Is there a logical way to distribute the termination? You might be able <br>
to get better performance (not that you perhaps care, in this case) at <br>
minimal additional cost if you can do building-local termination of each <br>
customer circuit and then backhaul on e.g. bonded VDSL2 or G.FAST over <br>
shorter distances (perhaps hopping building to building).<br>
<br>
I'm assuming there's no data grade copper or fiber if there's no coax. <br>
Obviously if you've got those, distributed termination makes even more <br>
sense.<br>
<br>
If you do want a centralized solution, an Adtran TA5006 (the small <br>
chassis) with 6x 48 port VDSL2 combo modules (with or without vectoring, <br>
depending on your needs) would do the job (though it fills the chassis <br>
and doesn't allow for expansion, so the full-size TA5000 may be <br>
desirable). I've played (and am playing with) the same system but with <br>
GPON termination and have been happy with it so far.<br>
