Eliminating the Need for Rewiring & Tenant Disruption
Millions of MDUs Remain Unconnected to Broadband Services
Tens of millions of multi-dwelling units (MDUs) around the world remain unserved or underserved with broadband services. Deployment of broadband services for multi-dwelling units (especially older MDUs) has been a challenge for providers for a number of reasons but when those challenges are overcome, there is great revenue potential because of the number of subscribers living within one building.
67%
of US multi-family housing buildings were built before 19801 and are not likely to be wired for fiber.
46%
of the European population lives in a flat2 providing a very large addressable market.
$500 to
$1,000
cost per door to rewire a building for fiber3 (varies by region)
$700 to
$900
average monthly lost revenue by not serving a 16 unit building4 (varies by region)
Current Challenges
1. There are many existing and potential customers living within MDUs that providers cannot serve today with Gigabit services
A provider may have successfully deployed fiber to a building or installed a fixed wireless antenna on the roof but that is only half the battle. The majority of multi-family buildings do not have available fiber within the walls of the building, which may be limiting potential revenue opportunities because Gigabit services cannot be deployed.
2. Rewiring a building with fiber
- High Cost: Wiring a building for fiber can cost up to $1,000 per door depending on where the building is located. This is a large amount of money that needs to be invested upfront with no guaranteed ROI timeline.
- Time: Building rewiring takes time away from deploying other projects. There is pre-planning with the landlord and IT staff, design work, and installation, all of which takes the focus away from other revenue generating opportunities.
- Landlord: The landlord may not want to incur the cost of rewiring the building or may not approve because it could disrupt the lifestyle of the tenants.

The Solution
Instant Fiber-Grade Gigabit MDU Connectivity
Utilizing Existing Coax or Telephone Wires
Instant Fiber-Grade Gigabit MDU Connectivity
Utilizing Existing Coax or Telephone Wires
It doesn’t matter how you get to the building.
Actelis distributes Gigabit services throughout the building.
A Hybrid Approach To Networking
Actelis’ hybrid-fiber technology takes in the fiber or Ethernet connection running to the building. It extends that connectivity over the wiring already available in the building, either copper or coax, to give customers the most cost-effective time-to-market solution to deliver broadband services.
Fiber-Grade Performance Over Existing Wiring
The Actelis solution boosts the performance of the existing copper or coax to give it the speed and quality of fiber. With our patented technology, Gigabit speeds can be achieved and interference is removed.
