Aethra Telecommunications in Cooperation With ADTRAN Demonstrates the First Reverse Powered G.Fast Multi Port FTTdp System at Broadband World Forum

ANCONA, Italy, October 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Aethra Telecommunications and ADTRAN will demonstrate the first G.Fast Reverse Powered Fiber-to-the-Distribution-Point multi-port systems at Broadband World Forum 2014. ADTRAN will demonstrate one of its 500G series G.fast Distribution Point Unit (DPU) systems featuring the Aethra Telecommunications patent pending Reverse Power Sharing technology. This will allow operators the possibility to fully rely on the benefits of the Fiber-to-the-Distribution-Point (FTTdp) architecture with Reverse Power Feeding.

The Aethra Telecommunications Reverse Power Sharing technology is the result of Aethra Telecommunications pioneering experience on the Fiber-to-the-Distribution-Point architectures and Reverse Power Feeding technology:

• ultra compact size design, with minimized space occupation of the powering subsystem
• full G.Fast fiber like gigabit speeds, with zero impact of reverse powering on G.Fast performances
• perfect power balancing between the users "at-DPU-side", regardless of the distance between the user and the DPU
• optimized power efficiency, in order to offer the possibility to still be able to power the entire DPU with just one RPF
• total separation and independence of each one of the lines
• full self install system according to the FTTdp paradigm and safety regulations in the home of the customer
• digital monitoring and management of the line status

An ADTRAN 500G series G.fast DPU and the Aethra Telecommunications RPS8 Reverse Power Sharing modules will be demoed at the Amsterdam Broadband World Forum 2014 Oct 21-23 at ADTRAN stand E30 and Aethra Telecommunications stand G50.
