Connecting Communities to the Future
Whether underserved by an incumbent provider, or simply seeking to create a fertile networking infrastructure as a base for economic development, municipalities are deploying fiber-based access systems to interconnect their community’s buildings, rural-based offices, factories, schools, hospitals, and homes with up to 100 Mbps to carry voice, data, and video based services.
Municipalities - Benefits  
Amedia Networks offers a litany of benefits for a community deploying a FTTP access network:
  • Fully open Access Platform: Our Ethernet Switched Optical Network (ESON) solution enables a fully open access platform. With our unique capability to manage the characteristics of each individual VLAN, a large number of geographically disbursed service providers can specify the performance parameters that they need to guarantee service levels to their consumers via the municipality network for each and every service or application.

  • Turn-key Solution: Amedia works closely with engineers and consultants that municipalities can retain to provide a comprehensive turn-key solution. Program Management, a Network Operations Center, Equipment Installation Services, Fiber Selection and Installation, Training … Amedia brings together all of the pieces to turn on the flow of triple play services.

  • Inside Wiring: Amedia has multiple solutions for inside wiring. The PG1000 Premises Gateway supports both “tip and ring” copper interfaces, 100BASE-Tx LAN interfaces, 802.11 wireless access points, and will support a coax-based wiring paradigm. This flexibility can minimize the barriers (and costs) to home or business owners associated with the adoption of advanced services.

  • IP-based Video: Municipalities contemplating the offering of triple play services are increasingly turning to IP-based video. A rapidly growing industry is developing to provide a flexible source for standard and high definition TV, VoD, and other 2-way video services. Amedia’s ESON solution is a pure standards-based Ethernet solution and is the optimal choice to support IP-based video.

  • Lowest Cost Solution: Because the Amedia solution is standards-based Ethernet, it enjoys the rapidly declining cost curve that is the character of mass market consumer electronics. And given the extraordinary range of distances available with our solution (50km northbound from the AS500, and over 40km southbound to the PG1000) there is a significant amount of flexibility in how to deploy the network to minimize cabling costs. This generally translates into the lowest cost solution. There is no need to increase taxes or charge high rates for service in order to provide community information infrastructure.

  • A Truly Hardened Outdoor Premises Gateway Product: The PG1000 is available in an environmentally hardened outdoor enclosure that provides separate, lock-secured access for craft, as well as access for subscribers, and includes a back-up battery, built-in charger, and environmental alarms It is engineered to operate within -40°C to 65°C (-40°F to 149°F)
