FTTH Products
42Networks provides products for triple-play networks. This puts high
demands for reliability and quality of the hardware and
software. Our DRG Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) series construction allows distribution of multiple services with guaranteed quality.
Internet
The DRG allows
up to 100MBit/s Internet connections with minimal delay due to wirespeed. The multiple LAN
ports also give the end user the possibility of connecting several computers to
the unit. Through features like bandwidth shaping and MAC-address restriction, the
Internet service offering can be differentiated to suite a broad range of operators
and end users.
Broadband Telephony
For broadband telephony, the DRG has 2 in-build FXS POTS
ports. Existing analog telephones or fax machines can thus be connected
directly to the DRG unit to get telephone service. Software supports H.323,
SIP, MGCP and H.248 VoIP protocols enabling DRGs to work in many environments and
systems. Alternatively, IP telephones or VoIP CPE's can be connected to the LAN
ports of the
DRG.
The DRGs prioritization mechanisms guarantee the bandwidth and quality of
voice calls allowing operators to offer first-line telephony.
IPTV
Due to multiple LAN ports, the DRG units are an ideal solution when deploying IP-TV services as each
set-top box requires their own LAN port in the CPE. Software features, like
IGMP snooping, Quality of Service mechanisms and wirespeed further improve the quality of
the IP-TV service.
CaTV
DRG units can be equipped with a
CaTV receiver. The receiver can be used for analogue or digital TV signals. When transmitting analogue
TV signals, no additional set-top boxes or new cabling are required simplifiying the
home installation.
Other services
The DRG supports basically any other service using IP and Ethernet. Some
models also have a serial port for low speed data or control signals.
Remote management
The DRG units are managed remotely and they are designed for plug
and play configuration, both for end users and operators.
For field trials or smaller installations, an in-built web GUI can be used
for configuration. In larger installations, an element management system
is recommended in order to automate the provisioning and configuration process.
The DRG units can be integrated with existing management systems via open
interfaces, such as SNMP or DHCP options. As an
alternative, 42Networks offers own developed HDD management system, which
can be used either as a stand-alone product or integrated with network
management systems.
