.
During the event, Ikanos will also demonstrate a number of its latest silicon and software products designed to accelerate deployment and enable the delivery of advanced services over copper infrastructure. Ikanos will have a booth on the exposition floor (Booth H17) and will host private customer meetings during the event.
In addition, Ikanos will discuss the significance of how the G.vector standard is expected to change the landscape for broadband access during a session scheduled for 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 27 in the theatre on the exhibition floor.
“Ikanos has a longstanding history of innovation, defining and bringing to market enabling broadband technologies,” said John Quigley, president and CEO at Ikanos. “And by continuing this tradition, we are developing technologies designed to enable service providers to extend extremely high-speed broadband access to even greater numbers of people in regions around the world. We see a place for copper, fiber and wireless distribution of broadband, and we are defining ways to maximize the performance and reliability of each. By developing innovative system level G.vector-based technologies, we are accelerating the introduction of fiber-like performance at what we believe will be a fraction of the deployment costs of fiber-to-the-home networks, resulting in significant reductions in capital expenditures for service providers.”
The Broadband World Forum 2010 conference and exposition is scheduled to be held at the CNIT La Defense in Paris, France, October 26-28, 2010. For more information, contact info@ikanos.com or visit www.ikanos.com/news/events/.
