Warner Properties Communications Selects Zhone for VDSL2
Deployment provides high speed connections for buildings in the Twin Cities
market
Oakland, CA -April 3, 2013- Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global
leader in FTTx network access solutions, today announced that Warner Properties
Communications (WPC), a full-service satellite/Internet provider, has selected
Zhone for the integration of its VDSL2 technology. Through this deployment, WPC
will be able to provide high speed data, video and voice services to its more
than 15,000 subscribers in the Twin Cities market.
VDSL2 is a technology that enables telcos to maintain bottom-line costs while
remaining competitive with cable providers by delivering fiber-like speeds over
copper lines. For WPC, it specifically offers symmetrical access mirroring
existing capabilities with Ethernet deployments consisting of 10/100 mbps port
speeds. VDSL2 also allows WPC to scale capital expenditure as subscribers
increase, allowing for initial deployment costs to be more reasonable for its
current footprint.
"Warner Properties Communications needed a solution for buildings not wired with
category five cables or better, and thus could not use Ethernet. Coax solutions
such as DOCSIS were too expensive and not suitable for a deployment this size,"
said Chase Rydberg, director of network operations at Warner Properties
Communications. "Zhone's VDSL2 products allowed us to have a symmetrical last-
mile solution for every building we provide with Internet access."
Specializing in high performance and cost effective Internet access to low and
high-rise residential buildings, Minn.-based WPC works with providers that offer
metro fiber solutions to bring reliable high speed access to the buildings. WPC
also works with property owners to establish a building-wide network, enabling
homeowners to have access to their own available infrastructure.
"Zhone's VDSL2 will enable Warner Properties Communications to provide buildings
with fiber-like speed over copper, increasing bandwidth and addressing
challenges for Ethernet," said Brian Caskey, chief marketing officer at Zhone.
"The solution is cost effective and customers will benefit from increased
reliability and efficiency."
VDSL2 technology allows operators to meet immediate challenges with a
comprehensive solution while preparing their networks for the imminent and
eventual switch to a complete FTTH network. According to a recent report by RVA,
the annual direct investment in FTTH networks will reach $4.7 billion by 2017
and total investment in FTTH over the next five years will be $18 billion.
Zhone's FiberHome portfolio of products and solutions fulfills the network
requirements of broadband expansion efforts for residential users. For more
