Thanks to the ongoing competition between Telcos and Cable Providers, broadband technology—the technology that allows high speed internet services over existing infrastructure—is getting a whole lot better. The questions these companies have been trying to answer is: how you get faster service to subscribers while still keeping costs down? The answer is: G.Fast. G.Fast has […]
For ISPs prioritizing infrastructure upgrade spend, Ultra-fast G.fast broadband technology [300-500 Mbps] over existing copper is a dream come true. Just as a refresher, G.fast takes advantage of last mile configurations–provider to node to customer–to make this possible. But copper, as may installers know, has its limitations. For starters, it relies on very short lengths […]
Broadband costs have been rising. Many consumers find themselves wondering “how is it that Broadband Service providers can promise me sign-on packages of below $100 per month for bundled service, and in 2-years time charge upwards to $200 for the same service?” Part of the reason, is that in most locations these providers already have cabling […]
We’ve compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions about VDSL & VDSL2. If you’re interested in learning more about ADSL and ADSL2+, visit our ADSLs/2+ FAQ here. 1. What is VDSL/VDSL2? VDSL, or Very-High-Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber line, allows Internet Service Providers to provide fast connection speeds via legacy copper lines. VDSL and VDSL2 […]
If fiber and cable provide faster data rate transmission speeds than DSL services, have you ever wondered why many ISPs offer DSL? Why We Need DSL Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a type of access technology that delivers high-speed data via legacy copper lines. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will oftentimes opt for DSL technology to extend […]
As the demand for faster bandwidth continues to increase, Telecoms will now have the opportunity to offer broadband at fiber-like speeds and forego the expensive costs associated with deploying fiber-to-the-home (FTTH). G. Fast chipsets will allow Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to utilize their existing telephone copper lines to provide high-speed broadband services with speeds of up […]
Sckipio Technologies showcased its G.Fast technology at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show and teased broadband providers by streaming 4k content over traditional copper phone lines. The 16-port G.Fast chipset can stream content at up to 1 Gbps (actual speeds depend on distance from the distribution point) and gives internet service providers (ISP’s) the ability […]
Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) will have an opportunity to bring their customers faster internet speeds with G Fast chipsets. The DSL chips deliver Gigabit speeds to the last 250 meters over existing copper wires. Because speeds attenuate after about 300 meters, G Fast will work optimally in hybrid broadband network architectures with Fiber-To-The-Node (FTTN) applications. This makes it possible […]
