Optical Zonu Corporation Recognized with Prestigious International Trade Award by LA Chamber of Commerce

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- As part of World Trade Week (WTW) Optical Zonu has been selected as a recipient of the Los Angeles Chamber's coveted Export Achievement Award.

For 94 years, World Trade Week, an initiative of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, has been the most extensive program of its kind. WTW educates the public on the importance and benefits of global trade within the local and national economy through a series of educational programs and events.

World Trade Week is the most extensive and unique program of its kind in the country. WTW was initiated in 1926 by Stanley T. Olafson, the manager of the World Trade Department of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. It was made a national observance by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935. The series of events and programs held serve to focus attention on the contribution of international commerce to the region's economy.

Each year, the World Trade Week Southern California Awards Committee selects candidates for various award categories in order to recognize their significant accomplishments and contribution in the region's development of global trade.

On Wednesday Sept 16th from 10AM - 11:15 AM Optical Zonu's Co-Founders, CEO Meir Bartur and CTO Farzad Ghadooshahy will be joined on a blue ribbon panel (Zoom Webinar) by other WTW award winners for a dynamic conversation and to hear how they have achieved success in a competitive global landscape and supported a vital economic driver in the region. For information on how to attend this unique program please contact the LA Chamber at https://www.lachamber.com/.

This will be followed by a formal program on September 22, this typically live event will be held virtually this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Optical Zonu Corporation is honored to be recognized for our efforts and the international recognition of our Made in California products. We are proud of our continued global growth," stated Optical Zonu Co-Founder and CEO Meir Bartur.

Cost-Effective GPS Distribution Over Fiber – GPS Fiber Transport Optimized for C-RAN

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Optical Zonu Corp, a U.S. carrier-approved supplier of RF-Over-Fiber transport solutions and fiber monitored digital transport, has released a version of their GPS Fiber Transport specifically designed for providing the GPS connectivity for C-RAN hubs. This feature now offers 8 and 16 outputs with optional auto-switchover redundancy.

The new versions minimize the hardware needed for GPS distribution while ensuring the final connections to the BBUs are still short, lightweight RF jumpers.

According to Gary Grimes, Director of Sales for Optical Zonu's RF over Fiber division, "Even with auto-redundancy this solution allows the wireless network engineers to provide all the needed GPS connectivity to their BBUs using lightweight optical fiber instead of heavy coaxial cable - all at a price competitive with legacy active coaxial splitters."

Optical Zonu's GPS Fiber Transport has been deployed extensively throughout all wireless networks. This popular solution features a compact design, simplicity of installation and a patented optical alarm reporting which allows carriers the ability to monitor the status of their remote antennas and fiber links by way of their current base station equipment and Network Management System.

Unlike other fiber transport solutions, it does this without the need for a dedicated SNMP link to some browser-based application, thereby offering carriers a truly seamless, "drop in" solution for both GPS-fiber-transport and antenna failure monitoring.

"This is a real improvement on our recently patented technology, it demonstrates that our technology team is always forward looking so we can consistently innovate, develop and offer cutting edge industry solutions," said Meir Bartur, CEO of Optical Zonu.

Features:
* Supports all GPS frequencies internationally
* Rugged Fiber Transmitter for indoor or outdoor mounting
* Full redundancy - dual transports from antenna to receiver with automatic switchover after ANY single point of failure
* Each system supports one or two GPS antenna paths
* Supports high level of optical and RF splitting for easy, cost-effective routing of GPS for C-RAN hubs and base station hotels
* Operates on backed up base station power or dual AC power supplies
* Simple to install - no adjustments, no software.
