EMR News Emerson Leverages Telecom Expertise to Enable Fiber Deployment
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and the global
leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity, today introduced NetSpan™
FTTH Solutions to further support the transition from copper to fiber
networks, extending its presence in the telecommunications market.
Growing customer demand for network bandwidth and the industry trend
toward providing triple play services – voice,
video, data – over fiber networks to consumers
are key drivers behind Emerson Network Power’s
new offerings.
Fiber to the home (FTTH) is the fastest-growing global broadband
technology, with significant deployments underway in Asia, Europe, and
North America. Emerson Network Power has been a leader by offering
copper solutions and is leveraging its existing relationships and
understanding of the telecommunications industry to provide customers
with the most cost-effective outside plant and telecom cabinet solutions
from any single provider. Prior to the launch of NetSpan FTTH Solutions,
network providers were required to use multiple vendors for each
deployment.
“Emerson Network Power’s
fiber offerings are unique in that they are compatible with the older
existing technology and the new fiber network, which makes the
inevitable transition from copper to fiber easy and cost-effective,”
said Ed Feeney, Emerson senior vice president. “For
example, all fiber to the home products are designed to be used with the
copper network, but can be transitioned to fiber without incurring
additional infrastructure costs.”
Emerson Network Power offers complete solutions that simplify the
deployment of fiber to the home for network providers. The NetSpan FTTH
Solutions portfolio allows customers to maximize their existing copper
infrastructures while also planning for the future.
“The consumer and business appetite for
broadband services is increasing from kilobytes and megabytes to
gigabytes and terabytes and existing copper infrastructure simply cannot
accommodate this need,” Feeney said. “Our
adaptive fiber solutions enable the telecommunications industry to move
forward faster.”
