ECOSYSTEM

Broadband technology
An always-on data connection that
is able to support interactive services
including Internet access and has the
capability of the minimum download
speed of 256 kilo bits per second
(kbps) to an individual subscriber
from the Point Of Presence (POP) of
the service provider

Applications of Broadband

WIRELINE BROADBAND
TECHNOLOGIES
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
Cable Modem
Fiber
Wireless
Satellite
Broadband over Power lines (BPL)

DSL technologies
o High bit rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL)
o Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)
o Very high-speed Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL)
o Single-pair HDSL (SHDSL)
o ISDN based Digital Subscriber Line (DSL ISDN)

ADSL characteristics
1.Asymmetric ? The data can flow faster in

one direction than the other. More precisely,

Data transmission is faster downstream (to
the user) to the subscriber than upstream
(from the user).
2. Digital ? No type of communication is
transferred in an analog method. All data is
purely digital, and only at the end,
modulated to be carried over the line.
3.Subscriber Line ? The data is carried over a
single twisted pair copper loop to the
subscriber premises
