Introduction
Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) refers to the use of Ethernet starting at the customer
premises in subscriber access networks. The family of EFM-based Network Extenders
provide an extremely flexible and easy to use solution for providing Ethernet based
services to subscribers throughout the service provider’s network.
SNE2000G provider and subscriber units can be used in a back to back deployment to
provide a point to point configuration. This allows broadband service providers to deploy
single DSL lines economically when required for low density geographical areas or
during start-up mode. In addition, the subscriber units terminate SHDSL lines from the
IP DSLAM family of access multiplexers, including the 12000 and 4000 Broadband Loop
Carriers (BLCs) and SHDSL Mini and Micro DSLAMs.
The use of the Provider unit for single SHDSL link deployments provides an easy
upgrade path for future multi port deployments, using IP based 12000 and 4000 BLCs.
The subscriber unit can remain in place so no changes are needed at the customer
premises and the provider unit can be swapped out for an IP-based 12000 or 4000 BLC.
To protect investment in the provider units they can be easily converted to subscriber
units using the conversion kit and redeployed in the service provider’s network.
Because the SNE2000G is fully DSL The Easy Way™ compliant, configuration
requirements are removed completely, allowing this device to be installed into the
customer premises quickly. The SNE2000G uses the DSL The Easy Way packet-based
architecture for optimum throughput and reliability.
