G.hn Access Multiplexer (GAM) with 24x Coaxial ports and 2x 10Gbps SFP+ ports, AC 110-220V Power Input

Delivering Gigabit to the Home

Positron G.hn Aggregation Multiplexer Product Family

``Fiber to the Home'' is far from the only and most efficient technology to deliver Gigabit Internet access to subscribers. Retrofitting an existing (brownfield) Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) with fiber is complex and expensive.

With the G.hn Aggregation Multiplexer (GAM), Positron Access addresses the key challenge of delivering Gigabit Internet access to subscribers in MDUs as well as dense Single Family Unit (SFU) homes by leveraging the existing telephone or coaxial infrastructure to deliver near symmetrical Gigabit services at a fraction of the cost of alternatives.

About G.hn

The ITU-T G.9960 G.hn Wave-2 standard is designed to leverage the existing telephone wiring, (UTP, CAT-3 or CAT-5/5e) or RG-6/RG-59 coax cabling to deliver a Gigabit Internet service to each subscriber without the cost, complexity and delays associated with in-building fiber installation. G.hn is used as an Access technology by Operators looking to simplify their access network and backend infrastructure with an Ethernet-like technology that is highly scalable without some of the inherent complexity of DSL-related technologies. With G.hn, Operators deliver advanced services such as Gigabit High Speed Residential Internet and 4K IPTV without the high capital and operational expenses associated with a fiber retrofit. Each G.hn subscriber port supports up to 1.7 Gbps of dynamically allocated bandwidth for near symmetrical Gigabit services over the existing telephone wire or coaxial cable. The Positron GAM solution is MEF CE 2.0 compliant and is ideally suited to deliver Business Ethernet services in an MDU and/or MTU deployment.

G.hn is a Proven Carrier-Grade Access Technology

G.hn is widely used by large Operators in multiple markets where it provides Gigabit services into MDU of all sizes as well as for residential neighborhoods. These Operators leverage the robustness of G.hn and its predictable bandwidth to scale to large deployments that complement their investment in their PON infrastructure. As is the case with other ITU DSL and PON standards, G.hn offers extensive management and troubleshooting features and capabilities to simplify its deployment, activation and support. These management capabilities cover all operational aspects, from dealing with wiring issues to service-aware QoS and bandwidth management. The G.hn ecosystem is very solid and includes verified interoperability between the three (3) main chipset vendors based on extensive testing by the University of New Hampshire (UNH) lab.

About the Positron G.hn Access Multiplexer (GAM)

The Positron GAM leverages a non-blocking CE 2.0 Carrier Ethernet Core ASIC to reliably deliver managed Gigabit services. The GAM is a Fiber to the Distribution Point (FTTDp) solution that is typically installed inside a wiring closet. Each GAM comes with two (2) 10 Gigabit SFP+ interfaces to support any type of fiber or PON standards (using an ONT as required). These SFP+ ports are also used to support additional GAM devices in medium to large MDUs and share the fiber backhaul link.
