Aurora Networks began shipping a new line of 1 GHz 1310 nm optical broadcast and narrowcast transmitters for cable operators. Four versions of the low-cost 1 GHz transmitters are available, offering:
- One all-band RF input port
- Dual RF input ports for broadcast and narrowcast inputs
- Dual RF input ports with automatic gain control (AGC)
- Fully-featured LCWDM versions
Aurora also began shipping three other transmitters for its optical transport platform:
- 1550 nm broadcast transmitters optimized for NTSC 77-channel and PAL B/G 64-channel plans at transmission distances of 65 or 100 kilometers and with 9.5 dBm minimum optical output power
- 1550 nm narrowcast transmitters with 42 different DWDM wavelength versions with 100 GHz channel spacing (channels 18 through 59 on the standard ITU-T G.694.1 grid and 10 dBm optical output power
- 1310 nm Enhanced Performance Transmitters with 53 dB CNR (with full channel loading of 50-550 MHz analog and 550-1002 MHz, 256 QAM).
