Pannaway will be demonstrating its multi-award winning and widely deployed Service Convergence Network (SCN(TM)) access solution for copper and fiber deployments and will announce new customer premise equipment with support for the HomePNA 3/ITU G.9954 standard. This new technology will also be demonstrated in Pannaway's booth. "HomePNA is an emerging technology that has the potential to significantly reduce a telco's operational expenses while enabling them to accelerate the deployment of multimedia broadband services - especially IP TV", said Nicole Klein, Broadband Access Technologies Analyst with Yankee Group. "Access providers that do not have a HomePNA solution are leaving their telco customers behind." Pannaway's RGN-520(TM) (Residential Gateway NID) is a second generation Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) product that provides telcos of all types and sizes with a simplified and highly affordable solution for delivering multiple high-bandwidth video services including standard and high-definition IPTV, Video on Demand (VoD) and Digital Video Recorder See DVR. (DVR) over standard in-home coaxial cable systems. The RGN-520 supports Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (protocol) Session Initiation Protocol - (SIP) A very simple text-based application-layer control protocol. It creates, modifies, and terminates sessions with one or more participants. Such sessions include Internet telephony and multimedia conferences. It is described in RFC 2543. (SIP) and Internet Protocol (IP). The device also boasts five switched or routed RJ-45 10/100 Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area.

RJ-11 VoIP-enabled POTS ports and a single coaxial port making it the most robust and flexible fiber-based residential gateway in its class. Currently deployed and readily available first-generation RGN-510's can be affordably field upgraded to support the HomePNA 3/ITU G.9954 standard preserving existing customer investments. All of Pannaway's premise devices including the RGN-520 can be remotely provisioned, managed and bulk upgraded using Broadband Access Manager (BAM Bam (bäm), town (1996 pop. 70,100), Kerman prov., SE Iran, on the intermittent Bam River.
