The next generation of Broadband DSL. Ericsson has shown that nothing is impossible with its 500-Mbit/s DSL. It has shown 500-Mbits/s transmission rates via copper cabling, using VDSL2-based modems by bonding six telephone lines together, each of each is capable of serving data at speeds of about 83Mb. Ericsson appears to be the world first 0.5Gbps data rate with new broadband technology. The data rate was achieved due to Digital Subscriber Line technology which guarantees a low-cost and high-performance connectivity for backhaul customers.It was previously believed that faster speeds could be produced by using an expensive fibre optic broadband network but Ericsson seemed to have broken the stereotype. With VDSL2-based technology, offering top speeds, Ericson is going to provide its consumers with broadband services like Internet Protocol TV, High Definition Television or customized video. The technology allows using already installed copper networks as a backhaul for radio base stations.
Vectorized VDSL2 to be also called crosstalk cancellation makes it possible to improve VDSL2 performance with noise reduction and enables very high end-to-end transmission rates. Improved power management allowing reduced power consumption is a good step forward opening up new possibilities.
