Lantiq Announces Industry First VDSL2 Vectoring Chip Enabling Full System-Level Crosstalk Noise Cancellation

Vectoring with full system-level crosstalk noise cancellation more than doubles data rates and reach for next generation networks based on VDSL2

MUNICH and NEUBIBERG, Germany, Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Lantiq, a leading supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies, today announced first customer shipments of its VINAX(TM) IVE1000 System-Level Vectoring Engine chip. Noise cancellation technologies - standardized in G.vector - eliminate crosstalk, but only system-level vectoring solutions, like the new Lantiq vectoring engine device, more than double data rates and reach to meet operators' next generation needs. Lantiq's new VINAX IVE1000 demonstrates a breakthrough in full system-level vectoring capability, scalability and expandability up to 384 ports, considered to be ideal for delivery of triple-play broadband services, including multiple streams of HD-quality TV, Internet and voice.

Highlights

    --  Major milestone towards broad deployment of vectoring in the field, the
        VINAX IVE1000 is the first highly integrated ASSP solution suitable for
        volume deployment of system-level vectoring solutions supporting up to
        384 VDSL2 lines.
    --  Supports full cancellation and partial cancellation for the most
        cost-effective, future-proof broadband infrastructure deployment.
    --  Used in Central Office (CO) or neighborhood/in-building cabinets, the
        VINAX IVE1000 uses advanced signal processing techniques to cancel
        Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT) between any of the VDSL2 lines in a copper
        bundle. By eliminating crosstalk service providers are able to achieve
        100 Mbps symmetrical and beyond.
    --  Major reduction in system power consumption: Up to 20% power saving in a
        fully-vectored system (compared to non-vectoring) as a result of optimal
        balancing of transmission power.
Comments

    --  Lee Ratliff, Principal Analyst, Broadband and Digital Home, IHS iSuppli
        Corporation: "System-level VDSL2 vectoring is a critically important
        tool for service providers looking to extend the performance of their
        copper network. It provides high performance in a very cost effective
        manner. Lantiq's VINAX IVE1000 System-Level Vectoring Engine ties
        together multiple line cards - up to 384 VDSL2 lines - enabling an
        entire binder to be vectored for the greatest benefit."
    --  Martin Schenk, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Lantiq's
        Access Networks Business Unit: "VDSL2 vectoring was defined by the ITU
        to enable service providers to boost the bandwidth on their widely
        deployed copper infrastructure to 100 Mbps and beyond. By delivering the
        industry's first VDSL2 vectoring chip for system-level crosstalk noise
        cancellation for up to 384 ports, Lantiq provides the most scalable and
        best performing solution to allow service providers to capitalize on the
        potential of their copper access networks."
Lantiq Vectoring Solution

    --  With VINAX(TM) V3, carriers can install "vectoring ready" VDSL2 line
        cards (which support ADSL2/2+ through VDSL2 30MHz standards) today,
        requiring only a remote software upgrade when the VINAX IVE1000-based
        central vectoring card is added at the CO or in a local cabinet.
    --  Connected to a vectoring standard-compliant CPE device such as the
        Lantiq XWAY(TM) VRX200, this combination allows the implementation of a
        complete end-to-end vectoring solution. Lantiq's XWAY VRX200 CPE device
        is "vectoring ready" today, as such only a simple software upgrade is
        necessary for full vectoring functionality.
What is Vectoring?

    --  Approved as an ITU Standard (G.vector or G.993.5) in March 2010,
        vectoring is a Dynamic Spectrum Management Level 3 technique (DSM Level
        3) that coordinates signal strength across multiple lines by real time
        crosstalk mitigation. The benefits of crosstalk cancelation are largest
        when all lines in a binder are managed (i.e., at the system level).
    --  The Lantiq VINAX(TM) Vectoring System is compliant with and is capable
        of supporting all features defined in ITU G.993.2 (VDSL2), G.993.5
        (G.vector) and ITU G.997 (G.ploam). The solution applies to all VDSL2
        profiles and supports up to 384 VDSL2 ports by cascading multiple VINAX
        IVE1000 devices. This high level of scalability, coupled with the
        compelling features offered by the VINAX V3 chipset, results in a
        solution that is ideally suited to a wide range of applications such as
        MDU, MSAN and DSLAM.
