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:
“Men are rewarded for learning the practice of violence in virtually any sphere of activity by money, admiration, recognition, respect, and the genuflection of others honoring their sacred and proven masculinity. In male culture, police are heroic and so are outlaws; males who enforce standards are heroic and so are those who violate them.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
