Huawei hurls Gigabit broadband across 100 meters of old copper
There's little point in having a super-speedy optic backbone if broadband gets yellow-flagged on the final straight between junction box and home. But Huawei claims it's developed prototype DSL technology that can deliver 1Gb/s downstream and upstream over common twisted pair copper telephone cable for distances of up to 100 meters. This could provide a "cost effective option for telecom operators building ultra-broadband access networks," but will it be enough to overcome America's anxiety towards Chinese-made telecoms infrastructure? In any case, some lucky people have had fiber-to-the-home Gigabit broadband for months already.Huawei hurls Gigabit broadband across 100 meters of old copper originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:49:00 EDT.
