Terms of the multiyear agreement were not disclosed. Verizon plans to launch video services on its FTTP networks next year. Verizon's FTTP build-out currently encompasses nine states. Motorola will also provide project integration and operational services. Motorola recently acquired passive optical network vendor Quantum Bridge in order to provide optical access products for carriers' fiber build-outs. Motorola also provides digital video head-end technology, which is deployed in more than 2,060 systems worldwide, and transport infrastructure, access and consumer premises equipment, including cable set-top boxes and modems. Verizon's selection of Motorola follows SBC's selection of Alcatel as the integrator for its $6 billion fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) build-out. Alcatel will also provide end-to-end video integration services for SBC's FTTN project under a five-year, $1.7 billion contract. SBC's FTTN deployment, called Project Lightspeed, is designed to deliver high-speed broadband services, IP voice and wireless bundles of products to 18 million households by year-end 2007. Verizon plans to pass 3 million homes with FTTP infrastructure by the end of 2005. _______________________________________________________________ To contact: Jim Duffy Jim Duffy is managing editor of Network World's service provider equipment coverage <http://www.nwfusion.com/edge/>.
