Elisa Expands PON Deployment with Vecima’s All-PON™ Shelf, Delivering 10G Fiber Services in Estonia

• Elisa plans to install Vecima’s EXS1610 All-PON shelf across its footprint in Estonia, building on its existing Vecima PON deployment
• 16-port EXS1610 All-PON Shelf supports a variety of PON standards, including GPON, XGS-PON, and 10G-EPON

VICTORIA, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vecima Networks Inc. (TSX: VCM) announced today that leading telecommunications operator Elisa has deployed Vecima’s Entra EXS1610 All-PON™ Shelf for 10G Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) services for its subscribers in Estonia.

In Estonia’s competitive broadband market, Elisa brings highly innovative solutions to its subscribers. Vecima’s EXS1610 supports multiple deployment use cases, including greenfield, targeted brownfields, rural edge-outs, hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) overbuilds, footprint extensions, and hub collapses.

Its compact shelf footprint can help reduce operating costs and allow operators to deploy anywhere – for maximum flexibility, including data centers, remote cabinets, the headend, and multi-dwelling units.

The Entra EXS1610 All-PON Shelf features:

• 16 x PON ports: 10G-EPON, XGS-PON, and Combo XGS-PON & GPON
• Temperature-hardened for outside plant deployments
• Multi-vendor optical network terminal (ONT) interoperability
• Uplink optics: 2 x 100/40G & 2 x 25/10G with broad third-party optics support
• 300mm depth designed for ETSI-rack
• 1+1 AC or DC power redundancy

“Vecima is unique in offering a purpose-built, 16-port, 1 rack unit 10G-EPON shelf that shares the same software as the worldwide market share-leading Entra SF-4X Remote Optical Line Terminal (R-OLT) platform,” said Vijay Raman, Vice President of Fiber Access Product Line Management at Vecima. “Operators can be confident that the EXS1610 is ready to deploy at scale on day one.”

According to Dell’Oro Group, Vecima is the global revenue leader in Remote OLT devices, which enable Broadband Service Providers to deliver 10G FTTH services, including the EXS1610 All-PON Shelf. In addition, the Entra SF-4X – the world’s most widely-deployed Remote OLT – can support 50G ITU PON and 10G-EPON or XGS-PON simultaneously on the same port for maximum investment protection and simplified Next-Gen PON migration.
