ZTE takes VDSL2 out of lab

Chinese vendor ZTE has launched what it claims is the world’s first system-level VDSL2 vectoring prototype, the ZXDSL 9836, which enables 100Mbps downstream data speeds through copper lines.

Using system-level vectoring, the ZXDSL 9836 DSLAM can increase the capacity of copper wires, extend a network’s reach and prolong the lifecycle of copper cable networks.
