NewNet has reported successfully testing a new bonded broadband solution that is capable of delivering speeds of up to 40Mbps over the providers unbundled (
LLU) platform.
The service bonds the lines together and uses a special router designed by ZyXEL Communications that was shipped to NewNet for the first trials in this country. Following the successful testing of the service the launch will take place in May this year:
Lee Marsden, ZyXEL Communications Sales Director said: "
ZyXEL is delighted to be working in partnership with NewNet, assisting their product development and helping them to open up new ADSL services on their LLU enabled exchanges."
Peter Coates-Buglear, CEO, NewNet plc commented:
This service will be unique in it's capability for 'plug and play' bonded service, no other units we looked at were this easy to use. We are pleased that several months of hard work and liaison with ZyXEL and other suppliers has resulted in a new service that we will roll out on our LLU enabled exchanges. The 40Meg service is yet another example of NewNet pushing the boundaries and setting new standards for service delivery.
It's not completely clear which DSL derivative is being used for the service, although we suspect that it is ADSL2+.
