QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"Public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation."
 
 ~Margaret Chase Smith
QUICK LINKS
TECH CORNER

 

Remember the term "DSL" or Digital Subscriber Line? This term was typically used by phone companies describing a high speed data link from end user to CO (central office) for high speed internet access.

 

While seeing lesser use for remote internet access, DSL is still a widely used technology and is now offered to the Traffic sector as a low-cost alternative to fiber. Actelis manufactures the most reliable DSL technology on the market and serve as a great solution when migrating older serial devices to an IP world.

 

Benefits of Actelis DSL:

 

  • 1/3rd cost of fiber
  • Use existing copper lines
  • Long distance opportunities
  • Integrated IP offerings
  • "Managed" offerings
  • High reliability and MTBF rating

To learn more about utilizing the Actelis ML600 product line to maximixe legacy copper cabeling, please view this Actelis ML698 product flyer . Use may also view the attached actual data network document  from Brown Traffic to further see how existing copper cable can be utilized.
