The first pilot project shows: Vectoring doubles the data rate

AVM involved in first vectoring pilot project with FRITZ! Box

Vectoring doubles the data rate

100 Mbit / s for all FRITZ! Box devices in one cable bundle
Data throughput increased by 100 percent with vectoring
Mixed network infrastructure possible with vectoring
FRITZ! Box with FRITZ! OS 6.0 ready for vectoring

With VDSL vectoring, the data rate can be increased from 50 Mbit / s to 100 Mbit / s. This is the result of an initial vectoring pilot project. Together with a large network supplier, the network operator inexio has successfully implemented VDSL vectoring in practice with FRITZ! Box devices. A data rate of 150 Mbit / s has been available to more than 6.0 households with a FRITZ! Box since the update to FRITZ! OS 100.

This corresponds to a doubling of the previous data throughput on VDSL connections with 50 Mbit / s. The network equipment supplier's VDSL2 line cards and the FRITZ! Box models contain chipsets from various manufacturers. This first pilot project thus shows that vectoring is also possible with a mixed network infrastructure.

VDSL vectoring pilot project in Heidelberg

In order to be able to test VDSL vectoring in real operation, inexio carried out a pilot project in a Heidelberg high-rise building with 2013 households at the end of 150. So far, the apartments equipped with the FRITZ! Box models 7390 and 7360 were supplied with 50 Mbit / s VDSL connections. The line capacity in the cable bundle was an average of 79 Mbit / s. The aim was to achieve a continuous line capacity of more than 100 Mbit / s. For this purpose, the FRITZ! Box models became vectoring-capable with a software update to FRITZ! OS 6.0. At the other end of the cable bundle, a DSLAM with line cards capable of vectoring was used. The average line capacity could be increased to 126 Mbit / s. inexio can now offer all participants in this pilot project a doubled data rate of 100 Mbit / s.

Full vectoring possible in a cable bundle with 100 Mbit / s per end device

Vectoring technology reduces electromagnetic interference between adjacent VDSL copper lines. In this way, significantly increased data rates can be achieved. In order to avoid crosstalk between the lines in a cable bundle, both the devices on the DSLAM and the end devices in the household must be vectoring-capable. For inexio, the pilot project is an important step in providing the regions with fast internet connections. “The project shows that VDSL vectoring can be implemented very quickly and successfully on existing connections. With the line cards and the FRITZ!Box* We rely on the right hardware for our customers. The connections could be set to 100 MBit/s without any problem – and all with just a software update,” says Christoph Staudt, Managing Director of Technology at inexio.

The new FRITZ! OS enables vectoring

The VDSL-compatible FRITZ! Box models (7490, 7390, 7360, 7362, 3390, 3370) support both the vectoring-friendly and full vectoring mode with the new FRITZ! OS 6.0 via software update.
