Ikanos launches new family of VDSL chipsets

Includes iQV technology to deliver triple play applications

Ikanos Communications, has introduced its Velocity family of low-power VDSL access chipsets. The company said that the new devices provide up to 100 Mbps symmetric bandwidth and operate at sub 1 Watt (W) per port.

It also includes Ikanos Quality Video(iQV) technology, which provides delivery of triple play applications, including multi-channel IPTV, data transmission, video on demand (VoD) and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).

According to the company, its iQV is a combination of ITU G.inp compliant retransmission and Rapid Rate Adaptation technologies which enables the chipset to adjust its data rate instantly to provide optimal quality in any line condition.

The symmetrical 100/100 Mbps and asymmetrical 100/50 Mbps Velocity chipsets provide improved performance surpassing all loop conditions specified in the Broadband Forum's WT-114 VDSL2 Performance Test Plan, the company claimed.

Ikanos added that the velocity chipsets are designed to help equipment manufacturers meet the energy efficiency standards that are emerging in Europe and many parts of Asia.

Michael Gulett, president and CEO of Ikanos, said: The combination of technologies we have built into Ikanos Velocity chipsets not only significantly improve performance and stability, they dramatically reduce the power required to deliver broadband service around the world.
