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:
“Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain’t-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on—our lost narcissism lives on—in our ego ideal.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
