VES-1012 12-port QAM 2-band VDSL Switch

VDSL, the fastest offering of DSL, provides a much higher bandwidth than other DSL technologies. Ethernet over VDSL extends Ethernet over single-pair copper wiring at distances of up to 1.5km. This technology provides a cost-effective, readily available, and rapidly deployable solution that offers needed bandwidth to multi-tenant units (MTUs).

VDSL has changed the fundamental economics of broadband services for the MTU marketplace. Tenants don't have to suffer the limited bandwidth. Even small to medium-sized corporations can receive the same services as large companies. With VDSL, MTUs gain a cost-effective broadband solution that preserves their existing infrastructure, and in the process, building owners or service providers receive a compelling new source for revenue generation.

ZyXEL's VDSL solution is comprised of a VDSL Ethernet switch , VES-1012 and a CPE modem, Prestige 841. The VES-1012 multiplexes traffic from 12 VDSL subscribers into one or two 100M Ethernet ports that connect to any Ethernet switch or broadband router. With the VES-1012, Ethernet over VDSL can run up to 1.5km at the speed of 5Mbps, which proves to be a promising technology and revenue generation tool for building owners and service providers.
