Ikanos announced its Velocity-3 Vectored VDSL chipset and software solution.
The company’s “NodeScale” Vectoring technology identifies and cancels VDSL crosstalk on up to 384 copper lines in a bundle. The technology eliminates crosstalk from all lines in the vectored group, independent of binder, cable or chassis, increasing rate, reach, robustness and reliability.
“With Velocity-3, we are delivering the broadband ‘holy grail’: fiber speeds for a fraction of the cost of deploying fiber to individual homes,” according to Omid Tahernia, chief executive officer at Ikanos. “Carriers benefit by super-charging their existing one billion copper line infrastructure, while satisfying consumers’ needs for ever-increasing bandwidth applications.”
