Actelis Networks’ Carrier Ethernet over Copper™ solutions have advanced multi-subscriber switching features that create an intelligent Ethernet access edge uniquely suited for MTUs and other office building applications. Actelis’ ML600 series of Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) enable carriers to build private enterprise-wide Ethernet networks for the business subscribers. Scalability, Quality of Service (QoS), subscriber isolation and privacy features enable service providers to safely and reliably combine multiple subscribers on a common access switch located in an MTU or office park. By combining multiple subscribers on a single access switch, service providers can maximize the revenue from the Ethernet access line connecting the MTU with the CO or co-location facility.

Hierarchical QoS and ingress bandwidth profile controls let service providers capitalize on the revenue potential on a given link by allowing subscribers share excess bandwidth among them. In many cases, service providers can significantly over-subscribe the access uplink yet still meet subscriber Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The “bursty” nature of Ethernet data traffic makes it possible to resell the same access bandwidth to multiple subscribers, maximizing service revenue and minimizing deployment costs.

Actelis Networks is the only Ethernet over Copper access solution company with intelligent access EADs that are able to provide this level of subscriber consolidation within an MTU. While other Metro Ethernet switch products can enable this, none have the advanced Ethernet service management features combined with an integrated Ethernet over copper access platform in a single managed Ethernet access switch.

Advantages
    • Seamlessly extends the reach of Metro Ethernet access services to 100% of the subscribers in a providers serving area.
      • Immediate deployment without the expense or delay associated with new fiber trenching.
    • Compliant with IEEE EFM 802.3ah and Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) certified switching features ensures compatibility, interoperability and scalability.
    • Support for Ethernet virtual circuits provide subscriber isolation and privacy, enabling multiple subscribers to share common equipment at both the access edge and within the CO safely and reliably.
    • Increase the revenue from each Ethernet access line by combining multiple subscribers on the same circuit without jeopardizing individual subscriber SLAs.

    The branch office LANs, typically running at 10/100 Mbps, can be directly connected with the corporate Ethernet network for the first time. By replacing the legacy T1/E1 circuits and at the same time increasing the bandwidth between the branch offices and headquarters LAN enterprises can reduce IT costs and reduce the complexity of the inter-branch connections. Along with the boost in performance for existing high-speed Internet access and data connectivity the extra bandwidth provided by the Ethernet service lets enterprises deploy new broadband applications such as video conferencing and IP telephony to branch offices. Additional IT cost savings are achieved by centralizing key applications such as email, file backup and database replication to gain further operational cost savings.
