About the HotWire 8600 DSLAM

What is the HotWire 8600 DSLAM?

The HotWire 8600 Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), which can be installed in the Central Office (CO) or at a customer location adjacent to the CO, is a low start-up cost alternative to the HotWire 8800 DSLAM chassis. Through the use of Digital Subscriber Line technology, DSLAM provides simultaneous high-speed data access (digital) and POTS service (analog) over the same twisted-pair telephone line. Support of this simultaneous access requires the installation of POTS splitter equipment at both ends of the line (i.e., at the Central Office and at the customer premises).

The HotWire 8600 DSLAM can be configured to operate with multiple types of endpoints installed at the customer end of the telephone loop to allow users at remote locations to access Internet Service Providers or corporate networks by means of the DSLAM.
