Optical Solutions Inc. will support its newest customer, Pinnacle Communications, in deploying the state of Arkansas's first FTTH network in the city of Lavaca. The fast-growing river valley community--15 miles east of Fort Smith--is being completely refurbished with an all-fiber infrastructure, enabling a range of state-of-the-art communication and entertainment services powered by Optical Solutions' FiberPath system.

Family owned and operated, Pinnacle Communications prides itself on being at the forefront of telecommunications technology and on working hard to earn customers' loyalty.

Pinnacle will deploy Optical Solutions' FiberPath 500 system to 1,800 customers in its Lavaca exchange. The FiberPath GPON system offers superlative bandwidth--1.2Gbps downstream and 622Mbps upstream--for delivering advanced voice services, symmetrical high-speed data service, and Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). The FiberPath system is fully compliant with ITU FSAN standards, and is the only residential GPON platform that is widely deployed and available today.
