<strong>Actelis</strong> Solutions Utility and Industrial UTILITY Globally, Utility providers, including electric, gas, oil and water companies, are looking to improve their communication networks in order to maximize the benefit of their growing deployments of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) including new “smart grid” devices, surveillance video cameras, new IP sensors and advanced information exchange protocols. A migration toward an IP centric, high bandwidth, advanced and reliable communication network is required, not only between central substations, power plants, and administration offices but throughout the network to ensure effective service delivery, outage management and overall productivity. Cost efficiency is a top priority for utility providers. Fiber typically does not reach all locations across the grid and is often is cost justified only if it is already present. Utility networks have an abundance of existing copper infrastructure that can be immediately and cost effectively utilized to deliver IP/Ethernet services at high throughput to all necessary locations. <strong>Actelis</strong> offers several Ethernet over bonded copper solutions for high capacity symmetric (G.SHDSL) and asymmetric (VDSL/ADSL) utility transport applications. <strong>Actelis</strong> comprehensive portfolio of All-In-One Industrial Ethernet switches and extenders - ML600Dx, as well as its ML600 and ML700 Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) offer high speed aggregation for a variety of device located at the far-end location. These devices can include SCADA equipment, Ethernet systems (switches, routers, WiFi access points), IP data sensors, Serial devices, surveillance video, legacy TDM, and PoE devices. <strong>Actelis</strong> environmentally hardened enclosures can be used for deployment at outdoor sites, these were designed with high MTBF to minimize ongoing operational costs. At the headend, network concentration points, <strong>Actelis</strong> ML230/2300 aggregation switches provide termination for up to 256 copper pairs, delivering an efficient handoff to collocated IP/MPLS switches, routers, controllers, and other IP equipment via standards compliant interfaces. Optionally, the ML700 can be deployed at an aggregation node to terminate downstream VDSL/ADSL connected Ethernet switch/EADs. In addition, <strong>Actelis</strong> extenders, the BBA working with the ML700 and the XR239 repeaters with the ML600 can be further use to extend and expand the bandwidth, reach as well as the reliability of the bonded copper link. Main Benefits: • Immediate and cost effective high bandwidth network communication over the existing copper – 200+Mbps with 8 pairs (bonded VDSL2) or 16 pairs (bonded G.SHDSL) solutions • Repeaters (G.SHDSL) and Amplifiers (VDSL/ADSL) - extended reach, expanded bandwidth • Flexible topologies optimized for various scenarios: Rings, Drop and Continue, backend, Tree • Market leading reliability and service availability - advanced technology and redundant features, Service continuity under multiple failure scenarios • Low delay to effectively support real time video surveillance • Advanced Security • Fit space & environmentally challenged locations - Extended temp., Comprehensive lightning protection • Optional Input/output relays for location control – e.g. Lock door. Alarm activation • Multiple Ethernet ports, PoE as well as serial Interface to enable – Full connectivity at remote location • Remote powering option eliminating the need for local powering Copyright 2017 – <strong>Actelis</strong> <strong>Networks</strong> All rights reserved Page | 33
