Active Ethernet and
Point-to-Point technology
The Active Ethernet (AE) technology allows residential and business subscribers to access the Internet through a point-to-point fiber (P2P) connection. A P2P connection provides subscribers with Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) or Fiber-to-the-Business (FTTB) services with a dedicated fiber connection. With this future-proof methodology, you have unlimited flexibility and capacity.
Although Aspen believes strongly in Active Ethernet technologies, we remain technologically agnostic, committed to implementing what works MOST effectively for our communities and their individual needs.
Comprehensive Design
Our team comprises professionals with network design, field application, and network operation backgrounds. Our focus is to design networks balancing ease of installation and maintenance, the efficiency of construction, subscriber installation and experience, and long-term operational costs as crucial decision drivers.
Outstanding Performance
We design our networks with 40Gbps backbone architecture and a dedicated 10Gbps symmetrical (upstream and downstream) committed bitrate for subscriber service innately upon installation.
Having a symmetrical internet connection is crucial. This is because you can upload heavy files, make video calls, post content to social media, upload files to servers, and even live stream over modern platforms, like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch.
Ease of Use
With Aspen, you get a network that’s easy to configure, both from a technical, management, and operational perspective. What is the point of a network strategy when you constantly have to manage performance? The Aspen Method improves staffing, resource management, and ROI by promoting easy installation and minimal follow-up activity.
Exceptional Reliability
Aspen Smart Networks deliver “five-nines” or 99.999% uptime reliability. There is simply no better option on the market for organizations or communities that require reliable, robust connectivity.
Enabling Smart Technology
Aspen is a leader in integrating “Smart Community” systems and technologies. We partner with technology pioneers to develop and deploy Parking Management, Cameras, Network-based Security Systems, and Traffic/Pedestrian Monitoring. Aspen knows how to make technology reliable, economical, and effective.

What is Network-in-a-Box?
With Aspen Network-in-a-Box, you can connect up to 552 residences and businesses at up to 10 Gbps. By taking one fiber in a right of way, you can multiply it by several hundred thousand, providing the most cost-effective fiber optic connectivity for rural America. The Aspen NIAB is a modular system standardizing internal components, including adapter panels, switch and power configurations, environmental management, and cable management.
Due to its point-to-point (P2P) nature, it is future-proof. Electronics at the fiber ends can be upgraded every 30 to 50 years. This is similar to replacing cans at the ends of a string: we keep the string but upgrade the cans. NIAB can serve both middle-mile and last-mile connectivity with “air gap” layers for physical security separation for critical applications. Backhauling uses the Selby method and a “spider-webbing” backbone. In that way, the network becomes self-healing during external interference such as power outages and interruptions caused by other means.
