There is an increasing need to meet Government and regulatory commitments to deliver higher broadband performance and a greener economy. Very high speed Internet needs to be delivered earlier, with minimum disruption and at affordable costs.

Higher broadband speeds.

DSL Rings® by Genesis Technical Systems is a technology that can increase the revenue-generating lifetime of your largest existing asset: your copper plant. Implementing DSL Rings technology offers numerous benefits, including:

Provision of a potential 20x minimum increase in Internet bandwidth, speeds of up to 400 Mb/s over that existing copper plant, no new cabling of any sort required. This beats DOCSIS-based systems for the foreseeable future while minimizing network upgrade costs.

• Enablement of Traffic Prioritization (Quality of Service – QoS) that enables usage-based Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for each Priority Level. For example: Bit Torrent, web surfing and email are the lowest priority, and only get on the network if the higher-revenue generating traffic is not using all the available bandwidth.

• Superior performance across the entire network, Rural and Urban. It is advantageous to have a single access transmission and service enablement platform. This drastically reduces operating costs and increases customer retention.
• Multiple deployment options. It can be deployed through either a demand-based or Pay-as-you-Grow method so that Capital Investment is only made once a customer agrees to pay for it.
• Significant cost savings when compared to fibre. DSL Rings can be implemented for less than 5% of the cost of fibre.
• Minimum disruption to existing infrastructure.
• Creating the backbone for a greener economy

A greener economy

DSL Rings has the potential to be the basis for a National Green Plan. Widespread DSL Rings deployment will give utilities the data backhaul capability they need to get their meter data back to their control centres to enable Time-of-Day-based billing and other peak-reduction techniques and services. For example, WiFi-based meters for every utility can be installed in each home in conjunction with a WiFi-enabled DSL Rings system.

The DSL Rings system is owned and maintained by the telecoms providers; so it stays with the house even if the consumer moves or purchases another form of Internet access technology (e.g.: Cable or Wireless). This allows the utilities to offer incentivised pricing for off-peak periods during each day, allowing the delay of the construction of additional power plants, sewage treatment plants, or natural gas facilities.

In the longer term, deploying DSL Rings on a wide scale can help countries become more utility-efficient, thereby decreasing the overall National exposure to foreign supply issues.
