With the liberalization of the telecommunication sector, Taiwa’s market size is expected to grow from current NT$2 Billion to NT$4.5 Billion during 2002. Today, the Internet has dramatically increased consumers’ demands for data, voice and video services, ranging from basic telephony service to broadband Internet access. Therefore, most service providers and enterprise users are shifting to a cost-effective broadband solution, which can deliver higher speeds and more reliable QoS to existing core networks. Supporting QoS to the customers’ premises, Accto’s broadband solutions provide service level agreement (SLA), allowing service providers to differentiate services to their subscribers. Accto’s broadband solutions guarantee a connection without limits.
Accto’s Ethernet All the Way solution consists of two robust technologies, Ethernet over VDSL (Very High Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Line) and Ethernet, to bring powerful and economical broadband access to users. The speed of VDSL is 26 Mbps, the fastest among xDSL technology, Ethernet is as one of the most prevalent data technologies that has the advantages of adaptability and easy access and has gradually emerged within the telecom field. According to research data, Ethernet currently has a 5:1 deployment ratio within Mainland China’s telecom infrastructure residential users. Accto’s Ethernet over VDSL solution provides high-speed and cost-effective broadband access to multi-tenant unit (MTU) buildings, such as commercial buildings, hotels and residential apartments. Accto’s VDSL family includes the ES2002-TS VDSL client modem and the ES2008-TS/2016, TS/2024-TS VDSL concentrators. These devices deliver up to 15Mbps symmetric Ethernet performance, transmitting data and voice over existing telephone wire and completely co-existing with plain old telephone services (POTS).
Accto’s Voice over ATM integrated access device solution now delivers highly integrated and cost-effective broadband data and voice services to small and medium-sized businesses with toll-quality voice and high-speed data in one device. This solution provides not only data and voice services, but also deliver video services in the future.
