VDLS2 is Australian public switched telephone network in the first quarter of 2008. It has been standardized as ITU G.993.2, an enhancement to G.993.1 (VDSL). Its performance deteriorates quickly from a theoretical maximum of 250Mbps at 'source' to 100Mbps at 0.5 km and 50 Mbps 1km, but degrades at a much slower rate from there. From 1.6 km its performance is equal to ADSL2+. This long-range performance is its main advantage over VDSL which can be used effectively only on short lines. EFTel is partnering with Pipe Networks (ASX: PWK) and Huawei Technologies. EFTel's major projects manager, Luke MacKinnon, said: "After dialogue between EFTel and telcos of varying sizes throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas, it is clear to us that VDSL2 is also the technology which will be best suited to a fibre to the node (FTTN) environment in the future. If and when FTTN occurs, the network infrastructure will be redeployable."{moscomment}
