With more mobile devices coming online than ever before, and demands on networks straining under the load, Actelis (News - Alert) Networks has a little something in mind to help, and they're currently exhibiting their new solution at this year's CTIA (News - Alert) Wireless event in New Orleans.

Actelis Networks is showing off their new Ethernet Access Device, the ML700 EAD, at the CTIA Wireless event, and it's geared toward taking some strain off networks by improving backhaul capabilities. When demand is elevated in certain localized areas, like shopping malls, business parks, and other similar areas where there are a lot of people in one small place who want access to data, bandwidth providers will often bring in picocells, or similar small cell systems. But the backhaul for these systems can be a problem, as laying fiber, using microwave transmissions, or bonding T1 and E1 lines can be a much more difficult--and costly--problem than some would care for.

The Actelis solution, meanwhile, offers up 500Mbps of bandwidth in a small area by using EFM--Ethernet in the First Mile--bonding with DMT (News - Alert) technology. This combination allows for the use of, generally, currently-existing copper-based infrastructure to move data without the need to bring in new infrastructure like fiber, microwave, or bonded T1 lines, which can be expensive to arrange and take a long time to recoup the investment required to bring them into play.

And things like Actelis' ML700 should allow for the bridging of one of the great problems of our era: the need for a profitable venture balanced against the demands of the customers, who yield profit for a venture in the first place. Obviously no customer wants to hear things like how they can't have good quality Internet access with high, if any, bandwidth caps at a reasonable price because they don't live in the right area. But bringing out service in those areas is difficult and expensive, too expensive in many cases, to bring the service out without charging huge prices, and customers don't want to hear that either. But with copper-based service becoming more of a possibility, and companies able to take advantage of already-established infrastructure to provide service, the gap is narrowing between the Internet haves and the Internet have-not-yets.

Those wanting to see Actelis' new Ethernet Access Device will be able to do so at the Mobile Backhaul Pavilion at the CTIA Wireless (News - Alert) event, Booth 2558.
