Ethernet over copper solutions provider Actelis Networks has shipped its one millionth Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) port to network operator Colt.

Colt started to strengthen its European presence by deploying EFM access capabilities with Actelis’ built-in EFMplus technology in 2007.

The company has been using Actelis’ Ethernet access devices, central office aggregation switches and EFM repeaters, and Colt’s European EFM deployments have enabled high-speed and scalable bandwidth over copper.

This has helped Colt to deliver a wide range of its computing and network services for its large base of small to medium-sized businesses and branch offices of major enterprises.

“Actelis’ physical layer capabilities exploit the full bandwidth capability of every copper pair, and also ensure there is spectral compatibility between multiple services that may be running in the bundle,” said Luke Broome, CTO at Colt.
