VDSL (Very high data rate Digital Subscriber Line) is a broadband transport technology for twisted copper pairs operating at data rates of up to 52.8 Mbit/s with corresponding maximum reach ranging from 1000 feet (300 meters) to 4500 feet (1500 meters) of 24 gauge wire. VDSL offers tremendous promise as a means to provide the next generation of high-speed networking technology over copper telephone lines. VDSL is referred to as a last-mile technology, as it is used for inter-connections between a telephone switching station and a home or office, and is not used for interconnecting switching stations.
