Verizon was left behind when Google launched Google Maps for Android phones. But now, the company strikes back by launching its own mapping system...with a cherry on top

VX-1000HDX

The Versa Technology VX-1000HDX is a 48-Port ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ mini IP DSLAM which equips with combo electrical (RJ-45) and fiber optical (SFP) uplink interfaces offering scalable and easy deployment for the network with small ADSL environment. With built-in POTS splitter subscriber ports, the VX-1000HDX performs as a cost-effective solution for network service providers to offer multiple subscribers excellent services.

Designed specifically for the Hospitality, MDU and Campus environment, the Versa Technology VX-1000HDX platform provides cost-effective, secure, Carrier Access to timeshares, apartment buildings, condos, dormitories, hospitals, and other campus deployments. It provides the security and bandwidth needed to allow service providers the ability to compete with and surpass all other telecommunications companies.

Moreover, the VX-1000HDX supports local and remote managed capabilities of CLI, SNMP, and Telnet via RS-232 console port and Web GUI management interface. Via user-friendly Web GUI, the VX-1000HDX can be managed by workstations running standard web browsers that provide the easy-to-use operation and convenient maintenance.

To enhance the network security, the VERSA TECHNOLOGY VX-1000HDX also provides features such as QoS, VLAN, Multicast, Bandwidth Management, Traffic Prioritization, and Access Control List. With the advanced QoS features, the VX-1000HDX is an ideal solution for next generation broadband network to deliver rich video contents, DSL, POTS, and VoIP service over ADSL2+ connection.

About ADSL2+

ITU G.992.5 is an ITU (International Telecommunication Union) standard, also referred to as ADSL2+. Is has a maximum download speed of 24 Mbps. ADSL2+ extends the capability of basic ADSL by doubling the number of downstream bits. The data rates can be as high as 24 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream depending on the distance from the DSLAM to the customer’s home.

A leader in ROI

Joe Taylor Director of Business Development for Versa Technology had this to say about the VX-1000HDX: “Our goal has always been to provide service providers everything they need to reach every customer and provide the quickest ROI possible. We feel the VX-1000HDX will allow the maximum amount of subscribers while utilizing the least amount of space. Less space used means less CO Cost.” Furthermore he went on to say that “With more and more rural customers, we feel the need to give them something that they can make money off quickly with little upfront cost. While the incumbents are flush with cash, the little guy cannot always afford to pay for a brand, so that is where the VX-1000HDX and Versa Technology come in.”

Pardon the loaner Mr. President, but your speech was too good not to borrow for our title. The days of paying for the brand in this shrinking economy are done. Just because DSLAM, Switches and Routers are branded with some company that overcharges you for those commercials, does not mean data gets to its destination any faster. 100Mbps is 100Mbps no matter what the model number of your switch is.

 Over the course of Versa Technology 15 year history we have met and talked to every possible tech, engineer or field specialist in the business of internet service providing and telecommunications. We have troubleshot all manner of networking headaches, from security issues to bandwidth and connectivity issues. If you work in this field you already know how hard it can be when dialing a tech support number.  When it comes to switches, modems, dslams, wireless access points, repeaters, Ethernet extenders and media converters we know what we are talking about and you won’t have to call India to figure something out. We will be there every step of the way.

 

From the tech who has never seen a 66 block and works straight out of the manual, to the worldliest telecom network engineer that has 30 years under his belt whom remembers the days when he use to throw up phone lines with spit, gum and some duct tape. We have met and talked with them all. Whether deploying DSLAMs, WAPs (Wireless Access Points), or bridging networks with Ethernet extender. Everyone wants to run to the bigger companies out of fear of the unknown not knowing a smaller company will provide you much better tech support. Smaller companies like Versa Technology care a lot more about than some bigger company that thinks it has bigger fish to fry. We treat every customer the same.

 But the Fear of the Gear exists in all of us, young and old. The flawed thinking that choosing a brand and paying the max dollar will safeguard a decision thus ultimately leading to job security is the equivalent of buying one machine gun when you need a thousand rifles. As great as that machine gun might be, can only buy so many and when it fails the lost is felt and in its vacuum you are left with nothing to fill the void or are so cash stripped you wished you had bought those rifles.

 

Great tech support aside, return on investment is what we are all here for and I guarantee if you are providing internet to customers we will figure out a way to provide you a greatest ROI quicker than anyone else. Talking to us and our coming to see us has been a life saver for many clients, embattled with rising costs of equipment and their own clients who in these times want to pay the minimum from IP DSLAMS or CPE modems, be sure to talk to your Versa contact at sales@versatek.com . Because the difference of spending $20,000 for a job that should cost you only $10,000 these days, can and could be the difference of surviving this economy in style or going down in a blaze of overly lavish spending. Be frugal yet cautious and trust in field experts who can find you equipment that works and prove it too. Get Versa and Get Connected today with solutions that work, makes sense and you can expect to save overnight with just a call or an email.
