The hunger for bandwidth has intensified over the last several years as information technology has been deployed widely to rationalize business processes and to deliver new consumer-oriented services. Businesses are craving bandwidth for uses such as supply chain management, data warehousing and e-commerce. In addition, consumer trends such as telecommuting, interactive entertainment and home networking are driving demand for more bandwidth. These trends are motivating carriers to invest in broadband infrastructure.

Local carriers have been trying to bring broadband to their customers for years. While the long-haul and metro-ring segments of the market have seen significant improvement in both bandwidth capacity and range of services, the edge of the network has been slow to follow. Technical and economic hurdles have inhibited the deployment of cost-effective broadband services in the local access market. The disconnect, therefore, lies in the proverbial last mile.

Salira was founded to address the problems associated with providing cost-effective broadband services in the local access market. Salira's mission is to develop optical solutions that enable carriers to deliver affordable Ultra-High-Speed® Internet access. Salira will deliver cost-effective broadband services to the local access market by combining IP-centric Multi-Services (voice, video and data) and Super Gigabit Ethernet® with PON Optical Transport to deliver the NeoPon Platform® of next-generation Passive Optical Network solutions.

The value proposition for carriers revolves around the ability to deliver cost-effective broadband services in the local access market. The Salira solution: delivers fast payback on investment, enables highly-scalable network build outs, provides flexible remote provisioning, contains robust network management features and an integrated multi-service platform, and leverages investments in existing infrastructure. With NeoPon® technology, carriers will be able to measure return on investment in months instead of years.

Salira is a dynamic company with a uniquely talented technology team which has a proven track record of delivering cutting-edge, carrier-grade products. At Salira, this team has combined to develop product superiority with customer needs in mind.
