Actelis Networks - An Overview of High Performance Broadband over Copper
Actelis Networks specialises in high performance broadband over copper solutions that provide reliable Ethernet service and broadband access. Reaching locations more quickly, cost effectively, and easily using copper, the Actelis portfolio also complements and extends traffic off fibre networks. Founded in 1998 and based in Silicon Valley, Actelis has over 350 customers in 45 countries worldwide, and has been recognized as the leader in copper-based Ethernet Access Device. Actelis technology includes G.SHDSL and VDSL-based EFM over copper solutions that use bonded copper to logically combine multiple twisted pairs to enable reliable, high performance, and cost effective transport of high speed Ethernet services. Actelis’ VDSL and ADSL Broadband Amplifiers (the VBA and ABA) enable service operators to offer broadband customers more bandwidth and to reach more of those customers, using their installed base of DSLAM equipment regardless of vendor. Actelis also makes Industrial Ethernet switches that are environmental hardened, reliable, and designed to fit and mount into tight enclosures and vaults using DIN rails.
Actelis’ broadband over copper solutions are an enabler for telecom service providers, municipalities and state government, utilities, pipeline, and railways, and the network integrators that serve them. Actelis enables its customers to get more high performance, reliable and scalable broadband bandwidth to more location. Their technology enhances the ability of copper to make higher speed transmission possible. This allows service operators to build broadband more cost effectively, quickly, and easily using copper than they could with fibre, more easily than they could with microwave, and more reliably and over greater distances than they can with other wireless solutions.
Actelis’ solutions address network applications including MEF CE2.0 Carrier Ethernet services for Enterprise and government customers, backhauling IP traffic from Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) networks, surveillance cameras, and telemetering applications. They provide backhaul of WiFi, cellular, and DSLAM traffic, provide track-side communication for railway operators, sensors, positive train control systems, and cameras, and amplifying VDSL and ADSL-based residential broadband services.
Actelis makes copper what it should be: a strategic asset with the strongest business case for taking more high performance and reliable broadband bandwidth to more places. Actelis’ broadband over copper portfolio available from Lanode, includes a full suite of cost-optimized Ethernet First Mile (EFM) over copper CPE/Ethernet Access Devices and aggregation switches, broadband amplifiers, and repeaters.
