Single optic fibre to deliver multiple services

Internet, cable TV, Video conferencing all through one fibre

PTI | May 10, 2010



Ever thought of a technology that can deliver multiple services like super speed Internet and cable TV over a single optic fibre?

Hyderabad-based Cavera Systems today claimed it has developed a green technology that will deliver Internet at 1 Gbps speed, cable TV, satellite television, video conferencing and video security and surveillance over a Passive Optical Network (PON).

Simply put, there will be no need of separate wires for Internet, cable TV and other electronic gadgets. Customers can avail all services through one fibre.

The technology called 'VERA PON' will be launched by former President A P J Abdul Kalam tomorrow on the occasion of Technology Day.

The technology has been successfully developed in the US and India encompassing hotels, hospitals and residential townships, Venkataramana Vankayalapati, Managing Director of Cavera Systems, said.

"The hotels include the Westin at Lake Mary Orlando, Florida and Marriott Residence Inn in Alabama. The deployments in India include the Palm Meadows gated community of 337 Luxury Villas in Hyderabad," he said.

Suraj Dias of Cavera Systems said the company was planning to approach the government to explain the technology and how it can be used in e-governance and in educational institutions.
