Designed for the performance requirements of Japanese carriers, Metalink's 100 mbps symmetric VDSLPlus provides fiber-like speeds over existing copper "last-mile" infrastructure.
Metalink (Nasdaq: MTLK;TASE: MTLK) today announced the commercial availability of a new generation of its VDSLPlus very high bit rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) transceivers with the ability to transmit both upstream and downstream at breakthrough rates of 100 Mbps.
Designed with the special performance requirements of Japanese carriers in mind, Metalink's 100 mbps symmetric VDSLPlus provides fiber-like speeds over existing copper infrastructure and offers a cost-effective solution for bridging the last 200 meters to the subscriber.
"We have demonstrated our VDSLPlus technology to leading system vendors and carriers in Korea and Japan, and systems based on our 100Mbps symmetric VDSL chipsets are currently in the advanced development phase by leading Japanese and Korean vendors," said Metalink chairman and CEO Tzvi Shukhman.
Metalink stated that its wide bandwidth VDSLPlus technology supports record transmission speed in a real noise environment while maintaining spectral compatibility with existing services such as ISDN, ADSL, and ADSL2+ among others. The company noted that the low power consumption and small die size of the VDSLPlus chipset make it an excellent choice for carriers looking for a cost-effective fiber extension solution.
