Integra Networks temperature grade types:

• Standard or Commercial grade: 0 °C to 70 °C
• Industrial grade (I-Temp): −40 °C to 85 °C

These grades ensure that a device is suitable for its environment, and it will withstand the conditions in which it is used. Since devices generate heat during operation, they may require thermal management to ensure they are within their specified operating temperature range; specifically, that they are operating within the maximum temperature of the device.

In fiber optic networks, proper cooling and air flow is necessary regardless of location, and all routers and switches must be protected from the elements. Varying factors may include the location of the routers/switches, such as inside or outside, as well as the extreme conditions of geographical locations – ranging from the heat in the south (i.e. Arizona) to the cold in the north (i.e. Alaska.)

Most fiber optic networks use Standard grade optics, but the extreme conditions may require the use of Industrial grade optics. Integra Networks optics are designed to match and in many cases, exceed, the original thermal characters of the original OEM optic specifications.

Featured Product:   GEPON With DPoE™

Integra Networks, Inc. continually strives to provide the most current products for our customers.  The research and testing performed by our experienced Engineers provides Integra Networks the opportunity to offer the most advanced technology available.  One such product is GEPON with DOCSIS® Provisioning of EPON (DPoE™.)

Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS®) enables the addition of high-speed data transfer to an existing cable TV (CATV) system and is employed by many cable television operators to provide Internet access over their existing hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) infrastructure.

DOCSIS® Provisioning of EPON (DPoE™) creates architecture and serves as necessary specifications for Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) equipment to be provisioned using existing DOCSIS-based provisioning systems and policies.  It also provides network services over EPON access networks to business customers.  Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GEPON) facilitates the integration of Fiber Networks with Ethernet functionality (IEEE 802.3.)

The Integra Networks industry standard GEPON SFP is currently in the testing phase and has proven to fit seamlessly into existing communications equipment, providing service providers with a smooth upgrade to GEPON. The Integra Networks Optical GEPON Network Unit (ONU) utilizes the industry standard Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) packaging.

Main features of the Integra Networks GEPON SFP include:

•        Up to 20km Reach

•        Compliant with IEEE 802.3ah™-2004 1000BASE-PX20 GEPON ONU side application

•        Small Form Factor (SFP) Pluggable

•        Simplex SC Connector

•        Single SMF 1310nm/1490nm bi-directional transmission

•        Up to 32 subscribers within 20km radius

•        “Plug-and-play” via auto-discovery and configuration

•        Symmetric 1.25Gbps upstream/downstream

•        Low maximum operating power ~1.4W

•        Extended operating case temperature: -30°C ~ 75°C

•        Digital Diagnostic interface compliant with SFF-8472

We are moving into the era of the Networked Society, where anything that will benefit from a connection will get one. Telecom operators and service providers face both opportunity and threat from the combined force of the popularity and proliferation of a wide variety of smart devices, video entertainment, Over-the-Top (OTT) services, and the rush by enterprise to move information technology (IT) into the cloud. As bandwidth requirements continue to increase for residential, commercial and mobile services, the underlying network infrastructure must also scale to meet these requirements and achieve operational and capital expense efficiencies to stay profitable.

Our industry is on the cusp of change in technology, in business models and in service innovation—and TIA 2012 is designed to embrace it all under one roof.

Integra Networks is pleased to have the opportunity to exhibit at this event and connect with key individuals and organizations in the industry. We invite you to visit our booth (# 723) and meet our experienced Integra Networks team. Our engineers and sales executives are dedicated to providing customized solutions designed to fit your unique specifications and would enjoy discussing any deployment requirements or platform challenges you may be experiencing.

Each new product we offer is engineered and modeled based on feedback from our customers. Over the past few months, there has been a lot of activity in the Integra Networks lab, as the Engineering Department has been researching, developing and testing several new fiber optic products. We anticipate that we will be in a position to showcase these new items at the TIA 2012 Conference & Exhibition in June.

We look forward to seeing you at the Expo so we can talk personally with you about our new fiber optic equipment, and how it can efficiently and cost-effectively expand the reach of your fiber deployment projects.
