Boosting Internet speeds without fiber-optics with DSM
A group of technology and telecoms companies, including Spanish giant Telefonica, joined forces on Tuesday to boost the Internet speeds of copper telephone wires to almost equal that of fiber-optic cable. The new technology, dubbed Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM), promises speeds to rival those of fibre-optic networks, much faster than currently available on broadband — DSL.
The companies developing the new technology will form a consortium to develop DSM, which they expect to provide reliable, fiber-optic-like rates over the existing telephone copper wire infrastructure. DSM is expected to have a significant impact on the market, as the DSL industry is looking for solutions beyond VDSL2 to increase subscriber broadband rates (speeds),” the new consortium said in a statement.
