M/HDSL Overview

Hotwiret Multirate High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (M/HDSL) products maximize customer service areas by varying the DSL line rate. This ensures symmetric DSL connectivity over a wide range of telephone line distances and transmission line qualities.

Hotwire products can transport at full (2.048 Mbps) or fractional payload rates over a 4-wire, full-duplex circuit over varying distances based on the conditions of the 4-wire loop. Examples include support for router, multiplexer and PBX connections on 24 gauge (.5 mm) cable up to 21,000 feet (6.4 km).

Hotwire M/HDSL is equipped with an automatic configuration capability that reduces the M/HDSL installation process to a simple plug and play mode. Simply connecting the units to the line automatically configures the customer for the maximum data rate supported by the local loop. M/HDSL units can also be configured at fixed line speeds to achieve maximum distances.
