Introduction
The GAM is a Fiber to the Distribution Point (FTTDp) solution typically installed
inside a wiring closet. Each GAM comes with two (2) 10 Gigabit SFP+ interfaces
to support any type of fiber or PON standards (using an SFP-based or external
ONT as required that is compatible with the OLT). These SFP+ ports can further
support additional GAM devices in medium to large MDUs and share the fiber
backhaul link.
The ITU-T G.9960 G.hn Wave-2 standard leverages the existing telephone wiring
(UTP, CAT-3 or CAT-5/5e) or RG-6/RG-59 coax cabling to deliver a Gigabit
Internet service to each subscriber without the cost, complexity and delays
associated with in-building fiber installation. G.hn is an Access technology for
Operators looking to simplify their access network and backend infrastructure
with an Ethernet-like technology that is highly scalable without some of the
inherent complexity of DSL-related technologies. With G.hn, Operators deliver
advanced services such as Gigabit High Speed Residential Internet and 4K IPTV
without the high capital and operational expenses associated with a fiber retrofit.
Each G.hn subscriber port supports up to 1.7 Gbps of dynamically allocated
bandwidth for near symmetrical Gigabit services over the existing telephone wire
or coaxial cable. The Positron GAM solution is MEF CE 2.0 compliant and is
ideally suited to deliver Business Ethernet services in an MDU and/or MTU
deployment.
