Solving the MDU Gigabit Coverage Challenge

Recent years have seen operators deploying fiber miles to achieve the highest possible Homes Passed metric, with a focus on serving SFUs. In the process, Brownfield MDUs were “bypassed” resulting in a “fiber divide” for the tenants despite the nearby access to fiber.

You will learn how to use Fiber Extension technologies like G.hn and leverage existing MDU wiring (telephone pairs or coaxial cabling) to solve the MDU challenge. This is attractive to Operators pushing a fiber-first strategy. We will share how Nuvera deployed the GAM and leveraged G.hn and XGS-PON OMCI integration. The additional MDU-based subscribers come with a minimal investment and maximize the return on the already deployed fiber.
