Today's access networks are limited in cost effectively delivering high bandwidth necessary services, resulting in bandwidth bottlenecks between the high-speed enterprise networks and the large capacity-metropolitan and regional transport networks.

Market demands combined with an ever-increasing influx of new services force operators to seek low-cost,
high-performance solutions, particularly for the crucial last mile between the Central Office (CO), Point of Presence (pop), carrier hotels and Point of Delivery (FTTC, and FTTB) in business and residential areas.

The challenge for optical networking experts is to deliver a solution that transports high bandwidth over an optical fiber infrastructure, without requiring dedicated fiber for each customer. The solution must be cost-effective, flexible and scalable. FlexLight Networks rises to this challenge with its breakthrough technology.

The US market for optical access network equipment is projected to grow from $1.1 billion in 2001 to $2.5 billion in 2004. This burgeoning market requires infinite bandwidth, unlimited flexibility and uncompromised service transparency, particularly at the Access layer.

The FlexLight platform empowers operators and service providers by providing a platform that is scalable, robust and cost effective. FlexLight's innovative Access networking solution caters to the operators' exact requirements by providing dynamic and reliable convergence of voice, video and data over a transparent Access layer while maintaining QoS required by the various services.
