Zhone Technologies Unveils New VDSL2 Vectoring Card at FTTH London
Global leader in FTTx network access solutions adds MXK VDSL2 48-port line card
Oakland, CA - Feb 19, 2013 - Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global
leader in FTTx network access solutions, today announced that it has expanded
its MXK Multi-Service Access Platform to include the new MXK VDSL2 48-port line
card, which will be launched at FTTH Conference 2013, London (February 19- 21;
Zhone booth S15). The new vectoring card gives operators the ability to take
advantage of VDSL2 vectoring for fiber-like speeds over current copper
infrastructure. While speeds vary, VDSL2 can deliver asymmetric and symmetric
aggregate data rates up to 200 Mbps downstream and upstream on twisted copper
pairs.
The emergence of VDSL2 vectoring provides great opportunity for service provides
across the globe and will be a topic of focus at this year's FTTH Conference
taking place in London. According to a recent report by RVA, the annual direct
investment in FTTH networks will reach $4.7 billion by 2017 and total investment
in FTTH over the next five years will be $18 billion. Main drivers for this
include: the delivery of multiple HDTV channels, second screen viewing, and the
ever-increasing popularity of video sharing. This creates mounting pressure on
traditional asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL)-based access networks to
meet the rapidly growing bandwidth demand - which account for approximately two-
thirds of broadband subscriber lines worldwide.
Zhone's VDSL2 vectoring card is a high-density high-bandwidth module for the MXK
819/823 and MXK 319 chassis and provides a viable solution for operators looking
to provide competitive download and upload speeds. The Broadcom-based card
supports up to profile 17a, as well as ADSL2 fallback, link bonding and
vectoring and ADSL compatibility, allowing service providers to provide both
VDSL and ADSL service.
"Vectoring enables millions of households and workplaces to have fiber-like
speed over copper lines," said Brian Caskey, chief marketing officer at Zhone.
"The high performance levels seen through the latest VDSL2 cards increase
bandwidth and give operators the means to address competitive and regulatory
challenges, while they prepare their networks for the migration to fiber."
In a recent report on VDSL2 and vectoring, Broadbandtrends forecasts that 27
percent of all cumulative VDSL2 ports will be vectored by the year 2017. EMEA
represents the largest opportunity with 45 million VDSL2 ports.
In addition to providing high-speed downloads and uploads, VDSL2 vectoring also
identifies crosstalk interference and records findings in a Channel Crosstalk
Matrix at the Vectoring Control Entity (VCE). Utilizing noise and interference
cancelling DSP technology, the solution eliminates the most dominant disturber -
self Far End Crosstalk (self-FEXT). Self-FEXT cancellation techniques are
particularly beneficial with short cable lengths, less than one km. Any VDSL2
line in the vector group can operate as if it were the only active line in the
binder group.
Zhone's FiberHome portfolio of products and solutions, which includes the MXK
platform, fulfills the network requirements of both international and domestic
customers' broadband expansion efforts for residential users. Additionally,
growing opportunities in business services delivery provide ongoing prospects
for Zhone to further globally deploy the MXK with the company's FiberLAN
solution.

various applications, including VDSL vectoring, please visit Zhone at booth S15
during the FTTH Conference 2013 in London.
