Broadband accelerators are used to help increase a broadband connection and not are only easy to use, but easy to set up. A broadband accelerator is essentially the bridge of the digital divide; where copper infrastructure exists, so too can broadband services.
Actelis (News - Alert) offers broadband accelerators (BBAs) that use existing copper-based infrastructures and provide higher bandwidth, or, broadband services where little to none were previously available.
“Our broadband acceleration technology is tantamount to a winning formula for carriers. It helps them immediately bridge the digital divide by leveraging their existing infrastructure, minimizing capital and operating costs, reducing customer churn, reaching new customers with broadband services, and generating additional revenue,” said Vivek Ragavan, president and CEO of Actelis upon receiving 2012 NGN Leadership Award earlier this year.
The company’s line of BBAs increase the reach of ADSL services by more than 50 percent, including boosting rates by as much as 100 percent on typical loops and more than 400 percent on longer loops.
According to the company, carriers can meet the goals of government mandates on broadband delivery while rapidly growing revenue through the delivery of additional services, like IPTV (News - Alert) and OTT video to their customers. By providing cost-effective delivery of broadband services to virtually every location throughout a carrier’s footprint, Actelis’ BBAs deliver on the promise of “If you’ve got dial tone, you’ve got broadband!”
Highlights and benefits of Actelis’ BBAs include being able to extend the reach of ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ services and overcome reach and bandwidth limitations while using current infrastructure.
It’s a reliable solution because its hardware bypass provides POTS (plain old telephone system) protection in the event of a failure, and above all, it is easy to install and manage. The BBAs are all plug and play devices that do not require additional power supplies or configuration changes.
Using Actelis BBAs can help boost broadband and increase DSL penetration rates in underserved and unserved communities, according to the company.
