PRODUCT FOCUS
FOLAN showcases RIGA distribution frames FOLAN has announced that it will use FTTH Conference 2018 to showcase its RIGA optical distribution frames. The frames are available in either single or double versions and integrate into technical rooms, optical connection nodes, optical sub-distributors and shelters. Each product has been adapted to serve as indoor operator distribution point boxes, in compliance with current regulations applied to FTTH network materials and manage a high density of optical fibres and subscriber connections (from 900 to 1 100 subscribers). Designed to host 19” modules for the connection, coupling, dispatching and storage of optical fibres, they are also compatible with all equipment required to build FTTH networks. Both versions include a fully functional coiling area composed of vertical cylinder patchcord organisers and are designed to facilitate dispatching within the ODF. Quick and easy to assemble, the frames take up very little space and include a variety of cable fastening brackets as well as adjustable guide rings and hooks. The products can be fixed to a wall, or directly to the ground and it is also possible to place them back to back, or side by side. The company stated that it is also able to provide bespoke frames to match specific user requirements and can be deliver each product equipped with materials, like its own NIAGARA patch panels or cable spreader boxes.
CTS overcomes FTTA and FTTB deployment challenges
Connection Technology Systems (CTS) recently revealed two new 14/10-port L2+ fibre access switches for FTTA and FTTB deployment, the FOS-3114 and FOS-3110. Designed to overcome deployment challenges, such as space limitations, noise problems and environmental factors, the half-rack size 3114 and 3110 are perfect for installations in apartment
potential noise complaints and ensure a longer lifespan. The switches are also dry contact equipped, connecting to a siren, or other sensor devices, to detect theft or accidents. Both 3114 and 3110 products come with a full management solution, including both out- of-band console port and in-band IP Telnet, SSH, Web, SNMP for remote management.

Fibre management made easy
The Internal Fibre Distribution Enclosure, from C3T Technologies, simplifies the deployment and distribution of fibre in the backbone infrastructure. Operating as a floor box, or as a building entry point, the three-layered unit provides a base with multiple cable entry points to suite di erent mounting positions, both vertically and horizontally, and an upper module providing connections up to 9SC/APC duplex adapters and routing / storage for 900µm pigtail cables. Up to eighteen splices can be supported on the hinged multifunctional split try, which can also Ciena has added powerful new hardware and software capabilities to its packet networking portfolio with three new edge access and aggregation products, and more capacity for its 8700 Packetwave edge aggregation platform. The new solutions support 100GbE and 10Gbe aggregation and delivery, aiding the new wave of web-scale applications and allowing network providers to reduce overall lifecycle costs and respond to changing market conditions faster.
separate fibre storage and accommodate splitters if required. The enclosure cover can be entirely removed to o er full access to the fibre storage and splicing areas.
Ciena brings capacity closer to the Edge
“Ciena has the foresight to see where the customer trends are heading and understands what network providers must do to ‘follow where the puck is going’ to address the emerging intercept demand from bandwidth- hogging applications. Customers putting more intelligence at the edge is creating this demand in their core networks,” explained Mike Sapien, Vice President & Chief Analyst, Ovum.
