The operator also tried to adopt it as part of their <strong>Long Reach VDSL<\/strong> (LR-VDSL) trial but that has now been shelved (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/04\/openreach-start-removing-lr-vdsl-broadband-from-uk-trial-areas.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Prior to that the last time that we saw SRA being attempted on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s hybrid fibre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vdsl\">VDSL2<\/a> tech was as part of their <strong>Vectoring<\/strong> trials between 2014 and 2015 (vectoring is designed to remove crosstalk interference and thus improve performance), which ran into a fair few development challenges and only ever resulted in a highly targeted deployment of Vectoring (the SRA component of that trial was not a big problem).<\/p>\n<p>SRA helps to keep lines stable by varying the speed more effectively. A more technical explanation is to say that SRA can be used to &#8220;<em>reconfigure the total data rate by modifying the framing parameters and the bits and fine gains parameters<\/em>&#8220;. If the noise condition improves then SRA can be used to gradually increase the data rate again, potentially taking it all the way back up to what you had before a nasty bit of sudden noise impacted the line.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Openreach are going to try SRA on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vdsl\">VDSL2<\/a> again, albeit this time by itself rather than alongside Vectoring or any other more dramatic changes. Took them long enough.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\/orpg\/home\/updates\/briefings\/super-fastfibreaccessbriefings\/super-fastfibreaccessbriefingsarticles\/nga01218.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Openreach Statement<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This briefing is to inform CPs that we&#8217;ll be testing the impact of applying Seamless Rate Adaption (SRA) on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> VDSL2<\/p>\n<p>SRA will vary the speed of a line as noise margin changes, whereas today on NGA1, if the noise margin drops beyond a certain threshold, the line will retrain.
