Cost-effective Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) mini-aggregation solution for low-pair count and space constrained locations.

Ethernet Aggregation Switch
7 port managed switch

The ML2300N product line offers a cost effective and rapidly deployable solution for space constrained and low density areas. The solution enables easy integration into existing carrier/enterprise networks. ML2300N simplifies deployment, provisioning and troubleshooting to enable high service availability and reliability, as well as efficient proactive management tools to optimize time to market and minimize service downtime.

ML2300N can be flexibly deployed in Point-to-Multi-Point or Drop and Continue scenarios with Actelis ML600 Hybrid-Fiber Ethernet Switches each delivering symmetrical Ethernet services as well as legacy E1 and V.35 services to remote subscribers/locations over multiple copper pairs.

ML2300N bonds copper pairs together to create a 2Base-TL link implementing the standard IEEE 802.3ah-2004 (EFM) long-reach Ethernet-over-Copper specification. ML2300N incorporates Actelis’ EFMplus and DRB technologies allowing carriers to offer higher bandwidth per pair and longer reach per service in real world environments along with the most stable and reliable transmission links in the industry. Up to 16 HSLs can be supported by the ML2316N, up to 32 by the ML2332N. Any combination of copper pairs per HSL/s can be configured.
