Fiber Extension over Coax

Leverage Your Existing Wiring to Get Gigabit at Minimum Cost

Giga Access Solutions for Cable Operators and MSOs

FirstMile G.hn access solution is designed to leverage the existing coax wiring to deliver a Gigabit internet service to each subscriber without the complexity and delays associated with in-building fiber installation. It enables Cable Operators and MSOs to deliver advanced services such as Gigabit high-speed residential internet and 4K IPTV, and without the high capital investment, construction, disruption and operational expenses associated with a fiber retrofit.
G.hn access solution helps Cable Operators and MSOs provide Gigabit services across brownfield sectors over pre-existing wiring, including Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs), Townhouses and Garden Homes, the Hospitality industry and Single Family Units (SFUs), hotels, shopping mall, etc.

How?

G.hn technology allows all subscribers inside an DPU access to the same services as Single Family homes served exclusively with XGS-PON.

FirstMile G.hn Access Solution is composed with DPU and CPE, DPU can be placed in pole, wall, manhole, pedestal, pit, basement, floor, loft, CPE is usually placed in the home.

G.hn co-exist with TV Network

Network 1. Fiber Access Extension in a Cable-TV network environment

Network 2. Fiber Access Extension in a Satellite-TV network environment

Network 3. Fiber Access Extension in a Terrestrial-TV network environment

Network 4. Fixed Wireless Access in a Cable-TV network environment

Network 5. Fixed Wireless Access in a Satellite-TV network environment

Network 6. Fixed Wireless Access in a Terrestrial-TV network environment

Benefits

• Ultra-high speed over existing coaxial cable, access to the same services as PON subscribers
• Reduce time to service and save over 40% vs. pulling new cables
• The lowest CAPEX, the highest ROI, the same ARPU as fiber
• Eliminate infrastructure barriers, risks, disruption and costs
• Expand new business areas, such as IPTV, Wi-Fi, cloud storage
• Performance higher than any other EOC technologies

G.hn Based Giga Access Solution Vs Docsis

G.hn 200MHz	DOCSIS
Pay-as-you grow architecture much lower cost	Expensive head-end equipment, initial investment is huge
Symmetrical uplink and downlink bandwidth	Uplink bandwidth is much smaller than downlink bandwidth
Lightweight architecture, scalability & expandability	Heavyweight architecture, overkill and complicated
No need to reallocation TV frequency	Radio frequency reallocation
Less spectrum for Gigabit (3.5~200MHz)	Wide spectrum for Gigabit (54MHz~1794MHz)
Small investment, Short deploy term	Very expensive, Long time to rollout

Fiber to the “Economical Point” is necessary in order to achieve an optimal allocation of resources,
it could require to place a DPU in harsh environments (outdoor) where local power source is not available. First Mile G.hn Distribution Point Unit (DPU) family now includes outdoor version, which is specially designed for deployment in harsh environments. The outdoor DPU is ruggedized in an IP67 enclosure with K.45 surge protection and can be reversed powered based on IEEE 802.3at PoE mechanism by the CPE while leveraging the existing wiring infrastructure to save time and money.
