Rural Fiber / GPON is complex and expensive.

  • GPON cost model optimized for higher density markets.
  • There exist new solutions to reduce the skills and the time needed to deploy fiber along rural roads, but significant challenges remain to cover the "last few hundred feet from the road" to "inside the home".
  • Resistance to disruption of landscaping, terrain integrity, … still high.
  • Cost and time required (including additional truck roll) to bring fiber inside the home is high with many unknowns.

G.hn allows re-use of existing copper pairs from the nearby serving terminal to the home.

  • G.hn uses a passive GAM powered from the home (RPF) to extend Gigabit services to 800 feet.

Installs in less time than fiber and without disruption.

By attending this webinar, you will learn how G.hn complements fiber and fixed wireless radio in the access network to deliver gigabit services without the need to extend fiber all the way to the home or install FWA antennas and receivers on each home. While G.hn is becoming widely used in MDUs and MTUs, its flexibility and low cost make it the ideal complement in rural and lower density markets. Reusing the existing telephone pairs or coaxial cabling in place, it distributes Gigabit links to 1 or more subscribers for less than the cost of the usual truck roll for a service technician. G.hn is auto configured and supports user self-installation for quick rollout and eliminates the need to enter the premises.

Positron’s G.hn Gigabit Access Multiplexer (GAM) extends fiber or fixed-wireless Gigabit services into existing Multi-Dwelling Units (MDU) over the existing in-building wiring. It provides managed non-blocking symmetrical Gigabit bandwidth services to subscribers with zero-touch provisioning over existing telephone wire or coaxial cable without the need for construction disruption to add in-building fiber at 20% of the cost of any other methodology. This significantly reduces CapEx, provides a high ROI, and enables the fastest time to revenue and increased serviced buildings. The GAM is MEF CE 2.0 compliant and is ideally suited for managed Business Ethernet services to MDUs/MTUs. The GAM outdoor units extend Gigabit services over the outdoor telephone pairs from the fiber junction into SFU homes for neighborhood and RDOF applications.
