VDSL Standards
VDSL uses up to 7 different frequency bands, which enables customization of data rate between upstream and downstream depending on the service offering and spectrum regulations. First generation VDSL standard specified both quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and discrete multi-tone modulation (DMT). In 2006, ITU-T standardized VDSL in recommendation G.993.2 which specified only DMT modulation for VDSL2.
| Version | Standard name | Common name | Downstream rate | Upstream rate | Approved in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VDSL | ITU G.993.1 | VDSL | 55 Mbit/s | 3Mbit/s | 2004-06-13 |
| VDSL | ITU G.993.2 | VDSL2 | 100 Mbit/s | 100 Mbit/s | 2006-02-17 |

Famous quotes containing the word standards:
“It gives me the greatest pleasure to say, as I do from the bottom of my heart, that never in the history of the country, in any crisis and under any conditions, have our Jewish fellow citizens failed to live up to the highest standards of citizenship and patriotism.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
