"Yep! I can still hear the echo - 'No one will ever
need Fiber To the Home as it's too expensive
and we will never need all that bandwidth- never
need all that bandwidth - never need all that bandwidth - never need
all that bandwidth.' Are those the folks that still believe
in the Tooth Fairy?"

Verizon Begins Deploying Alcatel-Lucent GPON Equipment
Alcatel-Lucent in its FTTP network, out GPON first to a group of customers in Lewisville, TX, early in the second out
GPON first to a group of customers in Lewisville, TX, early in the second quarter of 2007, and then to a group of
customers in Kirklyn, PA, in the third quarter. At the conclusion of the initial trials, plans for wider expansion of the new
technology will be announced. Verizon will continue deploying the broadband passive optical network (BPON), which it
has been using since it began construction of the all-fiber network. BPON delivers downlink transmission speeds of
622M-bps and 155M-bps upstream. When the fiber reaches a neighborhood it is split up to feed multiple fibers, serving
as many as 32 customers. With GPON, the same fiber supports a downstream speed of 2.4G bps and an upstream
speed of 1.2G bps. The equipment from Alcatel includes optical network terminals where Verizon's fiber terminates at
customers' homes and optical loop terminals in Verizon's Central Offices. Specifically, Verizon will deploy the
Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM fiber-to-the-user (FTTU) platform.deploy the Alcatel-Lucent 7342 ISAM fiber-to-the-user

| Renowned Fiber Optics Laser Transmission Pioneer Joins BDI DataLynk, LLC |
| BDI DataLynk is pleased to announce that Peter H. Morcombe, pioneer fiber optics engineer, has joined as a Contract Instructor. Peter has over 24 years experience in high tech telecommunications and computers. He had responsibility for more than 500 projects in 18 countries, including the 140 Mbps fiber optic link from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, UK to Stevenage, Hertfordshire, UK in 1977. Additionally, Peter was project manager for the 1980 ME29 computer project and the Duke University Free Electron Laser. He spent 4 years developing lasers and picosecond streak cameras. His fiber optics experience includes the manufacture of fiber, fiber optic cable, terminal equipment, and complete systems installation. Peter worked with many of the fiber optic pioneers including Charles Kao and David Payne in the design and development of the early fiber optic systems. He contributed to the development of the fibers used in TAT-8, the first long-haul submarine fiber optic system. Additionally he was responsible for many terrestrial fiber optics projects. For several years, Peter was Chief R & D Engineer at the Duke University Free Electron Laser Laboratory in Durham, NC. His teaching experience includes "Fiber To The Home" and many specialist courses in fiber theory and technology. Peter's professional memberships include FOA, IEE, IEEE and LEOS (Lasers & Electro-Optics Society). Peter has a Master of Arts with Honors from Cambridge University in Electrical Engineering and Physics. In addition, he was awarded a scholarship in physics by Pembroke College, Cambridge and an industrial scholarship by GEC Ltd. He is a Certified Fiber Optics Instructor and Fiber Optics Network Testing & Maintenance Specialist certified by the Fiber Optic Association. |
