Almost all apartments and condos have access to the coax cable within their buildings since this is the preferred delivery system for video. The Guest-Tek Ethernet-over-Coax product takes advantage of the tremendous bandwidth available within the coaxial network to deliver broadband services. The Golden Tree system consists of three elements - the Coax Gateway or CMTS, the in-room device (cable modem), and the GTC SmartServer to manage the system and deliver the enhanced features that make it Guest-Tek. The Coax Gateway resides in a wiring closet or office at the apartment and is connected to any available wide area network (WAN) backhaul via a 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection (Internet Access Line). Once the Coax Gateway is deployed, every coax outlet connected to the coaxial infrastructure has the potential to deliver broadband data service. The cable modems are easy for the resident to install. There is no interference between the Golden Tree Ethernet-over-Coax system and any of the existing video services currently being provided on the in-building coax.
