Positron MRX Outdoor 8-Port Twisted Pair MIMO G.hn Access Multiplexer

Positron MRX Outdoor 8-Port Twisted Pair MIMO G.hn Access MultiplexerFiber 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, highly disruptive 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

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, highly disruptive 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.
