Huawei-3Com Selects Passave Silicon for FTTH

Huawei-3Com has selected Passave's Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) chips for deployment in its Quidway S6500 Series Switch product line. The Quidway S6500 is designed for gigabit-speed delivery of data, voice, and video over fiber and is expected to provide users a significantly lower cost for EPON-based broadband service.


Passave said its low-cost, highly integrated EPON chipset is suited to the requirements of carriers in China for cost-competitive broadband delivery and services.


Huawei-3Com's Quidway S6500 Series Switch product with integral Passave FTTH silicon will begin shipping in volume in the third quarter of 2005.
