Comtrend Showcases G.hn Coax DPU Solution at Broadband Communities Summit

A Faster, Better Way to Deliver Gigabit to MDUs—Without Rewiring

IRVINE, Calif., June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Comtrend, a leader in broadband networking solutions, will showcase its latest G.hn-based DPU solution at the Broadband Communities Summit, June 23–24, 2025, in Houston, TX. The solution delivers gigabit broadband over existing coax infrastructure, enabling faster installs, lower costs, and higher margins—making it an ideal choice for service providers, VARs, and system integrators looking to expand into MDU markets with minimal complexity and maximum return.

Solving the MDU Challenge—Turning Legacy into Opportunity
Many MDUs—especially brownfield properties—have been overlooked due to the high cost and complexity of service upgrades. Comtrend's DPU solution flips the model, delivering gigabit speeds over existing coax—no trenching, no rewiring, no delays, and limited occupant disruption.

Whether serving a single building or larger-scale deployments, this solution brings flexibility, speed, and profitability to MDU broadband deployments.

Built for Real-World Scenarios:

• Outgrowing DSL: When outdated technology can't keep up, Comtrend's DPU offers a better path forward. Bring fiber to the building, then use existing coax to deliver high-speed broadband—without the cost and disruption of rewiring every unit.
• Underperforming Head-End Solutions: Tired of quality issues? This DPU solution now offers a reliable, cost-effective upgrade that's easy to deploy—and built to perform.

Comtrend turns previously hard-to-serve MDUs into high-margin opportunities.

Purpose-Built for Providers, VARs & System Integrators
The DPU solution is easy to deploy and designed to deliver strong ROI. By leveraging coax that's already in the walls, partners can turn around installs in days—not weeks.

Key benefits:

• Faster time-to-market
• No need to rewire
• Minimal technical overhead
• Immediate revenue from properties once considered too costly to upgrade

Demo at Booth 605:
Comtrend will demo the G.hn DPU at Booth 605 during the Broadband Communities Summit. Attendees can experience firsthand how the solution simplifies MDU broadband while boosting profitability for providers and partners alike.

"MDUs represent one of the broadband industry's greatest untapped opportunities—but outdated wiring and costly upgrades have kept many properties off the map," said Bradley H. Joe, Senior Director of Product Strategy at Comtrend North America. "Our G.hn DPU solution gives providers and partners an affordable, scalable way to reach these buildings with a reliable broadband offering—without the burden of rewiring."
