The Metanoia Communications’ XENON is a VDSL2 24-Ports Layer 2+ CO module

with two 10/100/1000BaseX Ethernet ports or two 10/100/1000Base-X Fiber Optics

and 24 VDSL2 ports (on RJ-21 connectors). For Annex A bland plan over 26 AWG

UTP copper wires, profile 30a can reach over 100/80 Mbps data rate within 750ft

and profile 17a can reach over 40/10 Mbps within 1K ft providing ultra-high

performance to the pervasive telephone line network. XENON has the advantage of

minimum installation time and minimum expense by allowing video streaming and

data to share the same telephone pair without interference.

The module is a DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) accommodating

well proven Fiber, Ethernet and VDSL2 technologies with Layer 2+ switch controller

 feature including 802.1D self-learning bridge, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol,

Spanning Tree Protocol, 802.1Q VLAN, GVRP, 802.1p traffic priority, 802.3ad

Aggregation of Multiple Link Segments and management features such as SNMP,

MIB counters and port mirroring. For today’s broadband access switch, XENON s

upports packet buffer which improves its ability to handle network congestion caused

by high uplink port speed and low user download speed. Therefore, XENON can

reduce dropping high priority packets and support reliable network real-time

multimedia applications.

The XENON CO device can be easily configured through either web-based

management software or Linux command line interface. The intelligent web-based

management software, allows for streamlined configuration of the XENON, as well

as ARGO CPE devices through a single IP address. The XENON can be configured

on a per-link basis for transmission mode, rate limitations, and signal-to-noise (SNR)

margin. The module provides comprehensive hardware diagnostics, and it is easy to

maintain and easy to build in the 1U rack-unit. The resulting compact and

cost-effective form factors offer systems integrators, small business and building

owners an attractive DSLAM solution.

The Metanoia Communications MDU solution including the CO (Central Office) site

module XENON and CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) site module ARGO delivers

everything needed to quickly deploy a high-speed IP-based network for providing

high-speed Internet access and video-on demand services, and voice services.
