Broadband Stimulus: Public & Municipal Agencies
  Click below for solutions focus >

As part of the Stimulus Plan, cities, counties, and states are proposing building of broadband networks to provide wide availability of broadband across “unserved” and “underserved” areas. The projects are designed to provide reliable, secure, highly available broadband communications services to police, fire, and first responders, enabling critical public safety applications for improved services. The projects are also intended to ensure affordable broadband access to the rural community and anchor institutions like public safety agencies, health care, and education.

To achieve these objectives carriers need to ensure that the networks are designed to deliver the bandwidth that will support the communication needs of the community. It is also necessary that the middle mile networks have the ability to support the last mile broadband services, and this needs to be done most efficiently and expeditiously.

Actelis recognizes that the most compelling way to achieve all these objectives is by optimizing CAPEX and OPEX requirements. Whether the scope of the project includes supporting monitoring and surveillance, building dedicated public safety networks, building or strengthening backhaul and middle mile networks, connecting muti-campus educational institutions, or delivering high-speed last mile solutions, Actelis Networks’ market-leading Ethernet in the First Mile over Bonded Copper solutions can meet your needs. With the ability to provide up to 100 Mbps of symmetrical high-quality Ethernet, TDM and ATM services to businesses or locations only served by copper, Actelis’ ML600 Ethernet Access Devices, Aggregation Platforms, coupled with the industry’s first and most widely deployed XR239 EFM Repeaters, are allowing enterprises, municipalities and other government agencies to expand their broadband service offerings to deliver new revenue-generating broadband services today.

ITS Monitoring and Surveillance
The need for intelligent transportation systems has become a top priority for municipalities across the world to improve traffic monitoring and public safety. One of the core underlying technologies that allow these systems to be networked back to a traffic operations center is Ethernet. Actelis Networks’ ML600 Ethernet Access Devices can significantly reduce the cost of deploying and networking Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) by providing up to 100 Mbps over the existing copper cable that is already in place supporting today’s traffic signal systems. To exploit your existing copper infrastructure utilizing Actelis’ ML600 series of intelligent EADs and our Aggregation Platforms for ITS applications that improve traffic flow and road safety, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions click here.

The widespread availability of IP cameras has sparked a boom in video surveillance around the world, as live and recorded footage can be accessed, displayed, and analyzed anywhere at any time without having to transport and skim, or toggle, through tapes. Internet Protocol (IP) is at last unleashing the potential of video and enabling other types of monitoring devices or sensors to be deployed widely in the field for a variety of surveillance and monitoring applications.

Dedicated Networks                                                                
Many organizations in both the public and private sectors have dedicated networks that need upgrading to provide the extra capacity demanded by new broadband applications. Fiber is usually only viable for the backbone of such networks, with low-speed legacy E1/T1 circuits typically deployed to reach smaller offices and more remote locations. The result is that many offices are prevented from accessing emerging next-generation applications effectively, with serious implications for cost effectiveness and competitiveness.  Fortunately, these access bottlenecks can be relieved quickly and easily by deploying Actelis’ Ethernet over copper solutions to implement carrier Ethernet at full broadband speeds over the existing copper infrastructure.

Backhaul and Middle Mile Applications
The push to implement the “triple play” of broadband Internet access, voice, and video services relies on the capacity provided by the backhaul networks connecting remote DSLAMs/MSAPs/BLCs to the optical Metro networks within the central office. The increased bandwidth required for these applications can no longer be supported with T1/E1 connections, rendering these legacy backhaul networks obsolete.  Once sufficient for backhauling simple, low-speed DSL Internet access, these connections can no longer support advanced high-speed applications. Actelis Networks’ comprehensive product line enables bonding up to eight copper pairs to carry 100 Mbps of symmetrical bandwidth between remote DSLAMs/MSAPs/BLCs in street cabinets in the outside plant, as well as the central office.

As mobile operators deploy HSxPA data services in their networks, the demand for backhaul bandwidth to mobile sites grows at a pace never before seen, with many operators experiencing growth rates in excess of 20% per month, as well as a distinct decoupling of revenue from bandwidth, which is putting immense pressure on OPEX reduction in their networks. Market forces are also driving the switch from TDM-based networks to packet-based networks as traditional E1/T1-based capacity becomes too expensive to support the new bandwidth-hungry applications and services. However, the requirement to support legacy services is not going away, thus creating an access conundrum. Actelis ’ ML600 Ethernet Access Devices provide the solution that mobile operators are looking for: a cost-effective solution that provides efficient transport of both data and circuit traffic, while maintaining the accurate synchronization required in cellular networks.

Last Mile Applications
In today's enterprise environments, the need for high-speed broadband connectivity has dramatically increased. Within campus environments, most buildings need high-speed broadband to the main office that often houses the corporate IT resources and connectivity to the outside world. Multi-location organizations are required to seamlessly communicate and easily share resources between offices. As applications such as voice over IP, video conferencing, fast Internet access, and email usage continue to grow, enterprises need to find cost-effective broadband solutions to meet this increasing bandwidth demand.
Actelis Networks ’ Carrier Ethernet over Copper™ solutions are the most efficient means for extending the reach of broadband Ethernet services to enterprise customers. Using only two pairs of existing voice-grade copper, our solutions deliver in excess of 15 Mbps of high-demand Ethernet service, adequate to support next-generation applications like high-speed Internet access, LAN to LAN connectivity, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and video collaboration. MEF9 and MEF14-certified, Actelis’ solutions, in either Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point configurations, offer standards-based, compliant and secure E-Line and E-LAN services.
