vDSL & vhDSL
Very-high-bitrate DSL (VDSL or VHDSL)[1] is a DSL technology providing faster data transmission (up to 52 Mbit/s downstream and 16 Mbit/s upstream)[2] over a single flat untwisted or twisted pair of copper wires. These fast speeds mean that VDSL is capable of supporting high bandwidth applications such as HDTV, as well as telephone services (voice over IP) and general Internet access, over a single connection. VDSL is deployed over existing wiring used for POTS and lower-speed DSL connections. This standard was approved by ITU in November 2001.
Second-generation systems (VDSL2; ITU-T G.993.2 approved in February 2006) utilize bandwidth of up to 30 MHz to provide data rates exceeding 100 Mbit/s simultaneously in both the upstream and downstream directions. The maximum available bit rate is achieved at a range of about 300 meters; performance degrades as the loop attenuation increases.
Currently, the standard 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.

Ikanos chips support 100 Mbps DSL
Ikanos has developed a new set of chips that support 100 Mbps DSL, based on a new standard that supports both channel bonding and vectoring.
Ikanos' new Fusiv Vx185 and Vx183 chips conform to the new G.vector ITU standard, which defines how to achieve 100 Mbps service over traditional copper lines, which by some calculations would be a tenth the cost of achieving the same transmission rates with fiber.
The standard covers bonding for increased rate and reach, ultra-low power and, ultimately, gigabit line rate performance.
These new devices add to Ikanos' NodeScale Vectoring architecture, which spans the central office, remote cabinets in fiber to the node (FTTN) networks, and now the customer premises.
The Fusiv Vx185 integrates support for bonding by natively interfacing directly to two integrated analog front-end devices, Ikanos said. This is designed to allow the coupling of two TCP (twisted copper pair) wires. Together, bonding and vectoring can be combined to push aggregate data rates up to 300Mbps, the company said.
The new Fusiv family of devices also includes the following features:
Full ADSL and VDSL2 support with a single hardware design
Support for all VDSL2 profiles and band plans for Asia, Europe, and North America – 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 12a, 17a and 30a
Support for ADSL2+, ADSL2, and ADSL standards
Support for all mandatory and optional features of VDSL2
Exceeds Broadband Forum performance requirements (TR-67, TR-100, and WT- 114)
Support for all wired or wireless networking technologies including Wi-Fi (single or dual-band concurrent modes), HomePNA, HomePlug, Multi-media Over Coax, and ITU G.hn
Integrated SATA interface for the easy addition of network attached storage devices
System level support for high performance IPv6
IPSec and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN implementation using on-chip cryptographic engines
John Quigley, president and CEO, of Ikanos, said G.Vector support "pushes VDSL performance to the 100 Mbps threshold and beyond at a time when service providers are looking for a cost-effective way to upgrade their existing copper networks in order to compete with DOCSIS 3.0 and FTTH technologies."

