Our Story

A Network Pushed to the Edge: The global communications industry is undergoing a massive shift propelled by new technologies and skyrocketing bandwidth demands. The need for enhanced performance is being driven by the emergence of new virtual applications and a better broadband experience.

To meet these demands, service providers are pushing both compute and intelligence to the network edge – closer to where data is created and consumed, and the subscriber experience is defined. Traditional network architectures, operational methodologies and business models are not well-suited for this new environment, and traditional industry vendors have been slow to react, protecting investments made in legacy product lines and pursuing business practices that are not aligned with long-term service provider success.

A New Company Architected to Challenge the Status Quo: Zhone Technologies, Inc. has over two decades constantly evolved to take full advantage of this emerging world. Today’s Zhone has systematically assembled a formidable innovation team and engine focused on meeting the demands of the future, developing breakthrough and high-quality solutions, and helping service providers transform their networks and operations to achieve a competitive edge through an integrated suite that includes:

  • 10 Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (10Gig PON) ready for 50G PON and beyond
  • 400G per wavelength DWDM ROADM transport
  • Software-defined networking
  • Self-installable licensed Fixed Wireless Access
  • Industry-leading Fiber Extension solutions managed like an ONT
  • Cutting-edge in-home Wi-Fi 6/7 solutions and business optimized PON
  • Environmentally hardened access and optical designs necessary for the emerging network edge

Delivering a Competitive Edge to the Winning Service Providers of Tomorrow: By unifying its global operations and product innovation teams and instilling a pervasive customer-first attitude and agile mindset, Zhone is delivering on its commitment to service providers, and the success of this strategy has been undeniable.

Over the last 25 years, Zhone has established long-term relationships with hundreds of customers, including some of the largest and most respected carriers in the world. Its renowned quality control, support, and services processes and resources continue to evolve and deliver exceptional performance and responsiveness. Today, with millions of gigabit-enabled subscribers globally, Zhone has the scope and scale of business that allows it to lead markets in which it competes while remaining agile and responsive to change.

Enable Broadband Everywhere with Zhone and Transform Your Network to Be the Agile Service Provider of Tomorrow: Zhone solutions deliver the capacity to be future-ready and the intelligence to glean the actionable insights necessary for new service opportunities, faster response times, and dramatic operational savings. As its customers embrace its edge-focused solutions, Zhone empowers them to establish their competitive edge.

By partnering with Zhone and embracing the company’s market-leading NetworkingOpticalSubscriber and Cloud Edge solutions, our customers will be the technology winners in their markets, with systems and platforms that scale and adapt to the capacity and performance challenges of today and in the future.
