PMC-Sierra 10G-EPON OLT chips support symmetric and asymmetric operation

October 2, 2011

Last week PMC-Sierra, Inc. (Nasdaq:PMCS) announced a family of four 10G-EPON optical line terminal (OLT) system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices that between them support both symmetrical 10 Gbps as well as 10 Gbps downstream and 1 Gbps upstream for FTTH and FTTB applications. The devices also offer traffic management, packet processing, on-chip redundancy, and optical diagnostic capabilities.
