In 2006 CBN signed a joint venture agreement with Dutch consultancy Close the Gap which was responsible for conceiving, planning and delivering the OnsNet (“our net” in English) Fibre to the Home (Ftth) project in the market town of Nuenen and then in Eindhoven.
Most originate from data center facilities such as One Wilshire in Los Angeles, 55 South Market in San Jose, Palo Alto Internet Exchange, PAIX in Palo Alto and Equinix in San Jose. Services are primarily provided to businesses customers, however, several Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) projects, condo and apartment complexes have been installed and managed.
Although their mechanisms are different, modelocking lasers and Lyot-filter lasers both produce a comb of multiple wavelengths which can be placed on the ITU grid for Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) or used to give each suburban home its own return-signal laser wavelength in a passive optical network (PON) used to provide FTTH (Fiber To The Home).
Services provided are telephone, voice over IP, DSL (15 Mbit/s/1 Mbit/s, 10 Mbit/s/768 kbit/s, 6 Mbit/s/768 kbit/s, 3 Mbit/s/768 kbit/s, 1 Mbit/s/128 kbit/s), FTTH for competitive local exchange carrier areas up to 50 Mbit/s data both ways, IPTV in HD for copper customers with a bonded DSL modem, and IPTV in HD for FTTH customers.
