The last mile continues to be an obstacle

According to Vertical Systems Group, fiber access deployment is currently limited to only 11.7% of buildings with more than 20 employees, the last mile continues to be an obstacle to the rollout of higher capacity services to most business sites. Reaching beyond the last mile, dominated by E1/G.SHDSL services limited to 2/4Mbps, with more cost effective, higher bandwidth services is a challenge for both Incumbent and Competitive Local Carriers.

Current technologies call for a move to a fiber transmission medium for Metro Ethernet services above 2 to 4Mbps symmetrical throughput, while the cost to dig fiber in the last mile is prohibitive. This is where Mid-Band Ethernet Services, hitting the service sweet spot between 2 and 20Mbps by bonding copper pairs, allows service providers to significantly grow their top-line Metro Ethernet revenue – without the costly fiber investment in the local loop.

Arcadiz Telecom provides solutions that allow Carriers and Service Providers to significantly grow their service revenue by extending the Ethernet service edge beyond the availability of fiber. The last mile solutions of Arcadiz Telecom enable Carriers and Service Providers to offer their full Metro Ethernet service offering over existing copper facilities to address the 88% of business sites where fiber is not available. In addition to Mid-Band Ethernet, other key service applications include Mobile Wireless Backhaul, WiFi and WiMAX Backhaul and DSLAM Backhaul.

Arcadiz Telecom offers a solution bonding economically 4 to 8 pairs to increase distance or throughput.
