Very high speed Digital Subscriber Lines (VDSL) are as the name suggests- extremely high speed DSL options
that have really taken root in Asia where the digital lifestyle has incorporated such a variety of devices,
all online and demanding an exacting quality of experience for the user.
The newly standardized VDLS2 also enables very high speed internet access of up to symmetrical 100 Mbps
(both up and downstream), but additionally VDSL2 is specified to support applications such as multi-channel high
definition TV (HDTV), video on demand, videoconferencing, and VoIP, all using the existing ubiquitous copper telephone
line infrastructure. That capability combined with its ATM, Ethernet and IP compatibility and the capacity for
multimode implementations enabling interoperability with existing ADSL equipment, means that VDSL2 will integrate
readily into legacy and next generation telecommunication networks.
