Sckipio and iTAS announced the first complete end-to-end G.fast solution featuring two new iTAS distribution point units (DPUs) that support G.fast and can be managed through an element management system (EMS), allowing service providers to reuse existing copper networks to deliver speeds of up to 1 Gbps comparable to fiber while managing G.fast equipment centrally. The DPUs support 16 subscribers each, accept either local or remote powering, and integrate with iTAS' EMS which uses Netconf/Yang and other protocols to manage G.fast network elements.

1. SCKIPIO AND ITAS ANNOUNCE FIRST G.FAST-
ENABLED EMS SYSTEM
Two DPU solutions include end-to-end G.fast
management from EMS to CPE
Taipei, Taiwan, May 11, 2015 − Sckipio Technologies, the leader in G.fast modems and iTAS
Technology Corporation, a leading provider of xDSL distribution point units and element
management systems (EMS) today jointly announced the first complete, end-to-end G.fast solution.
iTAS announced two DPUs, both with integration into existing EMS and one with built-in remote
power feeding.
Both the iTAS IPF-16S and iTAS IPF-16R are indoor G.fast distribution points; the IPF-16S version
accepts AC90~264V local power and the IPF-16R version accepts Reverse Power Feed by iTAS
POD-57 module from CPE site using POE over DSL technology.
“G.fast is well suited to brownfield areas,” said SC Lin, President of iTAS. “Service providers can
reuse existing copper resources to reach speeds comparable to FTTH (1,000 Mbit/s). The
management of G.fast can be done through different profiles, which will provide different QoS.
G.fast’s faster access speeds, faster deployment, and faster return-on-investment are many of the
reasons G.fast is attracting increasing industry attention. Because the DPUs were installed near
customer sites, a centrally managed EMS is important for carriers to assure customer satisfaction
when managing G.fast equipment.
To manage the iTAS DPUs, service providers can use iTAS’ EMS system with a built-in persistent
management agent (PMA) that can manage a G.fast DPU via Netconf/Yang or Web/SNMP/TELNET
(by remotely in-band, local RS-232 CLI, or Ethernet). The GPON Feed and GPON SFP ONT
portions are managed by OMCI messages from the OLT.

2. iTAS’ compact, indoor DPUs are only 10”x14”x5.5” in dimension and support 16 subscribers per
DPU. The DPUs are based upon Sckipio Technologies’ unparalleled G.fast technology.
“iTAS is one of the few companies that has an EMS, remote power feed capability, a full
management including Netconf/Yang and FTTdp know-how,” said David Baum, CEO of Sckipio.
“Adding G.fast makes iTAS a great partner.”
