New Zealand Resort Development to Provide Gigabit Ethernet

Posted on 19-Apr-2006 10:10 | Filed under: News


Alloptic, Inc. have been selected for a new planned community, the Huka Falls Resort located near Huka Falls in Taupo, New Zealand.

The fiber optic communication network will provide voice, data, and video service to the residents.

John Nixon, CEO of Optical Network Engineering, Ltd. says "As developers lay out new resorts and communities, they need to ensure that the communications infrastructure is capable of supporting the digital lifestyle of the residents who will inhabit the community. We expect the amenity value to approach US$15,000 per home based on our target market."

Alloptic works in the development and deployment of IEEE Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GEPON) technology. With a native ability to support traditional TDM voice over an Ethernet-based platform, the company is able to provide telephone services while seamlessly supporting next generation services like IP HDTV.
