VECTORING BOOSTS COPPER ACCESS MARKET
ALU LEADS THE PACK IN EXPERIENCE, FEATURES AND AVAILABILITY

Operators conflicted over fixed broadband

investments, give nod to Alcatel-Lucent
Around 2/5 of service providers interviewed
plan to deploy VDSL2 system-level vectoring
Alcatel-Lucent was named as the top FTTH
vendor by 70% of the operator respondents

DSL Acceleration - Making it work

[Vectoring] has important benefits,
including much lower capex than FTTH,
commercial availability, standardization,
and widespread applicability in existing
networks.
