font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>In a development that could have profound
impacts for Australia's NBN, and the ongoing negotiations between Telstra and
the Government, Alcatel-Lucent's Bell Labs has achieved a DSL downstream
bandwidth of 300Mbps over 400metres (100Mbps at 1km) using two copper pairs.</span></span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Alcatel-Lucent's press release
quoted Ovum analyst, Kamalini Ganguly, saying: "Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs'
DSL Phantom Mode lab test adds a whole new dimension to the ongoing '100Mbps
for all' debate. The fact that existing copper loops can facilitate 300Mbps at
400metres reshapes the whole next-generation broadband competitive environment
- and will open up a wide range of new business opportunities for 'traditional'
DSL players.<br>
<br>
"This announcement shows that Alcatel-Lucent is seriously looking at all
possible innovations to help its customers speed up the deployment of
next-generation access networks, through a smart mix of advanced copper and
fibre technologies."<br>
<br>
If the technology can be commercialised economically within the next few years
it could have a significant impact on Australia's NBN. Clearly the possibility
of its network being able to deliver 100Mbps via DSL to customers 1km from the
exchange would considerably increase the competitive threat the Telstra's existing
network could pose to the NBN.<br>
<br>
The throughput was achieved using a technology called "DSL Phantom
Mode". Gee Rittenhouse, head of Research for Bell Labs, suggested that it
has very real commercial possibilities.<br>
<br>
"What makes DSL Phantom Mode such an important breakthrough is that it
combines cutting edge technology with an attractive business model that will
open up entirely new commercial opportunities for service providers, enabling
them in particular, to offer the latest broadband IP-based services using
existing network infrastructure."<br>
<br>
According to Alcatel-Lucent, "At its core, DSL Phantom Mode involves the
creation of a virtual or 'phantom' channel that supplements the two physical
wires that are the standard configuration for copper transmission lines." <br>
<br>
'DSL Phantom Mode' appears to be a new phrase coined by Alcatel-Lucent - a
Google search produced no references that could not be traced back to
Alcatel-Lucent's press release - and the company's 'explanation' throws little
light on what it is or how it works.<br>
<br>
"Bell Labs' innovation and the source of DSL Phantom Mode's dramatic
increase in transmission capacity lies in its application of analogue phantom
mode technology in combination with industry-standard techniques: vectoring
that eliminates interference or 'crosstalk' between copper wires, and bonding
that makes it possible to take individual lines and aggregate them."<br>
<br>
The demonstration took place in a laboratory and Alcatel-Lucent says:
"Further research is being conducted to refine deployment models and
determine a specific set of customer premises equipment models compatible with
the DSL Phantom Mode technology."<br>
<br>
However equipment vendors, and telcos, have long held out the promise of
boosting DSL bandwidth by bonding together two or more pairs, using a technique
known as dynamic spectrum management.<span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
