Ethernet Bridge Network Controller

PPC has partnered with Giax GmbH to expand the Ethernet Bridge product offering by adding Network Controllers to manage the host/client communications between the controller and the PEBC/PEPC modems. Each Network Controller is provisioned and managed by externally run software, the Service Enablement Tool (SET). The SET can be run on a computer in the operator’s control space or can be hosted on the Cloud.

Host/client communications are protected with 128-bit security and additional security options, such as assignable VLANs, PPPOE and tagged/untagged configurations, available. Also available is a variety of QoS configurable options. A unique characteristic of these controllers is the ability to control the data throughput to the PEPC/PEPC modems to allow different tiers of service to drive additional revenue. The Network Controllers are available in 1 and 4-Port wall mount configurations and 1, 4 and 8-Port 19-inch rack mount configurations, which satisfy a wide variety of cost-effective multi-dwelling unit (MDU) applications.
