Horsebridge Network Systems, a UK-based international network and security infrastructure supplier, has selected ECI Telecom as their technology partners in the rollout of an advanced fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) project in the City of Westminster, London, UK.
Horsebridge have setup a new company called Community Fiber Ltd that will provide TV, Broadband and telephony services to Westminster’s residents. Plans call for the installation of GPON in more than 22,000 homes in the City of Westminster over the next three years. The project will use ECI’s I-OLT platform, which is optimized for any FTTx architecture and supports GPON, active Ethernet and full traffic aggregation capabilities.

You just read about ECI Telecom. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Laurel Networks built Service-edge routers. What became of it?
Laurel Networks brought Service-edge routers to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by ECI Telecom for US$88M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside ECI Telecom today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about GPON. Here is what it replaced:
APON / BPON served 1998–2000. What ultimately replaced it?
APON / BPON early passive optical networks: one fiber from the central office fanned out through unpowered splitters to homes, sharing ATM-cell (APON) or broadband (BPON) capacity by time-division. Its job passed to GPON — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
