The CEO Connection With
2007 coming to a close, I'd like to thank all of you for your support during
the past year. During the year we broadened our technology and products to
ensure that we have the solution you need to grow your businesses. Occam is
the only manufacturer that can deliver point-to-point FTTx, and GPON FTTx
solutions, delivered over resilient 10GigE aggregation rings all from a
single chassis with the simplicity, flexibility and scalability that you
need. We also made a commitment to becoming the leader in IP based multi
service access as we've illustrated with the development and acquisition of
our new GPON fiber technology. As we worked through a challenging time during our Audit
Committee review, you were all remarkably supportive, and we are grateful for
your loyalty. During this period your support enabled us to continue to move
forward, to expand our product line, to grow the company and to stay true to
our mission. I am delighted that the audit has been completed with all our
revenue from 2003-2005 being validated, and that the SEC has decided that no further
review or action is required. As we move into 2008, we remain committed to delivering
innovative solutions to your most pressing telecommunications challenges –
products and solutions that will continue to be the industry's simplest to
install, deploy and manage. We
remain committed to our vision: the simplest solution is the best. And we remain committed to you. Happy Holidays! Bob

in the last one. The dropping costs of fiber deployments and the low
maintenance costs of passive outside plant make GPON a good investment. But
something else will drive the rapid growth of GPON: IP-HDTV on demand. Learn

triple play access. Watch
