Lantiq's Latest: 16 Channel VDSL, HD-Speed 802.11, 2 Gigabit NP

Imran Hajimusa of Lantiq demo'd four TV streams going wirelessly across a large room to four HDTV's several months ago. They are now shipping the WAVE 300 in volume. Ulrich Huewels is confident it can support HD video. Lantiq tells me a large U.S. carrier will soon surprise by moving to wireless home networks. They've also doubled the density of their Vinax VDSL linecard chips and are sampling the two gigabit GRX gateway processor.
Replacing wires has long been the grail for in-home networking. Vendors have been making promises for years, but field tests were not up to carrier grade. Carriers can't accept networks that only work for 95% of homes because the truck rolls to the other homes can be brutally expensive. They need close to 100% real world performance. I'm going to be skeptical until carriers prove the promises in the field, but the buzz for the new beam-forming chips is good.

The new VINAX V3 supports 16 channels for the 50 meg VDSL2 Profile 17a and 8 channels for the 100/100 meg 30a. Power is 0.9W per channel. Bonding is supported and VINAX "is ready to support full System Vectoring, a VDSL2 enhancement that will reduce crosstalk." Written by Dave Burstein
