ASSIA to Share Insights on Advances in Vectored VDSL Services at DSL Acceleration Conference

REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 11, 2013) - ASSIA, Inc., a leading solutions company for broadband service providers, today announced that ASSIA Vice President of Product Management George Ginis will deliver a presentation, "Dynamic Spectrum Management for Vectored VDSL Services," at the DSL Acceleration 2013 conference on April 24, 2013, in Paris.

Dr. Ginis is the co-inventor of vectoring and the author of numerous fundamental DSL papers and patents in the areas of vectoring, dynamic spectrum management, and automated diagnostics and management. His presentation will cover topics that include:

• Transitioning to vectored VDSL services with legacy VDSL and unbundled loops
• Using dynamic spectrum management (DSM) to achieve the coexistence of vectored VDSL with legacy lines
• Allowing differentiation among resellers of vectored VDSL services with bit-stream loop unbundling requirements

Transitioning to vectored VDSL is an important priority for many service providers today, as vectored VDSL provides a cost-effective and efficient technology that can deliver broadband speeds in excess of 100 Mbps. Increasingly, consumers are demanding high-speed services for activities such as social interactions and streaming movies on multiple devices in the digital home. The presentation provides an excellent opportunity to learn about transitioning to vectored VDSL while achieving coexistence of vectored VDSL with legacy lines.
