Empower Your Network with MikroTik GPEN

Extend your Ethernet reach with cost-effective and reliable GPEN technology

MikroTik’s GPEN (Gigabit Passive Ethernet Network) technology offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional GPON systems. It enables high-speed Ethernet connections over long distances using passive components. GPEN technology simplifies network expansion, reduces infrastructure costs, and provides robust, scalable solutions for ISPs, WISPs, and SMBs. By integrating key products like GPeR, GPEN11, GPEN21, netPower Lite 7R, and netPower 15FR, MikroTik ensures reliable connectivity and easy deployment in various environments.

Build Reliable Networks with MikroTik GPEN Technology

 

MikroTik’s GPEN technology redefines network infrastructure by enabling high-speed Ethernet connections over extended distances, offering unmatched reliability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency for ISPs, WISPs, and SMBs.

Infrastructure Foundation:

 

Core, Distribution, and Access

 

A robust network infrastructure comprises three essential layers: core, distribution, and access.

The core layer includes high-capacity routers and firewalls for centralized management and security. The distribution layer utilizes switches like MikroTik’s CRS series to connect the core to access points. The access layer features devices like netPower 7R and netPower 15FR, ensuring optimal end-user connectivity.
 

Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs)

 

CPEs such as GPEN11 and GPEN21 provide reliable, VLAN-managed connections at the client premises, enhancing network performance and user experience.

 

GPEN Technology in Network Infrastructure

 

Integration in Core, Distribution, and Access

GPEN technology, a versatile solution, seamlessly integrates into a standard network infrastructure's core, distribution, and access layers. Recursive PoE switches like netPower 7R and netPower 15FR centralize cable drops, minimize noise, and ensure power redundancy by drawing power from connected clients. GPeR units can expand Ethernet cable lengths up to 1500 meters, overcoming traditional limitations and extending network reach.

Enhanced CPEs

GPEN11 and GPEN21, equipped with SwitchOS, provide power and reliable connectivity at client premises, ensuring uninterrupted service and efficient network management.

Centralized Monitoring and Reliability

 

Centralized System Management

GPEN technology enables centralized system monitoring, allowing for efficient network management and maintenance. This centralized approach simplifies troubleshooting and reduces downtime, ensuring a reliable and robust network.

Cost-Effective and Low Maintenance

By minimizing the need for extensive cabling and reducing construction costs, GPEN technology offers a cost-effective networking solution. Its design ensures minimal maintenance requirements, making it a preferred choice over traditional networking solutions.
