This is true more-so for multiple-tenant units (MTU) than in any other network area. Space limitations and varying building layouts offer some unique challenges. Brownfield installations can require technicians to become creative with fiber routing. Network designs in greenfield buildings must focus on future-proofing the network as well as lowering the cost of maintenance. Once the MTU is built, the ability to provide simple, fast, non-disruptive upgrades and maintenance is imperative. For each of these, no one fiber network design will fit all. The model of a re-enterable pathway is the best option from a deployment and maintenance perspective. With that, common themes and similar product concepts/solutions can be utilized. Combining Clearfield FieldShield pathways with FieldShield fiber assemblies and WaveSmart optical components provide a comprehensive portfolio of field-tested solutions designed to reduce the costs associated with fiber deployment and management. Making sure service availability is never compromised. FieldShield microduct provides a rugged pathway that allows the pre-connectorized fiber to be pushed or pulled in easily. Eliminate the need to splice with pre-connectorized drops, saving time and money. This also means no added costs to equip each technician with fusion splicers. Additionally, because of its high column strength, FieldShield Microducts can be deployed as a rod directly within a larger occupied duct that was previously thought exhausted. WaveSmart components can aid in those areas where fiber is scarce. m Learn more about Power & Tel’s full range of products and services: visit ptsupply.com or email info@ptsupply.com or visit Table 10. WAV, MBSI WAV and Last Mile Gear, full-service distributors of LTE, wireless broadband, networking, and Wi-Fi equipment, and Positron Access Solutions, the manufacturer of carrier grade products that extend Gigabit wireless services to residential multi-dwelling units (MDUs), and business multi-tenant units (MTUs), announced distribution partnerships to supply Positron’s G.hn Gigabit Access Multiplexers (GAM) through their channels across North America. With this agreement, WAV will provide presales engineering, stocking, network design and post-sales services for Positron’s GAM product portfolio to enable ISPs to provide a scalable and cost-effective solution to extend Gigabit services in MDUs, MTUs, and public buildings over existing in-building wiring. Adding Positron’s GAM to WAV, MBSI WAV and Last Mile Gear’s portfolio of products will enable its customers to increase ROI, get the fastest time to revenues and increase market share at a fraction of the cost to install fiber. The GAM delivers managed real-time symmetrical Gigabit speeds without rewiring to 800 feet on telco pairs or to 2,600 feet on coax. The GAM provides the same ARPU as fiber, installs in hours and is profitable from day one even with minimal initial subscriber take rates. It is the ideal solution to take advantage of the FCC ruling that provides open access to the wiring in all multi-tenant buildings. “WAV, MBSI WAV and Last Mile Gear are excited to offer Positron’s GAM solution to our valued partners in the United States, Canada and Caribbean,” said Bob Nelson, WAV’s COO. “The ability to offer Gigabit speeds in schools, hotels, historic buildings and MDUs where re-wiring is not an option is an absolute game-changer. Positron rounds out our portfolio of networking and WLAN solutions to provide our MSP, reseller and integrator partners a wide breadth of connectivity options.” Positron Access Solutions’ President and CTO Pierre Trudeau added, “These partnerships will enable innovative service providers to leap forward with a competitive edge and provide their subscribers with the best-of-breed internet services they demand quickly, cost effectively and without construction disruption.” m For more information, visit WAV, MBSI WAV & Last Mile Gear at booth #200.
