Verizon to use VDSL in MDUs

Verizon will be using Westell VDSL DSLAMs to distribute its FTTP FiOS service in Multiple Dwelling Units (MDUs). Westell was not able to provide any details on this deal.

Using VDSL to distribute fiber broadband services in MDUs is common. VDSL will operate over existing telephone wires at speeds approaching 100 Mbps due to the short length of these in house copper links.
