Ericsson claiming a major breakthrough in broadband - 500Mbit/s over copper lines

VDSL2 deployment scenarios: fiber to the cabinet (FTTCab), fiber to the exchange (FTTEx), and fiber to the building (FTTB)

Article Summary

The next generation of Super Broadband DSL is just around the corner. Swedish Telecommunications giant Ericsson has demonstrated 500-Mbits/s transmission rates over copper cabling by using new crosstalk cancellation or "vectorized" VDSL2 based modems. The data rate is over 20 times faster than the fastest ADSL2 services currently on offer in most countries. With products using the technology likely to be available by the end of the year, this will open up the possibility of broadband services such as video-on-demand over IPTV networks.
