HISTORY
 HISTORY
Any history of data transmission starts with
Alexander Graham Bell and Samuel Morse,
two pioneers who came up with the idea of
transmitting data through copper wire.
These two great pioneers, Bell and Morse,
demonstrated principles that were important in
establishing the path for the ever-increasing
volume of data transmitted all over the
internet.
ANALOG: DIAL-UP INTERNET ACCESS
➢ An analog Internet connection is both
economical and slow

➢ The modern converts received analog

data to digital
➢ Typical Dial-up connection speeds range
from 2400 bps to 56 Kbps
ANALOG TO
DIGITAL
➢ Dial-up speeds satisfied early
internet browsing functions
➢ In the late 1980s, Joseph Lechleider demonstrated
the feasibility of sending broadband signals

➢ This was the beginning of the move from analog to

digital
The first efforts of this
new technology created
ISDN.
ISDN- Integrated Services
Digital Network
➢ ISDN speeds range from 64 Kbps to 128 Kbps
B-ISDN - BROADBAND ISDN
➢ Similar in function to ISDN

➢ Broadband ISDN has not been widely

implemented
➢ John Cioffi known as “the
father of DSL”

➢ Developed DMT ( discrete

multitone)
INTRODUCTION
➢ DSL stands for DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE

➢ Digital data does not require changing into

analog form and back to digital form

➢ Works by taking advantage of the unused

(higher) frequencies of your phone lines
Following are some of the key features of DSL:

❖ Distance-sensitive ❖ Internet connection ❖ Simultaneous use

technology is always ON of the phone line

❖ Internet Connection
❖ For voice as well ❖ High Speed (Mbps), via a regular
highly reliable and
as data traffic modem (56 Kbps max)
secure
DSL DEVICES
➢ DSL modems transmit data at the rate of
up to 160 Kbps over copper lines, up to
18000 feet
MODULATION TECHNOLOGIES

➢ DSL uses the Quadrature Amplitude

Modulation (QAM) technology to modify the
carrier signal

➢ DSL uses either CAP or DMT techniques, both

of which are based on QAM, but vary in their
implementation
 CAP
CARRIER-LESS AMPLITUDE PHASE

➢ Incoming data modules a single carrier that is

then transmitted down a telephone line

➢ The carrier itself is suppressed before the

transmission

➢ It is called “ carrier-less”
 CARRIER-LESS AMPLITUDE PHASE

➢ Carrierless Amplitude Phase(CAP) is an

encoding method that divides the signals into
two distinct bands:

1. The upstream data channel

2. The downstream data channel
 DMT
DISCRETE MULTI TONE
➢ This is a version of multi-carrier
modulation

➢ DMT separates the DSL signal into 256

channels of 4.3125kHz each

➢ DMT HAS 224 downstream frequency bins

( or carriers) and 32 upstream frequency
bins

➢ DMT constantly shifts signals between

DSL APPLICATION
➢ Interactive Video - movies on demand, video on
demand, video conferencing

➢ High-speed Data communication - Internet access,

Telecommuting, Remote LAN access, specialized
network access
TYPES OF DSL
As technology advanced, other forms of DSL became available. XDSL became the
common term for the whole DSL family, with variation:

❖ ADSL ❖ VDSL ❖ SDSL

(Asymmetric Digital ( Very high-bit-rate ( Symmetric Digital
Subscriber line) Digital Subscriber Line) Subscriber Line)

❖ RADSL ❖ HDSL ❖ ISN DSL

( High bit/ data rate
( Rate Adaptive Digital ( Integrated Service
Digital Subscriber
Subscriber Line) Digital Network)

➢ Both DSL and Cable Modem technologies offer
high-speed Internet access
➢ The two technologies differ on some fundamental
aspects such as:
➢ Speed
➢ Bandwidth
➢ Security
➢ Reliability
