XDSL Technology

► I) Describe history of XDSL technology

► II) Classification

► III) Describe XDSL connectivity technology

► IV) Nowaday technology used

 I) Introduction

► Used to connect the high speed networks

without the much cost that is associated
with the dedicated circuits and frame relay
network technologies
► XDSL is a technology that allows the data
transmission over the regular telephone
lines
► XDSL is a coding technique that allows
digital signals up to 50 Mbps over the
copper pair cables
► XDSL technology uses more bandwidth on
the regular phone lines.
►   DSL is widely used in the
telecommunication networks and in the
broadband services to the corporate
offices and the home users
► The associated flavors and the common
types of the DSL are HDSL, XDSL, VODSL,
ADSL, VDSL and SDSL
► XDSL with the lower data transmission
rate like 1.5 Mbps is being used in the
residences
► XDSLis a high speed connection but on the
downside it has some distance limitations

► I’m using ADSL

II) Classification

► 1.ISDN (Integrated Services Digital

Network )
-The beginning of XDSL
-BRI (Basic Rate Interface) provides two
64kbps channels (B channel) for voice or
data channel and one 16kbps (D channel)
for control information.
-Low-speed packet switching
 2. HDSL - high-bit-rate digital
subscriber line
► HDSL based on T1/E1 of America/Europe

► HDSL1 allow transmission of 1.544 Mbps or

2.048 Mbps over 2 or 3 pairs
► HDSL 2 allow transmission of 1.544Mbps
► The advantage of HDSL is a type of
technology does not need repeating stations
 3, VDSL - very-high-bit-rate
digital subscriber line
► The highest speed

► 52Mbps,the upload can reach 2,3Mbps

 4, ADSL - Asymmetrical DSL
► ADSL provides a
asymmetry bandwidth
upload
on a pair of wires. Download

► Brandwidth of
ADSL 1 1,5Mbps 16kbps
downloading>
Brandwidth of
uploading ADSL 2 3Mbps 16kbps

ADSL 3 6Mbps 64kbps

5, RADSL (rate-adaptive digital
subscriber line)
►A type of ADSL which has a variable speed
