ASSIA and Lantiq Sign Vectored VDSL Cross-license Deal

Lantiq and ASSIA Inc. announced a collaboration and cross-license agreement for the management of vectored systems.


Lantiq has shipped nearly two million vectored VDSL ports to its DSLAM vendor customers.

ASSIA’s DSL Expresse management software manages approximately 20 percent of all DSLs worldwide.

The companies said the combination of ASSIA's DSL Expresse Smart Vectoring management software with Lantiq vectored VDSL chipsets enables broadband service providers to automatically plan, predict, manage and optimize the performance of their vectored VDSL networks, thereby ensuring the best possible customer experience and maximizing their return on investment.

“By collaborating with ASSIA, we expect to leverage the full benefits of vectored VDSL, regardless of deployment scenario, and to set the highest standards for product performance for our customers,” said Lantiq CEO Dan Artusi. “The agreement also assures substantial IP protection for customer deployments based on Lantiq chipsets and ASSIA software tools.”

“ASSIA is delighted to be working with Lantiq on the products and solutions that make the deployment and management of vectored VDSL networks easier and faster,” said ASSIA CEO and Chairman, Dr. John Cioffi. “As a result of this agreement, service providers worldwide have the opportunity to improve customer experience and economically deliver high-performance broadband services to the digital home.”
