Motorola has sold its fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) product family to Communications Test Design Inc., effective July 2. The companies say the transaction will enable them to focus on technologies that will grow their businesses and position their customers for success in the long term.
Motorola's FTTN product line was first made available in 1998. As an early triple-play solution, the Multi-Service Access Platform is credited with being the first widely deployed video-over-DSL solution in the North American Telco TV market - the forerunner to the current IPTV.
For its part, Motorola says it’s committed to delivering on customers' expectations without disruption or distraction. CTDI says the acquisition of Motorola's FTTN products is strategic to its rapid growth and leadership position in the Connected Home services arena, where the company continues to expand its service offering as delivered through its footprint of 42 global operations across 11 countries.
