[AusNOG] VDSL2 DSLAM's

[Paul Julian]

Zyxel and Planet are other good options, Planet is cheaper and offers an 8 port or 24 port DSLAM with QOS an profile options etc and all the usual stuff, this is good for small site installs or progressive installs so you can grow as the need arises, Zyxel offers a 24 port DSLAM and chassis based DSLAMs with line cards, you can mix ADSL and VDSL line cards if desired and I think there are some other options as well, there is ADSL fallback too on the pizza box models.
 
Planet has a very good VDSL2 bridge which is handy for installs which don’t need a router or that need a more advanced router than the consumer stuff, they all support vlans for direct vlan connectivity for EU’s as well.
 
Zyxel can get expensive but experience for us has shown the DSLAM’s are great, modem/routers not so great, and the cheaper Zyxel stuff is only 17a not 30a, Planet is 30a right through most gear and it works very well.
 
We are going to look at the Huawei stuff soon but don’t have any experience with it as yet, it looks pretty good though and is what TPG are using also I believe for their FTTB installs.

Hi,
 
Another question to the brains trust of ausnog.
 
What is currently the best option for an in-building VDSL set-up.
 
I've heard the Huawei MA5616 is a good option (http://enterprise.huawei.com/en/products/network/access-network/mdu/en_ma5616.htm), but wondered what everyone thinks.
 
Using the Huawei example, I'd need something equivalent to:
 
- CCUB Control Board
- 2 x GE Interface Network Side
- 2 x 16-channel VDSL2 board (30a, over POTS, built-in SPL) User side.
 
One 16 channel will probably do to start.
 
Options for good compatible CPE options would be appreciated as well.
 
Of course the other question would he who's a good supplier for said gear.
 
Thanks!
 
Jamie
