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:
“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
