I think BS has cheered up all people on ECI dslams now as at least we now know its coming and we not been abandoned.
And we can hope this also means that vectoring is heading our way to.
It sure does. This will not be an overnight thing, and as always patience is a virtue. But, it
will start to be introduced to the larger (MA5603) Huawei DSLAMs initially, then to the smaller (MA5616) Huawei DSLAMs at a later stage. I'm sure ECI will follow at some point but can't comment further on that.
A line can be in 3 different states on a vectored DSLAM depending on the customers CPE:
Vector (Full) = the modem is fully compatible with vectoring and on a DSLAM where vectoring is running it will synch in vectored mode and get a speed result based on that.
Vector (Friendly) = the modem is not fully compatible with vectoring, but can provide some information about cross talk to the DSLAM, this means the vector engine gets results from this which it can use to improve performance for those that are compatible, but this modem it’s self will get a standard VDSL speed.
Vector (off) = this is also known as not vector friendly, the modem is not able to support vectoring at all and provides no useful information to the DSLAM about cross talk, and it only gets standard VDSL speed.
Exciting and interesting times lie ahead, methinks ?? I hope it delivers great results, and that the
'Glass half-empty' brigade give it a chance to be implemented before it gets slated ??
