Corning Cable Systems, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE:GLW)
Telecommunications segment, announced today that Telepak Networks
has chosen Corning products for its latest fiber-to-the-home (FTTH)
deployment in Crystal Springs, Miss. Telepak Networks, a full
service provider of Internet, telecommunications and network
services, is installing a FTTH network for approximately 2,750
homes in Crystal Springs, the second FTTH community in Mississippi.
For the all-fiber network, Telepak chose Corning Cable Systems'
Evolant(R) Advantage Solution, including all of the backbone and
distribution cable containing Corning(R) optical fiber, as well as
Corning Cable Systems' Eclipse(R) Hardware with LCP splitters for
the central office. The deployment consisted of a central office
switch homerun architecture with all the fibers terminated within
the central office, along with the 1x32 splitters. Telepak was
looking for a solution that would minimize the number of passive
optical racks within the central office in order to save valuable
space for electronics as well as power requirements. By utilizing
Corning Cable Systems Evolant Advantage Solution in the central
office - which for 288-fiber distribution capacity, including up to
nine 1x32 splitters, all within 12 rack spaces - Telepak was able
to reduce the passive optical footprint by more than 33 percent.
With the Corning products and the benefits of FTTH, Telepak will
offer customers converged billing as well as state-of-the-art
Internet, telephone and television services. The Telepak network
will work from a central office, with fibers homerun directly to
the customer premises. "Corning was able to provide a solution that
gave us the fiber management we required from the central office,"
said Steven Meadows, sales manager at Telepak. "This FTTH
deployment will take our residents to the next level, with services
including converged billing, high-quality digital video and an
expanded calling area." Meadows continued, "through our affiliates
we have a 50-year history of serving small communities in
Mississippi. We are eager to continue that tradition by introducing
an advanced network that will not only enrich peoples' lives, but
also create new economic opportunities." "Telepak Networks is
advancing the state of optical communications by bringing fiber to
the home in Crystal Springs," said Dr. Bernhard Deutsch, director
of marketing and market development for Corning Cable Systems. "We
are pleased to have a significant part in bringing an advanced
network and advanced services to Mississippi residents." Through
