Very-High Speed Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) in
Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs)
Bell Canada announces the planned commercial introduction of the
Terminal-to-Network interface for Very-High Speed Digital Subscriber Line
(VDSL) applications in Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs). Service is expected to
commence in IIIQ2001 in selected areas of Ontario and Quebec, subject to
market requirements and technical feasibility. A trial is expected to
commence in IIQ2001.
This service will use existing in-building wiring having metallic
continuity to provide simultaneous voice and data capability between the
main terminal room and the customer demarcation point within a MDU. VDSL
equipment will be provided by the VDSL service provider at both ends of
the in-building-wiring. The connection to the local loop will remain an
existing POTS copper interface.
This Disclosure does not apply to MDUs where the in-building-wiring is
not owned by Bell Canada.
Compatibility Impact:
None expected.
Documentation:
None required.
