The telways VD-R8 is a Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) module with one Ethernet port (on 1 RJ-45 connector) and eight VDSL ports (on RJ-11 connector or BNC connector or Terminal Block). The module is a DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) accommodating well proven Ethernet and VDSL technologies to extend Ethernet over single-pair phone line by using a VDSL signal. Up to 100/60 Mbps transition bandwidth within 300m and 40/10 Mbps for 1km long range connections provides ultra-high performance to the pervasive telephone line network, and has the advantage of minimum installation time and minimum expense by allowing video streaming and data to share the same telephone pair without interference.

The telways LRE solution including the CO (Central Office) site module VD-R8 and CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) site module VD-S delivers everything needed to quickly deploy a high-speed IP-based network for providing high-speed Internet access and video-on demand services, in addition to voice services. The VD-R8s provides a Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Port connects to a Router or Ethernet switch and acts as the bridge to the Internet for end-users connected through the VD-R8s 8 VDSL ports.

The VD-R8 CO device can be easily configured through either web-based management software or linux command line interface. The intelligent web-based management software, allows for streamlined configuration of the VD-R8, as well as VD-S CPE devices through a single IP address. The VD-R8 can be configured on a per-link basis for transmission mode, rate limitations, and signal-to-noise (SNR) margin.

The VD-R8 module provides comprehensive hardware diagnostics and is easy to maintain. The VD-R8 module is designed to build in to a 1U rack-unit. The resulting compact, cost-effective form factor offers systems integrators, small business and building owners an attractive LRE solution.
