Technology So Advanced, It's Transparent
When technology works the way it should, it is transparent. Users should
not marvel at the technology; they should simply enjoy the experience.
2Wire gateways are packed with advanced features that help deliver that
enjoyable broadband experience to your users.
Advanced ADSL Modem Technology
It's all about the connection. Our gateways consistently deliver the
best connection rates in the industry because we leverage an extremely
low noise, high linearity ADSL Analog Front End (AFE) and digital echo
canceller to provide excellent long loop and bridge tap performance.
Translation: fewer technician visits and better modem training
capability, particularly for those customers at the edge of the DSL
coverage area.
2Wire goes beyond current ADSL standards by utilizing impulse noise
compensation and non-linear echo compensation to increase reliability
and performance in actual ADSL user environments. We test our 2Wire
gateways for conflicts with real-world items such as dimmer switches,
fluorescent lighting, AM radio, unfiltered devices connected to the ADSL
line (alarm systems, water meters, and half ringers), and poor wiring.
This extra step ensures a better experience for users once the gateway's
actually in the home; that means fewer truck rolls and shorter
troubleshooting calls.
Eliminate Cold Spots with HyperG® Technology
2Wire HyperG high-powered wireless technology virtually eliminates
wireless 'coldspots' in the home. HomePortal residential gateways
provide up to seven
times
the true power of traditional access points and increase wireless
bandwidth by using high power 400mW transmitters. (Most wireless access
points provide less than 100mW.)
Best of all, HyperG technology uses a standards-based, interoperable
design. That means even the performance of subscribers' existing
wireless 802.11b and 802.11g adapters will improve with a HyperG-enabled
HomePortal residential gateway.
The 2Wire unique triple wireless antenna design extends wireless reach
and boosts performance compared to typical 802.11 wireless designs,
which have only two antennas. 2Wire gateways have a third antenna used
only for transmitting packets. The extra antenna enables 2Wire wireless
gateways to avoid the power loss associated with switching antenna modes
back and forth from transmit to receive.
Antenna placement is optimized with a dedicated set of receive-only
antennas, resulting in greater access point sensitivity and increased
wireless throughput and range. Better range throughout the home means
better delivery of enhanced services, like VoIP and VOD.
Self-install Service Provisioning
Within minutes of unpacking the shipping box, our Greenlight™ CD-less
process ensures subscribers access the Internet, immediately eliminating
installation
headaches. With
Greenlight, no install CDs are required, no long meaningless numbers to
find and type in, no username and password to recall. Just add power to
the gateway and the green LEDs will light up within fifteen minutes.
Beyond simple Web surfing, our provisioning mechanisms also allow
service providers to easily add new services such as VoIP and QoS
parameters in support of IPTV.
