Lately, more and more homes have been taking advantage of triple-play (audio, data, and video) services. This demand is expected to intensify the competition among video services, including video on demand (VOD), and will create a greater need for optical access systems that provide broadband. However, attaining triple-play comfortably will require improvements to the high-speed access networks that transmit and distribute audio, data, video, and other contents so that contents will be delivered without delay. Additionally, a good balance of fine-grained broadband control, cost-effectiveness, and reliability will be necessary.

For access systems that include consumers, business users, and mobile backhauls, Hitachi provides a PON solution that effectively accommodates dispersed subscribers by branching an optical fiber at low maintenance cost. Hitachi has more than 20 years' experience in PON research, manufactured and deployed a long line of PON systems, including ATM-PON, B-PON, GE-PON and G-PON, making it a worldwide leader in PON systems.

Hitachi meets these requirements at a high level with cutting-edge PON technology and access network solutions designed for the age.
