FibroLAN's operations are divided into two main technological pillars: Carrier Ethernet and Timing & Synchronization. These two areas converge to deliver robust solutions capable of handling modern, high-speed network demands, especially in the context of 5G xHaul (fronthaul/midhaul/backhaul) and business Ethernet services.
I. Carrier Ethernet and Access Solutions
FibroLAN offers a wide array of demarcation and aggregation devices, serving as Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) or Network Termination Units (NTU), with capabilities extending up to multiple 10 Gbps rates. These solutions are fundamental to service delivery and network assurance.
- Service Demarcation and Aggregation Units: These devices are the foundation of Carrier Ethernet services, providing a clear boundary between the service provider network and the customer network.
- Falcon-MX/G: A carrier-grade 10 Gigabit aggregation/demarcation system, often featuring advanced synchronization and timing options.
- µFalcon-MX/S: A carrier-grade 10 Gigabit demarcation and local aggregation system, compact for edge deployments.
- nFalcon-M / nFalcon-M4: Ultra-compact, cost-effective service demarcation units, supporting intermediate high-speed access up to 2.5 Gbps.
- Falcon-RX: A 5G xHaul Timing Aware O-RAN Switch that combines a high-performance switch with a PTP Grandmaster.
- Carrier-Grade Features: The products are compliant with MEF CE 2.0 standards and incorporate a complete Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) toolbox. This includes protocols like 802.1ag, Y.1731, RFC2544, and Y.1564 for service assurance, fault management, and performance monitoring, aimed at reducing OPEX.
II. Timing and Synchronization Systems
Recognizing the critical need for precise timing in modern packet-switched networks, especially for 5G, FibroLAN has become a key player in the Timing & Synchronization space. Its products ensure superb accuracy and stability for network synchronization.
- PTP Grandmasters: These devices act as the primary source of synchronization for an entire network, distributing highly accurate timing information using the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP).
- µFalcon-MX/G: A 10G Edge Grandmaster Clock.
- Falcon-MX/G and µFalcon-ST/G: Systems with advanced synchronization options.
- PTP Switches and Clocks: Devices that function as Ordinary Clocks, Transparent Clocks, or Boundary Clocks within the PTP hierarchy.
- µFalcon-RX: A compact Edge xHaul PTP Switch and Clock.
- Timing Protocol Support: Most of the company's access, aggregation, and transmission product lines support essential protocols, including SyncE (Synchronous Ethernet), BITS (Building Integrated Timing Supply), and various PTP profiles.
- NTP Server Capability: Providing Network Time Protocol (NTP) server functionality for general network time distribution.
Products and Auxiliary Offerings
In addition to its core systems, FibroLAN offers solutions for legacy network migration and provides necessary auxiliary equipment.
- Convergence Solutions (TDM Pseudowire): The company enables a smooth, cost-effective transition from legacy telecommunication networks (such as PDH and SONET/SDH) to modern packet-switched infrastructures through TDM Pseudowire aggregators, thereby extending the life of older networks.
- Transmission Systems (xWDM): Simple xWDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) transport systems are offered to increase capacity over existing or minimal new fiber optic cable plants, often utilized by data centers, small cells, and utilities.
- Miscellaneous Products: This category includes essential networking components such as various optical transceivers (SFP, SFP+, XFP) and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) accessories used for time and frequency reference.
- Network Management Systems: FibroLAN offers network management capabilities, with some devices integrating into systems like the NetACE NMS for comprehensive network control and monitoring.
