Centillium's Pushes ADSL up to 50 Mbps

Centillium Communications introduced an “eXtremeDSLMAX” technology that optimizes the use of the ADSL spectrum to make significant improvements in the downstream and upstream bit rates while extending the reach of ADSL service and maintaining backward compatibility with ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2plus standards. Centillium said its technology is capable of delivering up to 50 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream using existing ADSL copper network infrastructure. Centillium’s eXtremeDSLMAX technology leverages a combination of hardware silicon design improvements, mixed signal design, and advanced software algorithms that support the latest ADSL standards such as G.992.3 (G.dmt.bis). A High Bit-Loading (MAX-HBL) feature allows more than 15 bits to be loaded per each ADSL DMT subcarrier. A Long Reach feature set extends ADSL coverage up to 22,000 feet (7,000 meters).
