MRO-TEK launches Greenbox
The R&D lab of Bangalore-based MRO-TEK has come up with an indigenous product - the Greenbox, a broadband network infrastructure which extends the bandwidth capacity of the network using cost-effective means that use minimal energy waste. This innovation is sure to revolutionize the world of Last Mile Ethernet services.
With the tremendous speed of globalization, shrinking distances and climatic turbulence, two challenges which will define all technology developed in this century are based on either "making network bandwidth ubiquitous" or "going green". In an unprecedented attempt, this technological breakthrough by the team at MRO-TEK has managed to address these challenges together.
Greenbox is the first of its kind device, which will be able to extend 100Mbps Ethernet connectivity from the existing distance of 100 m to 700 m. What makes this technology even more exclusive is that the technology embedded in Greenbox, allows it to remotely power the CPEs, thus extending Power-over-Ethernet to 700m.
This massive extension in the reach of Ethernet, beyond the existing 100 m hurdle, will ease the complexities involved in building network infrastructure at the last mile. Since the CPEs will not require a local power supply, the implementation is easier and avoids the extra power and heat dissipation involved in the current systems.
