Ericsson Demonstrates VDSL2 At Speeds Of 500Mbps

While it may only take you 20 to 25 minutes to download 500MB of data on your highspeed cable, DSL users may soon be able to download the same amount of data but in only 12 seconds. It would take longer to copy the file to disk than it would to download the data. This is all thanks to VDSL2, which allows unprecedented speeds on existing copper lines.Ericsson announced today that it has performed the world's first live demonstration of a VDSL2-based technology achieving data transfer rates of more than 0.5Gbps. The Ericsson demonstration achieved data rates of more than 0,5 Gbps over twisted copper pairs using the latest technology for line bonding and crosstalk cancellation for DSL, also known as "vectorized" VDSL2. The technology is suitable for fiber extensions, combining fiber and last-mile copper for backhauling.
