Comporium Communications, a Rock Hill, S.C.-based telecom and cable operator, said it will deploy a Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network to support broadband services for residential and commercial customers.

Comporium will use the “Last Mile Link” system from Wave7 Optics Inc. for the FTTP networks, which will be going live this year.

With FTTP, Comporium will provide the triple play of voice, video and data services to homes and businesses throughout its service area. Residential customers typically will have up to four lines of IP telephony, up to 150 channels of digital and high-definition channel, and 10 Mbps or faster Internet service.

Business customers will have access to multiple T-1 equivalent ports, video services, multiple phone lines and full Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) or 10 GbE support.

“As IP over Gigabit Ethernet has reached maturity and all network architectures continue to migrate towards IP, we wanted to put in a platform that would take advantage of the magnitude of Ethernet technology and the resulting capital and operational savings,” said Dan Smith, vice president of engineering and planning for Comporium, in a release.
