DSL & Categories

DSL is a technology that provides high-bandwidth internet access over existing copper telephone lines. It comes in several varieties, including ADSL which provides higher download speeds for residential use, VDSL which can achieve very high speeds over short distances, HDSL which uses repeaters for longer lines at increased cost, and SDSL which provides symmetric upload and download speeds. DSL allows internet access over traditional phone lines at speeds greater than standard dial-up or digital modems.

DSL

DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE


Introduction

 High bandwidth internet connection.

 For home and business.

 Uses copper telephone wire for data


transmission.
 Speed of transmission greater than Analog and
Digital modems.
 Data communication over existing local loops.
Categories of DSL

 ADSL (Asymmetric DSL)

 VDSL (Very high bitrate DSL)

 HDSL (High bitrate DSL)

 SDSL (Symmetric DSL)


ADSL

 Asymmetric DSL.

 High bitrate in downstream than in upstream.

 Particularly designed for residential purposes.

 Not suitable for business – High bandwidth in

both directions.

 Each system can decide on its bandwidth division.


VDSL

 Very high bitrate DSL.

 Uses coaxial fibre optics or twisted pair cable.

 Suitable for short distance.

 Downstream speed (25 – 55 Mbps)

 Upstream speed (3.2 Mbps)


HDSL

 High bitrate DSL.

 Uses repeater for longer distances.

 Increased cost.

 2 Twisted pairs (Full duplex)


SDSL

 Symmetric DSL.

 Full duplex symmetric communication


supporting upto 768 Kbps.

 Data rate same in both directions.

 Alternative to ADSL.
