Telecom equipment vendor Alcatel-Lucent said Israeli mobile operator Bezeq will use its VDSL2 vectoring solution to upgrade broadband network.
Alcatel-Lucent in a statement said Bezeq’s national broadband network serves 1.2 million subscribers throughout the country.
By utilizing Bezeq’s existing copper line and optical fiber infrastructure, Alcatel-Lucent’s VDSL2 vectoring solution will enable Bezeq to offer faster broadband connections needed for services such as video streaming and online gaming.
Alcatel-Lucent’s VDSL2 vectoring technology will enable Bezeq to provide homes and businesses with speeds up to 100Mbps. VDSL2 vectoring uses noise-cancelling technology that removes the crosstalk between multiple copper lines in a bundle so that each can operate at its best and deliver higher bit rates
Yuval Keinan CTO of Bezeq said that the ultra-broadband market in Israel is heating up very quickly with the introduction of bandwith-demanding IP applications. Alcatel-Lucent’s VDSL2 vectoring solution will enable Bezeq to leverage its existing infrastructure to meet the customer demand for ultra-broadband in the fastest and most economical way.
