EKSAIP Foresees the Evolvement Towards IP over Fiber in 2009

Thursday, Feb 26, 2009

All-IP Network (AIPN) is now popularly pursued, but it is not a new idea. More than 20 years ago since the last century, the founders of EKSAIP had been working hard to develop and promote products and solutions around the concept of All-IP Network. From data transmission to VoIP, Video over IP, Triple Play over IP, Storage over IP, IPTV, Telecom IP to the emerging “Cloud Computing”, we see the importance and dominance of IP.

IPv6 can go as far as giving an IP address to virtually every single device under the sky including the refrigerator in your home. It is no exaggeration that we are now living in an IP world, not just an IT world.

After “All over IP”, with the quest for super high speed broadband connection, “IP over Fiber” is a natural step forward. With fiber connection, the speed of 100Mbit is now a reality and accessible to many users. All IP services can now run much faster on fiber optic networks. With a special interest to bring 100Mbit connection to Italy and boost Italy as one of the top “100Mbit nations” in Europe, EKSAIP ( www.eksaip.it ) announces today to partner with Aspen Optics ( www.aspenoptics.com ) and start the distribution of MetroBlazer™ media converters, switches and chassis as well as Geebic optical transceivers including SFP, GBIC, Xenpak, XFP, 10GE X2 from Aspen Optics.  

“We are very glad to become the distributor of Aspen Optics. In Italy, EKSAIP has strong customer base and knowledge of the local telecom network requirements. Aspen Optics has valuable experience in supporting some of the most advanced FTTH networks of telecom carriers worldwide. The partnership between EKSAIP and Aspen Optics is really a very fruitful one” said Diego Peretti, General Manager of EKSAIP.

It is hard to believe. 10GE just a few years ago was considered as something belonging solely to the core network. But the unprecedented proliferation of inventions and applications of content intensive and time-critical transmission is now pushing the speed of 10GE towards the desktop level.

“Fiber broadband is the only solution to substantiate the insatiable demand for high speed in the short and long term. We will have many core to access level fiber connectivity products and solutions to launch in 2009 including 10GE ultra high speed and low latency Ethernet products. EKSAIP with their success in IP can bring IP over Fiber to new heights”, said David Whitney, Managing Director of Aspen Optics.
