"The one possible difference I'm inferring from the release is that they may be leaning towards a Fast Ethernet type of delivery at 100 Mb/s, whereas the highest previous speeds were stated at 52 Mb/s VDSL speeds down, and 2 to 6 Mb/s up(?). But the Ethernet is only a guess on my part, due to the ready supply of engineering in place for 100 Mb/s Ethernet, and the fact that 100 Mb/s is an odd-ball outside plant speed as of now." Thanx for the pointer Frank. How does gigabit ethernet sound? The Marconi/Reltec DISC system uses a low powered ONU. Low powered vs passive? Why the diff.? MRV supplies the triplexer for the Reltec DISC. "Its architecture also offers an easy migration path to services incorporating asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL), 100BaseT or Gigabit Ethernet and ATM25 directly to the end user -- in effect, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) functionality." Is this effective, or simply marketing hype? exchange2000.com Here's the Mitsubishi APON sys FSAN. Is the Marconi/Reltec just a different flavor, or something different? Thanx for any input/clarification. biz.yahoo.com Regis
