In the past, bandwidth is equally shared and competed amongst all users at access level. That means applications with low requirements for bandwidth will take away excess bandwidth, at the same time applications with high speed requirements will not get enough bandwidth. This represents a misallocation of valuable resources and loss of bandwidth, lowering the service quality for critical applications. 

With the growing demand for advanced broadband applications such as Triple Play over IP, HDTV, HD programming, internet video, mobile video phone and other bandwidth-heavy applications, service quality is more and more demanding. Efficient allocation of bandwidth resources is extremely important for carriers to deliver high quality network services and keep service costs affordable. Carriers can now stop losing valuable bandwidth on their networks with MetroBlazer™ switches, at the same time end users can enjoy high speed and high efficiency broadband services. MetroBlazer™ by Aspen Optics introduces an innovative technology to achieve effective rate limiting and bandwidth control, enabling carriers to provide different levels of services and bandwidth per customer Ethernet port. This is a significant breakthrough since carriers are currently losing enormous amounts of bandwidth due to diversified bandwidth consumption needs from end users. 

MetroBlazer™ is a simple and cost effective way to stop giving away bandwidth, allowing carriers to provide different levels of service and bandwidth per customer. More than that, MetroBlazer™ CPE Switch1208 series allows users at access level to allocate by themselves different ports for different applications under the same roof. MetroBlazer™ CPE switch supports 8 levels of bandwidth control. Users can therefore allocate 8 different bandwidth levels for various applications that require different levels of bandwidth, like video-conferencing, VoIP, IPTV, standard PC applications, etc.

MetroBlazer™ CPE Switch 1208 series supports network connection of up to 100km distance for single mode fiber and up to 60km for bi-directional single mode simplex fiber. It offers auto MDI/MDIX and loop detect functions, flow control for full-duplex mode and collision-based back pressure for half-duplex mode and provides Remote Management Tool (RMT) software package. With the growing popularity of fiber networks such as FTTX, FTTB (fiber to the building), FTTP (fiber to the premise), FTTH (fiber to the home), FTTC (fiber to the curb), FTTN (fiber to the node), FTTD (fiber to the desktop) to support more and more bandwidth-heavy applications, the broadband management feature of MetroBlazer™ is valuable for users to easily take control of their network resource and efficiently allocate bandwidth for different terminal devices to enjoy the highest quality of service.