Are We There Yet? The 'Connected World'
In April 2007, The Economist had a special feature looking forward to a "connected world" where everything from garden sprinklers and refrigerators could connect, interact and be managed from anywhere. The key premise of this feature was that in the future, more and more different types of devices would have inbuilt connectivity, which would allow them to communicate and interact with people using other machines. The "connected world" would open up huge new opportunities in terms of activities and services for both consumers and enterprises.
If we are not there yet, we must be on the threshold, but as with many a revolution, change can often have cascading impacts.
The first wave of connected devices was mobile phones. The second wave, happening now, consists of a variety of connected computing devices. A new wave of connected machines and other consumer electronics is currently building and will eventually outstrip the first two categories.
The phenomenal growth in mobile phone use is well understood. All sorts of mobile devices are undertaking a wide range of activities and transactions in this new millennium. Many of these devices have the processing power and memory of computing devices. Both consumers and enterprises use these mobile devices in much the same way as they use their computing devices — to manage personal and work activities. More than 1 billion smartphones and feature phones shipped in 2010. By the middle of the decade, shipments are expected to reach 1.5 billion, with about 50 percent being smartphones with extensive computing capabilities.
At the same time, mobile broadband devices are shipping in large absolute numbers and usage is growing at phenomenal rates. For the purposes of this article, a mobile broadband device is one that supports cellular (WAN) connectivity via an embedded or peripheral modem and includes notebooks, tablets, netbooks, USB and connect cards. Around 300 million of these devices shipped in 2010 — almost all support Wi-Fi connectivity, and about half support cellular network connectivity. By the middle of the decade, it is expected that more than 600 million of these devices will ship, about 400 million of which will ship with cellular connectivity. That is a lot of consumers and road warriors always connected on one — or several — of their computing devices. Layer in a couple of hundred million connected machines and other connected consumer electronic devices, and this looks like a connected world to me! Given the potential uptake of wirelessly connected machines and consumer electronic devices, it is clear that these will eventually dwarf mobile phone subscriptions by an order of magnitude.
These connected mobile broadband devices are prevalent in both the enterprise and consumer segments. For enterprises, mobile broadband is another capability that supports ongoing enterprise mobilization efforts. The challenge for the enterprise is to seamlessly extend management capabilities and processes from a fixed to a wirelessly connected context. For consumers, mobile broadband devices support a much more flexible mobile Internet access model. To ensure a high-quality mobile broadband experience in both of these critical segments, remote management will become increasingly important to the support of mobile broadband devices and services.
A fully functioning and operating connected world requires that the devices and the services work correctly and are optimized, wherever they are being used. Classic mobile device management capabilities are needed to seamlessly support all of these new device classes. Necessary capabilities include such things as: over-the-air and automated detection, activation and configuration of devices to ensure that they are correctly set up and operational; the ability to collect detailed inventory information from devices — from device make/model to OS, firmware, and embedded module version information; the ability for IT administrators or call-center agents to troubleshoot and resolve device and service issues over the air; security for the devices and the data on them, particularly if they are lost or stolen; policy management for interactions between the embedded modules, the connection manager and the host operating systems of notebooks/netbooks; and monitoring of the performance and availability of mobile broadband services to ensure quality.
Until operators were able to address these types of requirements with smartphones, every time a new phone was launched, costs spiraled out of control. The advent of mobile broadband devices now poses a similar if not more complex challenge due to the variety of new form factors and software platforms. Failure to proactively control and manage these devices will result in highly unpredictable costs and/or revenue forecast underperformance that ultimately impacts ARPU. Going forwards, we can see similar dynamics as the machine from a variety of verticals become increasingly connected.
The "connected world" is here or very close to being here now — huge numbers of smartphones and computing devices are already in the hands of employees and consumers. If a connected world is one where one more category of device, other than the phone, is connected wirelessly, then the category of "connected computing devices" passes that hurdle now. In any case, this connected world is unlocking and unleashing a range of new services and activities — a group of services and activities that will keep growing as more and more device types are connected.
As with traditional mobile markets like phones, manageability will be increasingly important for delivering services, supporting mobile broadband customers and managing other connected devices. With the right manageability tools in place, operators and enterprises will be able to leverage the opportunities available for advanced mobile broadband networks and services.By Rob Dalgety, MformationWednesday, March 9, 2011

1 Gig for $26, should sound a carrier alarm
1 Gigabyte per second for $26 a month sounds impossible, well it is being offered in Hong Kong by Hong Kong Broadband Network as a fiber to the home service. The Hong Kong market is competitive and it is has a high population density which makes it ideal for broadband economies of scale. Still, the Hong Kong Broadband network will suffer years of loses before it turns a profit. See New York Times article:
So what will it take to get these types of speeds at competitive pricing in the US? A third major competitor outside of telcos and cablecos that can take a loss and may have another benefit to offering these services. Enter Google. Google is starting off slow after its initial muni broadband deployment hype has not came to fruition. It is working with Sonic.net, an internet service provider, to offer 1 gigabyte service to a subdivision of Stanford University.
Implementation of these broadband speeds is also going to take municipal and legislative support due to the deep political entrenchment of the telcos and cablecos. Still, cities are looking for ways to draw in companies and create a high tech image, but may not want to spend the additional money in these tough economic times. Because of this most of the financial risk would fall on Google’s shoulders.
Yet, the threat to carriers is real. Not just for broadband but for landline phone service, and for TV and video services. Google has the basic customer interfaces to offer these services via Google Voice and Google TV. The incentive to take a financial hit on the deployment of 1 gigabyte fiber to the home maybe offset by the additional charge for phone and TV service. In addition, Google gets to know the customer in all parts of their lives on the PC, TV, mobile phone and landline phone. This leads to a highly targeted and segmented customer, and the platforms to sell to that customer. Google may stop faking at being a carrier and actually become a carrier.By Yankee GroupTuesday, March 8, 2011
