Positron Access Solutions Wins 2026 Maravedis Technology Excellence Award for GAM
Positron recognized for making gigabit-plus broadband economically viable in existing multifamily buildings without rewiring.
MONTREAL, QC – Positron Access Solutions won the Technology Excellence Award at the inaugural Maravedis MDU Connectivity Awards 2026, sponsored by Calix, for its Gigabit Any Media (GAM) platform.
Organized by Maravedis Research, an independent research and advisory firm specializing in managed connectivity, MDU broadband and multifamily connectivity. The 2026 MDU Connectivity Awards recognize companies and technologies advancing connectivity across the multifamily market.
The panel of property owners and operators, REITs, consultancies, analyst firms and industry media recognized Positron for solving a major challenge in older multifamily buildings: Delivering gigabit-plus broadband when the cost, construction and disruption of replacing in-building wiring is impractical.
“Winning the Technology Excellence Award is a tremendous recognition of the work our team has done to remove one of the biggest barriers to broadband deployment in legacy MDUs,” said Pierre Trudeau, President & CTO of Positron Access Solutions. “Positron’s GAM reuses existing in-building wiring, provides multi-subscriber OMCI integration to PON OLTs, and enables seamless provisioning and activation of gigabit-plus bandwidth. It becomes the foundation to enable MDU-wide managed Wi-Fi and smart building applications without the cost, time, and disruption of rewiring. We are honored to have this innovation recognized by Maravedis and its independent judging panel.”
Alex Davies, Senior Analyst & Editor at Wireless Watch, Rethink Technology Research, commented during the judging process:
“I really like the retrofit angle here: that you can save up to $800 per door sounds very appealing, so this has strong brownfield potential. The GAM ties Wi-Fi and TV together, provides a more compelling bundle than just Wi-Fi alone, which sounds like a strong draw. Sounds like solid partnerships too. I like the smart building vision for the future.”
The same challenge extends well beyond multifamily housing. Positron’s GAM technology is also deployed across more than 300,000 hotel rooms, where service providers and hospitality operators improve the bandwidth to guest rooms and introduce new services while minimizing construction, cost and disruption to hotel operations.
