Corning's new innovative platform is set to deliver the
Optical Network Evolution (ONE(TM)) that will address the next wave
of wireless demand
CORNING, N.Y., May 20,
2013 - Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today
unveiled the first all-optical, converged in-building wireless
solution to satisfy the increasing demand from enterprises, hotels,
convention centers, and arenas for high-speed, high-capacity
wireless hubs with virtually unlimited bandwidth.
Built on a high-performance optical backbone, the Corning ONE(TM)
Wireless Platform is designed to handle core cellular technologies
and enable multiple applications, including wireless LAN, public
safety and location-based services. In addition, Corning ONE
Wireless Platform offers Wi-Fi support through its built-in Gigabit
Ethernet and Power over Ethernet capability.
Corning ONE Wireless Platform leverages
fiber-to-the-edge technology to deliver more bandwidth, more
operators, more services, and more applications via fiber links to
an integrated, modular single-input, single-output/multiple-input,
multiple-output (SISO/MIMO) antenna. The platform's remote antenna
units offer upgradable expansion modules for MIMO in a single
antenna, allowing for future additions of active spectrum.
With the proliferation of smartphones and other
devices, current networks cannot keep pace with the demand. The
need exists for a new generation of easily installed, reliable and
environmentally sensitive fiber optic networking technology that
can meet the demands of today's users and anticipate those of the
evolving mobile era.
"The wireless needs of the modern organization -
be they a large enterprise, an educational institution, or a hotel
and convention center - are changing faster than traditional
technology approaches can manage," said Mike O'Day, vice president,
Wireless Networks with Corning. "The ONE Wireless Platform combines
all of these distinct connectivity needs into a single, unified
infrastructure. The platform not only meets the demands of today,
but also includes a modular design that provides the scalability
required to support future services and applications."
Station Casinos, a premier gaming, hotel, and
entertainment company operating in and around the Las Vegas area,
turned to Corning and its new ONE Wireless Platform to provide the
best possible wireless service to staff and guests.
As the owner and operator of nine major
hotel/casinos, including premier venues like Red Rock Resort and
Green Valley Ranch Resort, Stations' technicians understand the
challenge of providing mass-demand cellular and Wi-Fi coverage. But
they needed more. CIO Abe Hong called on Corning and the
distribution channel, Anixter, for a leg up in the
hyper-competitive gaming and hospitality market.
"The Corning ONE(TM) Wireless Platform offers
virtually unlimited bandwidth on which to deliver cellular and
Wi-Fi right to the access point." Hong said. "The converged,
modular, and all-optical infrastructure will give us the
capabilities we need today with the flexibility to expand in the
future. Moreover, my team saw significant savings on equipment,
space, and cabling when we extended our Wi-Fi upgrade over the
platform. We are excited to be rolling out this new platform to Red
Rock and other properties to provide our guests and staff
unparalleled wireless services."
With the launch of the Corning ONE Wireless
Platform, Corning's distributed antenna system portfolio expands
beyond traditional DAS, supporting nearly every connectivity need
from lower power, cost-effective deployments inherent in small
office buildings to the massive bandwidth and coverage needs of
public venues such as convention centers and stadiums. The
Corning ONE Wireless Platform meets the demands of today and the
future by providing optical bandwidth to the edge of the network.
