Overview

This Ethernet-Over-VDSL2 CPE system consists of an end-user CPE
(Customer Premise Equipment) and a VDSL2 switch that are connected
by standard telephone cable. The VDSL connection delivers an Ethernet
data link rated up to 100 Mbps symmetric (full duplex), while
simultaneously supporting standard telephone services. The system can be
deployed in any multi-dwelling/multi-tenant environment (apartment
blocks, hotels, or office complexes) to provide both high-speed Internet
access and telephone services without any need for re-wiring.
VDSL switches combine both the data and phone signals coming from
your Internet and telephone service providers, and pass these signals
directly over standard telephone wiring to multiple users in the same
building. The CPE is used to separate these signals and pass them on to a
customer's computer and telephone equipment.
The VDSL2 switch is typically located in a wiring closet or other central
location of a multi-dwelling/multi-tenant unit, campus, or enterprise. An
Internet connection is provided from the ISP to the customer's building
over fiber optic cable, running Ethernet directly over a 1 to 10 Gbps
connection. This kind of WAN connection is referred to as Fiber To The
Building (FTTB). Data signals entering a site are first passed through an
Ethernet switch that segregates the signals for individual user connections,
and are then fed into the switch. Phone signals are also routed from PBX/
