Aktino's New AKflex TDM/ATM/Ethernet Solution Delivers 90+ Mbps of Cell Site or DSLAM Backhaul Capacity.IRVINE, Calif. -- Meeting carriers' needs for generating more bandwidth from their existing copper infrastructure, Aktino today introduced a flexible new 90+ Mbps product that features new AKflex capability, allowing it to be used to transport either DS3 TDM/ATM or Carrier Ethernet. It gives providers the adaptable solution they need to support network evolution strategies, but minimizes the investment required to do so. Aktino, the leader in delivery of Carrier Ethernet and broadband services See broadband and broadband service provider. over bonded copper, will show the new product for the first time at NXTcomm in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. June 17-19, where Aktino is in Booth SL 1012. The robust solution, which combines features from Aktino's DS3 and Carrier Ethernet over copper product lines, helps carriers address three key applications with maximum flexibility: Carrier Ethernet services, DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) A central office (CO) device for ADSL service that intermixes voice traffic and DSL traffic onto a customer's DSL line. It also separates incoming phone and data signals and directs them onto the appropriate carrier's network. See DSL. backhaul, and cell site backhaul. The new product delivers either a DS3 or up to 90+ Mbps of Carrier Ethernet bandwidth throughout the entire CSA (1) (Canadian Standards Association, Toronto, Ontario, www.csa.ca) A standards-defining organization founded in 1919. It is involved in many industries, including electronics, communications and information technology. (Carrier Serving Area or 12,000 feet) and beyond. It switches from a DS3 to Carrier Ethernet product and back via a simple user command. For carriers, it offers a choice of providing asymmetric services to cover their entire CSA with bandwidth of up to 90+ Mbps, or symmetric services of up to 90+ Mbps at shorter reaches. "Asymmetric services, in which carriers offer far more bandwidth downstream than they do upstream, is ideal for many applications, such as DSLAM or cell site backhaul," said Hossam Salib, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Aktino. "By adjusting the bandwidth to the specific needs of the application, carriers can achieve nearly 8 Mbps per copper pair throughout the CSA, which is 10 times more than legacy HDSL See DSL. HDSL - High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line technologies. "This solution gives carriers fiber impact on a copper budget, in the form of a cost-effective solution that supports their network migration strategies." Salib added that in tandem Adv. 1. in tandem - one behind the other; "ride tandem on a bicycle built for two"; "riding horses down the path in tandem" tandem with this solution, Aktino is introducing an updated version of its 8-pair Ethernet solution, which provides 50 Mbps symmetric bandwidth at up to 5,000-foot reaches. By configuring the product in asymmetric mode, a carrier can double the downstream bandwidth over Aktino's already high symmetric MIMO-on-DMT (Multiple Input, Multiple Out on Discrete Multi-Tone Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) describes a version of multicarrier DSL modulation in which incoming data is collected and then distributed over a large number of small individual carriers, each of which uses a form of QAM modulation. ) bandwidth, and more than quadruple quad·ru·ple adj. 1. Consisting of four parts or members. 2. Four times as much in size, strength, number, or amount. 3. Music Having four beats to the measure. n. the bandwidth provided by G.SHDSL A DSL technology from the ITU (G.991.2) that provides symmetric transmission from 192 Kbps to 2.3 Mbps using a single copper pair, depending on distance from the central office (from 20,000 ft. to 6,500 ft.). With two wire pairs, 384 Kbps to 4.6 Mbps can be achieved. G. . Aktino is the only bonded copper solution vendor that offers asymmetric bandwidth capability. With the ability to switch from DS3 to Ethernet, the AKflex functionality enables a particularly cost-effective migration strategy for carriers from ATM- and TDM-based networks to Ethernet, since there is no need to change the hardware. This latest offering continues Aktino's reputation for providing cost-effective solutions to carriers' needs both today and for as long as they want to continue leveraging their copper infrastructure in areas where fiber is unavailable or impractical. About Aktino Aktino provides carrier-class bonded copper solutions that enable ILEC's to respond to customer hunger for bandwidth fast and network-wide by leveraging their considerable in-place copper loop infrastructure. Aktino invented MIMO-on-DMT technology for the copper loop environment because of its superiority over earlier G.SHDSL approaches. In so doing, Aktino gave ILECs a real ability to postpone many fiber deployment investments and still remain very competitive in their service offering as well as drive their broadband service revenues.
