With downstream bandwidths of up to 80 Mbps and 40 Mbps upstream, ZyXEL P-871M offers higher data transfer rates and provides larger bandwidths than traditional ADSL gateways. The expanded bandwidth allows small-to-medium business users to enjoy quality symmetric and asymmetric applications like video conventions and file exchange services, etc. that were previously unavailable.
As VDSL provides much higher bandwidth than other DSL technologies, it enables services providers to offer a variety of value-added services ranging from broadband Internet access to bandwidth-consuming video applications over the existing telephone wires.
The P-871M can be implemented quickly, even if there is only one phone line; and users can also keep the current POTS or ISDN services while adding new VDSL services.
