GAITHERSBURG, Md. - June 10, 2014 - PRLog -- GAITHERSBURG, MD: Patton Electronics (http://www.patton.com/) announced today the newOnSite 3300 (http://www.patton.com/products/product_detail.asp?id=494) Series of G.SHDSL.bis EFM IADs is now shipping and generally available.

Made in the USA, the OS3300 completes Patton’s US-manufacturedEFM solution set (http://www.patton.com/products/product_listing.asp?id=505), which includes an EFM DSLAM (http://www.patton.com/products/product_detail.asp?id=490), an EFM Bridge (http://www.patton.com/products/product_detail.asp?id=462), and several EFM VoIP CPE (http://www.patton.com/products/product_listing.asp?id=505) solutions.

Taking advantage of common copper infrastructure already in place, Patton’s complete set of EFM-compliant solutions avoid the disruption, delay, and expense of installing new CAT5 or fiber-optic cable.

Exploiting installed copper cabling to deliver first-mile/last-mile broadband connectivity, the OnSite 3300 G.SHDSL.bis EFM router bonds up to 4 twisted pairs for symmetrical line rates up to 22.8 Mbps.

Designed to of the ITU-T G991.2 and ITU-T G.998.1 (G.bond) specifications, the OS3300 is ideal for carriers, ISPs, and system integrators that want to deliver triple-play services over existing copper cable.

“There’s a lot to love about copper,” said Johnnie Grant, Product Manager. “It’s time-tested, reliable... and totally paid for. Patton’s complete EFM solution set makes legacy copper wire a viable medium for new-generation, high-speed network services.”
