Chapter 1: Introduction

Ideal for Internet surfers

The ADSL version of DSL was designed for applications in which the user receives high volumes of data but only transmits relatively small volumes. A typical example for this would be access to the world wide web (www). Only a few commands (mouse clicks) are required to initiate the download of very large volumes of data such as graphics, texts, audio or video files. The user typically only sends very small amounts of data across the Internet connec- tion.

With an ADSL connection, a user can download at up to 8 Mbps (“down- stream”) and upload at up to 800 Kbps (“upstream”). These maximum rates can be reduced as required by the ADSL provider. A typical access plan might specify, for example, 768 Kbps download and 128 Kbps upload speed.

All services via a single cable—thanks to the splitter

With ADSL, all traditional telephony applications (telephone, fax, answering machine, PBX) can still be used without restrictions. So-called splitters make this possible. Splitters are devices that separate the telephone line's “voice frequencies” from the “data frequencies” and ensure that the signals are for- warded to the appropriate networks. Voice signals are passed on to the exist- ing telephone network, while data signals are forwarded to their destinations (i.e. Internet providers) via high-bandwidth network connections.

A splitter is also used at the subscriber end to permit ADSL modems/routers and conventional telephone equipment to be used at the same time.
