Lantiq bryder 100 Mbit/s barriere
Lantiq demonstrerer i samarbejde med Aethra Telecommunications 'reverse' powered FTTdp løsning, der gør det muligt at operere med datahastigheder på ower 250 Mbit/s over en 200m kobberkabel (in english).
Lantiq, a leading supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies, today announced the first commercially available reverse powered Fiber to the Distribution Point (FTTdp) solution, which uses standard fiber and copper wire broadband technologies to deliver aggregated data rates up to 250 Mbps over 200m twisted-pair copper line lengths.
Entirely based on Lantiq’s technology, the ultra-low power FALC-ON GPON and the VINAX V3 VDSL2 chipsets, the solution was jointly developed with Aethra Telecommunications, a leading access network equipment supplier, and also benefits from patent-pending reverse power feeding circuitry. The system sets a new performance benchmark for next generation copper access, supporting triple play broadband services including multiple HD TV channels over IP.
Lantiq and Aethra Telecommunications will demonstrate their FTTdp solution, which enables service providers to deploy CapEx efficient solutions today offering significantly higher data rate performance, at Broadband World Forum (BBWF), October 16-18 in Amsterdam.
Working from fiber drop points on a neighborhood pole or in a building basement, service providers can provision multiple customer end-points for the enhanced VDSL2 service. Importantly, only the very low-power consumption of Lantiq’s broadband access product portfolio makes it possible to reverse power the distribution point from the customer’s premise.
Hans-Peter Trost, Senior Marketing Manager of Lantiq’s Access Networks Business Unit: says:
- Delivering an aggregate data rate of 200 Mbps or more based on enhanced copper technologies allows service providers to capitalize on the potential of their existing copper access networks. At Lantiq, we strive to produce innovations that allow our customers to deliver broadband equipment that enables service providers to optimize their next generation network deployments. We are very excited to work with Aethra on a system design that defines a new benchmark for copper-based broadband access services.
Antonino Paris, R&D Head of Aethra Telecommunications comments:
- FTTH has suffered since now of a number of stop and go deployments, especially in Western Europe, due to inherent difficulties in cabling fiber inside buildings. FTTB as well has been limited by all the issues related to powering MDx equipment and buildings’ basement.
- Aethra Telecommunications’ spirit of finding innovative solutions for the access network has greatly benefitted from Lantiq cooperation, paving the way to overcome all these constraints in a simple and effective way. High Speed Internet access at 100 Mbps symmetric is now possible at a fraction of complexity and costs of FTTx.
