VES-1012

VDSL Ethernet 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, the VES-1012, and a CPE

modem, the Prestige841. The VES-1012

multiplexes traffic from 8 or 12 VDSL

subscribers into 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.

Benefits

Bandwidth of 5 to 15 Mbps Per Port in Full Duplex

Allows building owners and service providers to offer a variety of

value-added services ranging from broadband Internet access to

bandwidth-consuming video applications.

Broadband over Existing Telephone Wires

With VDSL, broadband service could be offered using the existing

copper wires. New revenue could be generated with minimum

installation time and expense.

Co-existence with Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS),

Digital Phones and ISDN

VDSL can be implemented quickly, even if building owners have

just one phone line per tenant. The existing POTS or ISDN

services could be kept while adding new broadband services.

New Advances for Broadband Service Offering

The VLAN feature in the VES-1012 offers the benefits of both

security and performance. Multicasting design improves network

bandwidth utilization for bandwidth-consuming application, such

as video on demand. New mechanisms, such as 802.1p, have

also emerged to ensure quality of service. The new advances in

the VES-1012 enable service providers to turn on broadband

service to more customers quickly and at a lower cost than

previously possible.

MTU-oriented Services

When service providers bring fiber closer to the end users, VDSL

becomes the best solution for delivering broadband service to

people working or living insides the buildings, such as business

parks, apartments, dormitories, campus and hospitality.

Scalable Platform for Future Expansion

The flexible design of the VES-1012 allows service providers to

start VDSL service at a minimum cost. As the number of

subscribers and applications grow, the additional VES-1012 can

be added to increase the available customer base.
