What is a Hotwire DSL Router?

The Hotwirer DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) Router operates as an IP router connecting a DSL link to an Ethernet network. This system provides high-speed access to the Internet or a corporate network over a traditional twisted-pair copper telephone line to the end user.

DSL Technologies Supported

Paradyne's Hotwire DSL network supports the following types of technologies:

HHotwire IDSL (ISDN DSL) products provide IDSL multirate symmetric packet transport and can operate over a connection with an ISDN repeater or digital facilities. Data rates of 64 kbps, 128 kbps, or 144 kbps can be configured.

HHotwire RADSL (Rate Adaptive DSL) products are applicable for both asymmetric and symmetric applications. The 1 Mbps symmetric operation is ideal for traditional business applications while the 7 Mbps downstream with 1.1 Mbps upstream asymmetric operation provides added bandwidth for corporate Internet access. RADSL products can also save line costs by optionally supporting simultaneous data and voice over the same line.

HHotwire SDSL (Symmetric DSL) packet-based products provide high-speed symmetric DSL services with bandwidth for business applications. These products are configurable from 144 kbps up to 2.3 Mbps. This gives service providers the opportunity to sell multiple services with a single product.
