Broadband Services providers are sometimes faced with difficult choices when trying to upgrade broadband technology within existing (brownfield) Multi-dwelling units (e.g. apartments, resorts, retirement homes, hospitals assisted living, barracks, dormitories, condos, townhomes, etc.). This session will provide various technology options, along with advantages and disadvantages to enable reliable highspeed broadband services within these high density revenue opportunities. The panel would include a brief presentation covering both commercial and technical challenges, and include Jim Staheli from Positron (technology expertise), Greg Herrman from Core telecom (commercial expertise) and a representative from Deeply Digital (an ISP having deployed various MDU technologies). The session would provide basic choices, criteria for and grades on each with a question and answer session helping attending ISPs with their specific challenges for brownfield MDUs.
