Model 3202 Getting Started Guide 2 • Applications overview

Introduction

The Model 3202 is Ethernet First Mile (EFM) compliant. EFM—also called pure Ethernet—lowers OPEX and CAPEX by resolving one of the biggest deficiencies in carrier networks, the lack of interworking arrange- ments among different protocols such as Frame Relay, TDM, ATM, and of course DSL. Using EFM allows for more efficient and trouble-free networking environments. Service providers can concentrate on providing dif- ferentiated services instead of concentrating on resolving their latest issue of protocol conversions.

Typical application

The Model 3202 G.SHDSL EFM modems are ideal for delivering remote network access for inter-office con- nectivity. Businesses can take advantage of the already installed copper infrastructure and pass up to 22.8 Mbps of symmetrical data reliably at distances of up to 1.8 miles (2.9 km).

Utilize pre-existing copper infrastructure for mobile backhaul to reduce Last Mile transport costs and to con- nect to new packet-switched networks.
