ST Demonstrates EoVDS for the First Mile

STMicroelectronics demonstrated Ethernet over VDSL (EoVDSL) in the First Mile (EFM) at the IEEE802 plenary meeting in San Francisco last week. The company said traditional DSL deployments have used ATM framing as the physical interface for copper in the last mile, but that it was seeing a strong interest in Ethernet for delivering voice and data communication to the home. ST's Zipperwire VDSL chipset, which was introduced in March 2003, delivers aggregate bit rates in excess of 100 Mbps over short loops.
