NEW YORK, Nov. 17 -- Edgecore Networks, Inc., a global manufacturer of application-driven performance networking solutions, today announced its unified infrastructure solution designed to support the ever-increasing IP-based service demands of hospitality businesses, and operators of multiple-dwelling units (MDU) and multiple-tenant units (MTU).
Edgecore's TigerAccess 7800 Series, which consists of the 24-Port VDSL2 Switch (SMC7824M/VSW), One-Port CPE (SMC7801A/VCP) and Four-Port CPE with built-in wireless (SMC7804AW/VCP), is a robust high-speed solution that supports advanced network-based applications including Video-on-Demand (VoD), Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and high-speed Internet access.
Based on VDSL2 technology, the SMC7824M/VSW switch provides data transfer speeds of up to 100Mbps (up and down) to support Internet-enabled applications for a single room using the one-port CPE (SMC7801A/VCP). For multiple in-room connections, the SMC7804AW/VCP supports multiple Ethernet-based appliances or nodes or a small number of rooms through four Ethernet ports and an integrated 802.11g wireless access point. The SMC7804AW/VCP provides increased installation flexibility to the installer and lowers the overall Total Cost of Ownership for the customer by not only enabling both wired and wireless in every room, but also eliminating the need for a second WiFi network. Easy to deploy, operate and manage via SNMP or a browser-based management interface, the new system has a plug-and-play capability ensuring easy installation and management by contracted or in-building IT personnel.
"The initial feedback that we have received from our partners regarding the TigerAccess 7800 Series has been extremely positive," explained Iain Kenney, Director of Product Marketing at Edgecore Networks. "The integration of WiFi capability into our VDSL2 solution was designed specifically to address the business of the MxU infrastructure from our customers' points of view. By providing to the market a solution that enables a single CPE to support multiple units, the 7800 Series simplifies the LAN infrastructure to improve the customer experience and minimize support issues."
"The TigerAccess 7800 series is designed to enable our reseller partners to streamline costs while increasing the number of new opportunities that they can win," stated Mike Boissiere, Vice President of Enterprise Sales at Edgecore Networks.
