Abstract



Introduction to DSL Technology Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology unlocks the potential of conventional copper pair telephone wire to deliver high-data-rate ("broadband") digital services. Learn how this technology "turbo charges" the telephone wires available at virtually every business and residence, and how this technology will effect you as a service provider, enterprise customer, and everyday consumer. DSL is one of the leading technologies for bringing "megabits to the masses" in the new emerging age of ubiquitous broadband access. This session includes introduction to the family of DSL technologies ("xDSL"); describes how this technology enables delivery of high-speed data, voice and multimedia over conventional telephone wires; overview of the equipment required to build a DSL network on top of existing telephony infrastructure; description of value-added services enabled by "mass-market" broadband access.

Life Beyond 56K 56K Is Too Slow to Provide a Satisfactory Consumer Internet Experience • Our century-old telephone network is designed specifically around the audible frequency range 0-4 kHz • Voice-band modems use tones in the audible spectrum and communicate via standard voice circuits (You can hear modems and fax machines “talking” to one another) • 56 kbps (“56K”) is the practical limit for voice-band modems • DSL uses inaudible high-frequency signaling to achieve megabit-transmission speeds 203 1085_06F9_c1

What is “Broadband”? “Broadband” = “Megabit” Data Rates • Common unit of measure: “T-1” = 1.544 Mbps • “Fractional” T-1s, starting around 384 kbps • Compare to current maximum voice-band modem speed of 56 kbps (“56K”)… 56K

Why is Residential Broadband Important? RBB Enables the Full Commercial Potential of the Internet • Fast downloads of “rich” content Graphics, animation, audio, and video

• Integrated services Data,Voice, and Video

• New Services Variable bandwidth, additional lines on-demand, multimedia conferencing

• Always on Constant interaction with a multitude of network-aware “Internet appliances”

• Real-time, person-toperson interaction

• Relieves voice networks overloaded with Internet traffic

Video conferencing, interactive gaming, multimedia collaboration 203 1085_06F9_c1

• DSL is a pair of “modems” on either end of a copper wire pair • DSL converts ordinary phone lines into high-speed data conduits • Like dial, cable, wireless, and T1, DSL by itself is a transmission technology, not a complete end-to-end solution • End-users don’t “buy” DSL, they “buy” services, such as high-speed Internet access, intranet, leased line, voice, VPN, and video on demand 203 1085_06F9_c1

Interoperability

Why it’s good…

Why it’s difficult…

• Enables competition and lower equipment costs for service providers and end-users

• Standard must specify physical layer (at all data rates) and framing

• Lower component costs for equipment manufacturers

• Value-added services require Layer 2/3 implementations

• Proliferation of CPE options for end-users

• Standards development takes time

• Retail availability of CPE (consumer mass market)
