FTTH Leader First to Provide Forward Error Correction in an Ethernet-Based Device, Proving Ethernet's Robustness as a Technology for Access Networks Passave, the leading provider of semiconductors for fiber to the home (FTTH), has extended its leadership position by releasing a sophisticated error-correction mechanism for Ethernet-based passive optical networks (EPONs).
Turbo Product Coding, one of the most advanced forward error-correction (FEC) coding improvements available for satellite modems, such as the Comtech EF Data CDM-600, reduces the amount of power required for antennas to transmit signals to a satellite while maintaining high error correction performance.
Servers with large amounts of memory and standard error-correction are projected to have the same non-correctable error rate as previous parity-only systems.
