1.4 Applications for the Prestige

Here are some example uses for which the Prestige is well suited.

1.4.1 Internet Access

The Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your Prestige supports the TCP/ IP protocol, which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) providers. A DSLAM is a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a backbone network interface/connection (for example, T1, OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay). Think of it as the equivalent of a modem rack for ADSL. In addition, the Prestige allows wireless clients access to your network resources. A typical Internet access application is shown below.
