Aktino

Aktino, now part of Positron Access Solutions, specializes in carrier-grade solutions that empower telecommunications service providers to utilize their existing copper loop infrastructure. The company developed "MIMO on dmt" technology, a key component in its platform for delivering ubiquitous Ethernet services.

Their product line is centered around bonded copper solutions, which are designed to deliver high-performance 100 Mbps Carrier Ethernet and DS3 over bonded copper. This allows Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs) and other service providers to meet the increasing demand for bandwidth from their customers without the need for extensive and costly new fiber installations. Aktino's systems are designed for ease of configuration, monitoring, and maintenance, making them a practical choice for network-wide deployment.

The business model focuses on selling this specialized networking and broadband management equipment to telecommunications companies. By enabling these providers to extend the life and capabilities of their copper networks, Aktino provides a cost-effective alternative to fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) deployments, particularly in areas where fiber is not economically viable. The company operates in the telecommunications equipment market, serving a global client base of service providers.
