Alcatel-Lucent VDSL2 vectoring line shipments reach 5 million

Alcatel-Lucent today said its VDSL2 vectoring line shipments reached 5 million, strengthening its presence in fixed-line ultra-broadband access business.

The company said VDSL2 vectoring shipments is now surpassing non-vectored VDSL2.

Alcatel-Lucent said VDSL2 vectoring allows operators to deploy ultra-broadband services of up to 100 megabits-per-second over their existing copper telephone networks, making it economical to deploy as a complement to fiber-to-the-home (FTTH).

The time-to-market advantage of VDSL2 vectoring also allows operators to meet regulatory targets for broadband coverage, and provides an alternative to competing cable, fiber or LTE services, said Alcatel-Lucent.

The company took around 18 months from launch to shipping the first million lines, and less than a year later to add another 4 million to that total.

Alcatel-Lucent said its VDSL2 vectoring customers include Belgium’s Belgacom, Israel’s Bezeq, KPN in the Netherlands, Telecom Argentina, Telecom Italia, TE Data in Egypt and NBN Co. in Australia. The company has also conducted more than 60 trials of the technology.
