Qualcomm announced at COMPUTEX 2016 that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, introduced end-to-end GigaDSL products that enable broadband operators to seamlessly transition deployments from VDSL to Gigabit access technologies. Designed to meet the requirements for the migration for existing VDSL by operators, especially in Korea and Japan, the new QCO5700 for multiple dwelling units (MDU) and the QCM5720 for customer premises equipment (CPE) can provide up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) broadband over existing telephone lines while maintaining interoperability with carriers’ existing modems and seamless coexistence with deployed infrastructure.
The new GigaDSL chipsets are ideal as operators keep pace with consumer demand and national mandates for broadband access, with minimal service interruption. They are the industry’s first wireline solutions to support Gigabit data rates up to 100 m on existing telephone lines providing a high-speed extension for VDSL without losing any spectrum capacity. The existing deployment base can be upgraded to products based on Qualcomm Technologies’ latest GigaDSL processors, without costly and time intensive wiring on-premise.
Several leading manufacturers are already building or preparing to build products based on the QCO5700 and QCM5720, such as Sumitomo Electronic, NEC and Wave Electronics. Sampling for Qualcomm Technologies’ GigaDSL chipsets is expected to be available June 2016, both for “Fiber to the Building” infrastructure and CPE.
