Introduction
The GAM is a Fiber to the Distribution Point (FTTDp) solution typically installed
inside a wiring closet. The GAM-8-MX and GAM-4-MX comes with one (1) 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).
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.
