Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line - VDSL Standards

VDSL Standards

VDSL uses up to 7 different frequency bands, which enables customization of data rate between upstream and downstream depending on the service offering and spectrum regulations. First generation VDSL standard specified both quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and discrete multi-tone modulation (DMT). In 2006, ITU-T standardized VDSL in recommendation G.993.2 which specified only DMT modulation for VDSL2.

Version Standard name Common name Downstream rate Upstream rate Approved in
VDSL ITU G.993.1 VDSL 55 Mbit/s 3Mbit/s 2004-06-13
VDSL ITU G.993.2 VDSL2 100 Mbit/s 100 Mbit/s 2006-02-17

Famous quotes containing the word standards:

    “That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
