Summer is coming and that means more ADSL trouble reports. Be prepared with a permanent solution. Now that the weather has gotten warmer, you are probably getting more support calls from the customers that you installed last winter. Warm weather increases the resistance of outdoor cable and will turn those customers that barely complied with your service plan into customers that are just outside the plan. Why not give them a speed boost with an ADSL loop extender or ipTV booster? |

 Slowly but surely we are getting recognized for our ADSL loop extender. Here is an excerpt from Telephony's March Magazine: 'Another little-known company, Widearea Communication Technologies, promises to boost DSL signals with an ADSL loop extender and an “IPTV booster” that it claims extends the range of DSL by 30% to 50%. Widearea's small, inexpensive gear is “refreshing in its simplicity,” said Kermit Ross, a consultant with Millennium Marketing — especially considering the mix of new technologies and new standards being developed to completely rethink how copper access networks are built.'

This document outlines the cabinet housing the AER800-8pB-i or AER800-8p-i for use in the U.S. The AER800 series is a repeater for ADSL services improving reach for broadband customers and improving rate and performance for ipTV services. It is installed by the telephone technician somewhere near 6kft (24AWG) from the C.O. The solution is designed to allow ADSL2+ loop extenders or boosters now, yet have the flexibility to replace boosters with a DSLAM later when fiber becomes available. The product is 50% US content to comply with buy American program. |

Does your greenfield Fiber to the Home business plan depend on new home sales? Last year US telco's were all talking about Fiber to the Home. This was driven by a rapidly growing housing sector that was creating lots of the “greenfield” customers that are needed to make fiber to the home prove in. Now, with the housing sector in a serious recession, that "green" field seems to be drying up fast. [1] With most of the “brownfield” market already tapped for ADSL [2], Telco's now seem to be interested in extending ADSL to those semi-rural areas that have never been important before. Your rural and suburban customers can be an important growth area this year. ADSL Loop extenders are the perfect way to get new customers with a minimal cash outlay. |
IPTV BoosterIPTV service has been growing rapidly and the telecom industry has been searching for the best way to deliver higher speeds and a more stable video signal for IPTV service. After the success of their ADSL loop extender worldwide, Widearea has researched and developed a brand-new product especially for improving IPTV service on an ADSL loop, called AER800 Series B IPTV booster. Our ADSL loop extender works exceptionally well for reaching distant customers with ADSL2+ service. Similarly, the IPTV Booster is intended for boosting speed at closer distances where you need the highest possible bandwidth. This product will allow you to double the number of subscribers that you can reach while offering more consistent high bandwidth services to your existing customers. The IPTV Booster is an active element installed in the outside loop plant. It operates as an amplifier that amplifies and equalizes the signal. This product is ideal for accelerating ipTV Services, boosting ADSL2+ bandwidth to 10-20 Mibits. To expand the distance of your services beyond your current service boundaries, we recommend the AER800 ADSL Loop Extender. |

 ADSL2+ Bandwidth Estimator
TELCO CUSTOMERS -- Need a quick way to make a go - no go decision on providing ADSL service to your customers? Use our free ADSL2+ Bandwidth Calculator to tell you what bandwidth the customer will receive. Put in the length and gauge of each wire section and it will tell you the bandwidth you can deliver to that customer. You can fine tune the result by entering aerial vs. buried, air temperature and SNR Margin. If the installer doesn't get the result predicted, the tool shows ohms and attenuation for each wire section so you can narrow down the problem without calling in the TDR test set! Naturally, it will tell you how much bandwidth you will gain with a loop extender too! Go to ADSL2+ Bandwidth Estimator to download this tool. Keep it on your desk top. |
