VES-1012 VDSL Ethernet Switch
The VES-1012 VDSL Ethernet switch multiplexes traffic from 12 VDSL subscribers into one or two 100M Ethernet ports that connect to any Ethernet switch or broadband router. With the VES-1012, Ethernet over VDSL can run up to 1.2km at the speed of 18Mbps, which proves to be a promising technology and revenue generation tool for building owners and service providers to deliver bandwidth-consuming applications such as video on demand and video conferencing.
