Network-wide Carrier Ethernet Service Delivery
Traditionally, Ethernet services were only available to customers with fiber.  However, by using the AKRPT Carrier Ethernet Repeater to extend the already impressive rate and reach of the AK355 100 Mbps and the AK500 60 Mbps products. It supports both symmetric and asymmetric bandwidths and extends the reach of the AK355 in Carrier Ethernet mode and the AK500 to beyond 24 Kft/7.3 Km.  This makes it possible to provide up to 10 Mbps out to 36 Kft using just 8 copper pairs. The AKRPT extends the reach of the AK355 in DS3 mode to beyond 30 Kft/9.1 Km. 

New Level of Reliability
The AKRPT utilizes the same MIMO on DMT technology as all other products in the Aktino product portfolio. This means that like all other Aktino products, it was designed to dynamically compensate for individual copper failures.  If a copper pair fails, the AKRPT automatically adjusts the other pair margins to compensate for the loss. This feature allows any pair to protect all the pairs in a bonded group.

Line Powered
The AKRPT is a line powered, which enables it to be deployed in any field cabinet or remote location without requiring a local power source.

Compliant with Industry Standards
The AKRPT is a standards-based product that provides superior performance and reliability compared to any other multi-pair bonded copper products on the market. Along with meeting copper loop standards such as ANSI T1.417, which enables the Carrier Ethernet services delivered by the AKRPT to co-exist with other services in a binder, the product is fully compliant with ITU G.998.2 and NIPP T1.427.02 Ethernet-based Multi-pair Bonding (based on IEEE 802.3ah EFM) and IEEE 802.1 and 802.3 LAN protocol standards.
