Billion chooses BroadLight’s 3rd generation GPON processor family

SANTA CLARA, USA: BroadLight, a leading supplier of fiber access processors, announced that Billion Electric Co. Ltd. has selected BroadLight’s 3rd generation BL23500 GPON processor family for their new product development of the BiPAC 9300 GPON gateway.

Billion’s new GPON CPE products designed with newest BroadLight processors will deliver the carrier-class performance in a low cost design that meets all the carrier new service requirements.

As a leader in the worldwide broadband market, Billion has made significant investments in its own proprietary software stacks that ported onto BroadLight’s 2nd generation GPON residential gateway processor.

Because of the design excellence of BroadLight’s gateway processors, and its unified software middleware, Billion will be able to easily port their own software onto the newest generation BL23500 GPON family and roll out more new models of the BiPAC 9300 GPON gateway series, thus enabling quick, seamless and powerful run times.

“Every service provider we speak to is interested in deploying GPON based on BroadLight’s fiber grade architecture because it delivers the most bandwidth power in the most cost effective design, which enables them to increase ARPU through new applications,” said Raanan Gewirtzman, CEO of BroadLight. “We are pleased to be working with Billion and to expand our GPON business into additional fiber access markets.”

“Clearly the market is transitioning to a high-performance standard for broadband services,” said Tim Chen, chairman and CEO at Billion. “We are successful with BroadLight’s GPON technology because it is one of the best solutions on the market and as such, we can leverage it to enable Billion to emerge as a market leader in the Active Ethernet (point-to-point fiber) market.”
