Comtrend Corp, supplier of broadband, VoIP and data networking equipment, has announced that two U.S. regional telecom companies, Rural Telephone and Bayland Telephone, have adopted Comtrend’s NexusLink ADSL2+ Bonded modems as their exclusive residential platform for ADSL2+ deployment.
The selections make it possible for both companies to deliver IPTV, HD programming and other next-generation services over copper.
Bonded ADSL2+ technology is an alternative to fiber and other digital services distribution methods.
Bonded ADSL2+, defined through the International Telecommunication Union’s ITU-T G.998.1 standard, combines two or more copper pairs as a single connection.
The technology allows telcos to deliver up to 48 Mbps of downstream throughput speed over a bonded set of copper pairs.
Without the need for adding extra infrastructure, telcos have the ability to deliver High-Definition Video along with higher data speeds at long distances from a Central Office.
Comtrend’s NexusLink modem is specifically designed to make ADSL2+ Bonded technology possible.
The NexusLink modem supports Triple Play architectures and doubles the bandwidth performance of traditional ADSL2+ modems.
The device has four 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11g wireless LAN, dual ADSL line and USB interfaces including host function for peripheral devices.
As a fully functional residential gateway, the NexusLink has full routing capabilities including traffic management and TR-069 capability.
Comtrend was first to announce availability of Bonded ADSL2+ CPE products in 2005.
ADSL2+ Bonded technology gives telcos an immediate solution to meet the demands of the broadband market.
Only conventional standards compliant ADSL2+ equipment is required at the central office or network node, with a Bonded ADSL2+ gateway like NexusLink the only CPE required.
