Through Corecess, Inc., Teknovus, a fabless semiconductor company
that has shipped over one million Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) ports, has moved into position in the emerging EPON
market in Korea. Korea Telecom selected Corecess S5 scalable IP multi-service access platform and 3800 series ONT system
to implement Korea Telecom’s Fiber-to-the-Home service. The two systems are based on Teknovus’ TK3700-series EPON
chipset. The equipment will be used in the construction of a nationwide broadband network that will offer Korea’s residents
triple-play services for voice, data and television applications.
Noting the exclusivity of the agreement with Corecess and the large
Asian market was Dr. Rex Naden, CEO of Teknovus, "There is no question that fiber-based broadband access is growing rapidly
into a huge market for Asia and the rest of the word. It's an extremely competitive market, but Teknovus has a strong advantage
with the only EPON technology that enables triple-play services -- the key to future success for all service providers. We
are honored that Corecess and KT have recognized the unique price/performance value of the Teknovus EPON chipset solution,
and have selected us exclusively as partners."
