"Firecomms has serviced network operator requirements by working closely with the vendor community to develop a broad variety of POF-based networking solutions," says Firecomms' vice president of sales and marketing for the Americas, Lawrence Thorne. "As a result there is an increasing interest in the deployment of POF networking solutions by operators worldwide who have recognized the merits of POF to guarantee network reliability, reduce subscriber installation costs, and maximize ARPU (average revenue per user)." The POF Symposium will be held on March 25 at OFC/NFOEC 2010, booth 1151. The agenda for the POF Symposium is available at http://symposium.pofto.org.

OptoLock also will be featured in several products on display at the POF Pavilion, including devices from SMC/Nyce Technology, and on the Senko Advanced Components booth, number 1435. Firecomms leads the development of devices to drive POF, a low-cost optical alternative to copper cabling. Due to its ease of use, large core tolerances, and low costs, POF is enjoying substantial growth in home network and point-to-point interconnection.
