Connectivity challenges in multi-dwelling units (MDUs) are a growing concern as demand for high-speed, reliable internet continues to escalate. In a recent article published by Electronic Design, Helge Tiainen, Business development Director at InCoax Networks, addresses and debunks 11 prevalent myths surrounding MDU connectivity.
This piece is a must-read for property developers, network planners, and telecom professionals seeking to modernize broadband delivery without the high costs and disruptions associated with full-scale fiber deployments.
Key Insights from the article:
- Fiber isn’t the only path to gigabit performance
In many MDUs, leveraging existing coaxial infrastructure can deliver fiber-like speeds, often more cost-effectively. - Coax is far from obsolete
Modern technologies such as MoCA Access™ enable operators to provide symmetrical, high-speed internet using the in-place coax network. - Upgrades don’t need to be invasive
The article highlights how broadband upgrades can be implemented with minimal tenant disruption by utilizing non-intrusive installation methods. - Scalability is achievable without fiber-to-the-unit
InCoax solutions offer a future-proof, scalable alternative for MDUs, especially in legacy buildings where fiber rollout is challenging. - Cost efficiency meets performance
By avoiding full fiber installations, service providers can drastically reduce CAPEX while meeting user demands for high-bandwidth applications.
