Utilizing standard based DMT (VDSL2) technology and the first company to utilize MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) techniques in the wireline domain, Aktino's technology enables the transmission of more bandwidth to greater distances with more reliability over copper loops than existing technologies such as G.SHDSL and HDSLx.

Aktino's technology is a powerful new way of bonding copper pairs. By performing bonding at the physical layer, Aktino's technology overcomes the problems of existing bonding methods and enables the delivery of high quality broadband services throughout the entire CSA (carrier serving area).

Some of the main advantages of using Aktino's technology compared to other bonding schemes are detailed below:

• Only one-third to one-half the number of pairs are required to deliver the same bandwidth, enabling better utilization of existing infrastructures.
• Customer service denials due to lack of sufficient useable copper pairs are reduced substantially.
• The lower pair-count and higher bandwidth per pair provides a dramatic increase in the customer and footprint coverage.
• Very high immunity to noise and line impairments ensures service approaching fiber-quality even in harsh environments, including the effect of extreme weather conditions on aerial cables.
• Provides fast recovery from pair failures or temporary outages.
• Compatibility with Dynamic Spectral Management techniques used to optimize residential ADSL performance from existing DSLAMs. This makes Aktino's technology inherently friendlier to the large installed base of ADSL.
• Fully T1.417 compliant DMT line code with industry standard tone spacing and symbol rates.

All these advantages translate into increased rate, reach and reliability and therefore market share at lower cost. This in turn improves a service providers revenue while decreasing CAPEX and OPEX.
