:AANI), a provider of home gateways and switched Ethernet An Ethernet network that is controlled by a switch instead of a shared hub. The switch cross connects all clients, servers and network devices, giving each sending-receiving pair the full rated transmission speed.  ultra-broadband solutions, today announced the introduction of the Industry's most versatile and efficient solution for telephone companies seeking to provide Triple Play services to the approximately 24% of U.S. households living in Multiple Dwelling Units. With Amedia's MDUstream(TM) solution, service providers can deliver voice over IP, broadband data, and IP Video services over an optical fiber to a building complex, and then further distribute those services to each individual living unit via existing intra-building telephone wires or other media. Amedia's solution eliminates the need for disruptive and expensive re-cabling of that building in order for telephone companies to provide their subscribers with Triple Play services.

The availability of 100Mbps both to and from each subscriber over, for example, the existing telephone wires means that each living unit could obtain services for multiple High Definition Televisions, High Definition Digital Video Recorders, IP or regular telephones, and computers or other data devices with either wired or wireless connections. The availability of an "upstream" 100 Mbps means that subscribers could send video - including the High Definition video content increasingly available with the proliferation of low-cost consumer HD Camcorders - to others on the broadband network. It also provides the flexibility for building managers to deploy a wide range of video channels of local interest to the building's residents.

MDUstream is a modular solution that terminates Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub.  on a newly released version released version - release  of Amedia's AS5000 in the basement, the roof-top or other location within a building, and then distributes this bandwidth over existing media that might exist in that building, including telephone wires (using VDSL See DSL.

The modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities.  of the solution allows a service provider to incur only the costs associated with just the line cards necessary to serve their current share of the residents of a given building. A newly released version of Amedia's PG1000 Premises Gateway in each living unit can integrate all of the functions of a VDSL2 modem, a broadband router, a wireless access point, a telephone access point, and several other Local Area Network (LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area.

On average, about 24% of U.S. prospective subscribers live in MDUs, with that percentage being as much as 61% in the New York metropolitan area New York–Northern New Jersey–Long Island is the most populous metropolitan area in the United States and the third most populous in the world, after Tokyo and Mexico City.  and 40% in the Los Angeles area. MDUstream now enables telephone companies to provide the same service capabilities to subscribers living in MDUs as they do in their Fiber-to-the-Home system, but over the existing copper wire telephone lines or other media already in place within the building.

This segment, the MDUs, is too large and too significant to leave on the table for very long."
