OFS today announced that it is re-launching the Access ADVANTAGE System, as FOX™ Solution (Fiber Optics to the X). This new name better reflects the broadening diversity of OFS’ FTTX solution for multiple applications.
“The change of name to FOX Solution demonstrates our commitment to consistently expand our FTTX product and solution portfolio to enable our customers to more efficiently support fiber to the business and residence, in addition to serving utilities, windfarms, transportation management, and other fiber to the X applications,” said William Kloss, Executive VP of Marketing & Sales, North America & CALA. “Additionally as we have seen our customer and application base diversifying for this product line, we wanted to accelerate brand recognition with an easily recognized symbol reflective of the acronym for Fiber Optics to the X,” Mr. Kloss added.

It can support ultra high speed video, data, HDTV, voice, online gaming, and many other revenue-generating services.
