In their drive to offer faster broadband access over telephone lines, operators are turning to VDSL2. PTT’s course DMB “DSL systems” has been updated to cover the impact of VDSL2 on the protocols and equipment in the operator’s network, in particular the extended role of Ethernet VLANs.

This course also discussed other techniques that maximise access speeds including dynamic spectrum management.

PTT’s courses are regularly updated to ensure their relevance as this course update demonstrates. Watch this space for news of more course updates or email info@ptt.co.uk to receive our newsletters.
