A VDSL (Very high bitrate Digital Subscriber Line) modem is the fastest communication method among the existing telephone lines (xDSL). VDSL is mainly used for internet access in condominiums and apartments.
A modem is a device that converts analog signals from the telephone line and digital signals from the Web into each other. This device enables internet communications over telephone lines.
VDSL modems are required for a VDSL Internet line. As mentioned above, VDSL modems are necessary for communication via telephone lines when using VDSL Internet in housing complexes, etc. By installing VDSL modems in the house, it is possible to send and receive analog and digital signals.
Although VDSL communication is faster than other xDSL communication methods, it is slower than fiber-optic communication, at about one-tenth the speed of fiber-optic communication.
The following is an explanation of the function of VDSL modems. A modem is a device that can convert between analog signals used in telephone lines and digital signals used in personal computers. Traditionally, dial-up connections using telephone lines were the standard way to connect to the Internet, and modems that converted between analog and digital signals were indispensable.
In the VDSL system, an optical line is connected from an electric wire to the main wiring panel called the "MDF room" in the housing complex, and from there branches out to each residence via telephone lines. Since a telephone line is used, a modem is required to access the Internet even with the VDSL system, and "VDSL modems" are used for this purpose. In the optical wiring system, which is similar to the VDSL system, optical lines are extended from an electric wire to each residence, so unlike VDSL, all communication lines are optical lines. Thus, the difference in maximum speed between VDSL and optical wiring is due to the fact that the telephone line is used or all optical lines.
