US telco Medicine Park Telephone Company (based in the state of Oklahoma) has selected Motorola to supply a gigabit passive optical network (GPON) solution for its Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) broadband network.

Motorola has formed a distribution agreement with equipment supplier Power & Tel to reach underserved regions such as Medicine Park with its FTTH solutions.  Motorola's solution will include a fully-integrated RF return path for video delivery, enabling Medicine Park to upgrade data speeds whilst introducing new video offerings that use Motorola's RF set-top boxes.

“Motorola has an unparalleled track record in FTTH networks with customers large and small around the world,” said Edward Hilliary Jr. of Medicine Park.  “We chose to work with Motorola because of its technology and its real-world deployment experience.  We’ve also been impressed with the way Motorola develops evolving technologies, making sure that the network upgrades we make today can support the demands and innovation of tomorrow.”
