DSL Broadband Networks - Remaining Relevant in a FTTx World

Technology Analysis

DSL technologies continue to enjoy dominance over the broadband market worldwide. Telco’s that were predominantly involved in laying the copper infrastructure see the lack of future in expanding their DSL infrastructure due to limitations in bandwidth and are looking at future proof options. Advanced flavors’ such as VDSL2 and technologies like Vectoring, Bonding and Phantom mode show potential for next generation speeds from the copper network to deliver dual and triple play service.

This report offers analysis on the penetration of DSL broadband in the fixed broadband market and its implications for Telco’s providing internet services. Five year forecasts on subscribers and revenues split by major geographical region. The report discusses the key inhibitors and drivers of growth and technological developments within this space.
