Compelling Broadband for Businesses
You’ve been analyzing the right networking solution to win business customers, and have concluded that your current cable modem solution will just not get you there. Security, reliability, scalability … without them, you’re not ready for this market segment. We can help.
Cable / MSOs - Benefits  
Amedia’s ESON based FTTP solution is the ideal vehicle for Cable Companies to successfully enter into the business access marketplace.
  • Standards-based Ethernet: The standards-based switched Ethernet solution is perfect for interconnecting with what are most likely to be Ethernet-based LANs within the enterprise. Using a single transport protocol can eliminate “cell taxes,” management complexity, and HW/SW costs.

  • High Levels of Security: Security issues are addressed on numerous planes. First, the choice of fiber eliminates the ability to tap or otherwise eavesdrop by proximal contact with the access medium. Separate craft access to Amedia’s outside version of its PG1000 Premises Gateway is another consideration. The fundamental choice of topology can eliminate a significant degree of vulnerability. Something as simple as eliminating “broadcast and select” by adopting the Amedia Networks ESON architecture can go a long way in addressing security concerns. Also, SNMP v.3 is used – both north-bound and south-bound – for additional security.

  • Bandwidth Management: An extensive set of options in how Amedia’s products are deployed enables a huge amount of flexibility. Multiple levels of fractional bandwidth can be centrally managed via the QoStream™ Director.

  • Quality of Services: QoS can be met by providing the operator with the ability to manage multiple flows for applications within the premise. Capabilities like service classification, double VLAN tagging, tunneling, and filtering can be implemented by Amedia Networks to enable the highest levels of QoS control.

  • Reliability: Amedia Networks’ reliability is derived, in part, from Ethernet Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad) which allows for multiple redundant links between adjacent nodes. Traffic from multiple physical links can be aggregated into a single logical link during normal operation. In the event of a link failure, QoStream™ technology now allows for the data from the failed link to be sent through the surviving link(s) to ensure a sub-50ms restoration.

  • Reduced Expenses: The AS5000 Aggregation Switch were designed for carrier class reliability and availability for maximum utilization. The AS5000 Aggregation Switch is also available in a hardened version for Outside Plant (OSP) applications. Capex and Opex are greatly reduced by eliminating controlled environments and lowering power requirements.

  • Craft-friendly: The PG1000 Premises Gateway is available in a hardened version for mounting outside the customer location. This configuration allows for 7x24 access to the network demarcation, and reduces installation and maintenance time. We provide a weather-proof enclosure which houses the gateway, an 8 hour battery, and a battery charger all contained in a locked compartment. And this Gateway is designed to use as little as 18 watts of power.
