Ericsson has informed that it has performed, what it claims to be, the world’s first live demonstration of a VDSL2-based technology achieving data transfer rates of more than 0.5Gbps.

Thw company believes this will allow operators to offer low-cost, high-performance connectivity to an increased range of mobile backhaul customers, enterprise users and residential customers.

The Ericsson demonstration is reported to have achieved data rates of more than 0,5 Gbps over twisted copper pairs using the latest technology for line bonding and crosstalk cancellation for DSL, also known as ‘vectorised’ VDSL2. The technology is suitable for fibre extensions, combining fibre and last-mile copper for backhauling, the company said.

The  company also noted that the new technology makes it possible to use existing copper networks as a backhaul for radio base stations, accelerating future rollout of HSPA and LTE-based high-speed mobile broadband services.
