Alcatel’s FTTU (Fiber-to-the-User) solution is being deployed in Japan by a local cable TV operator and a municipal authority under projects managed by Itochu Cable Systems, a leading system integrator in Japanese cable TV, broadband and broadcast media. The two FTTU projects enable City Cable Shunan Corporation, a cable TV operator in the Yamaguchi prefecture and the municipal authority of the Kijimadaira town in the Nagano prefecture, to offer video and Internet services. Itochu Cable Systems is utilizing the Alcatel 7340 Packet Optical Line Terminal (P-OLT) and the Alcatel 7340 Home Optical Network Terminal (H-ONT), to build both networks.

From the Graveyard
You just read about Alcatel. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Xylan built Enterprise LAN switching. What became of it?
Xylan brought Enterprise LAN switching to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Alcatel for US$2B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Alcatel today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about FTTH. Here is what it replaced:
ADSL / ADSL2+ served from 1999. What ultimately replaced it?
ADSL / ADSL2+ split the copper-loop spectrum into hundreds of DMT subcarriers, assigning most bandwidth downstream; reach and rate fell off sharply with loop length. Its job passed to FTTH — 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.
