JDSU introduced the first centralized remote Passive Optical Network (PON) test system, a unique solution that tests point-to-multi-point networks from the central office (CO) using a web browser. This application is a complementary application to the widely used JDSU Optical Network Management System (ONMS) that includes point-to-point fiber monitoring and GIS based outside plant documentation. The system supports service providers migrating to PON by delivering a fast and cost-effective method of turning up and restoring IPTV and other broadband services to meet users’ quality of experience expectations.

ON Semiconductor, a leading global supplier of high performance, energy efficient silicon solutions, introduced two electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices housed in its new, ultra-small 0201 Dual Silicon No-Lead (DSN-2) package. The DSN style package, which measures a mere 0.6 mm x 0.3 mm x 0.3 mm, enables 100 percent utilization of the package area for active silicon, offering a significant performance-per-board-area advantage compared with products in plastic molded packages.
