What is xDSL?

A DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) enhances the data capacity of the existing telephone line running between the local telephone company switching offices and most homes and offices. While the wire itself can handle higher frequencies, the telephone switching equipment is designed to cut off signals above 4,000Hz to filter noise from the voice line. Several DSL services offer speeds of up to 52 Mbits/sec. DSL services are either symmetrical (traffic flows at the same speed in both directions) or asymmetrical (the downstream capacity is higher than the upstream capacity).

As data rates increase, the carrying distance decreases. That means that users who are beyond a certain distance from the telephone company’s central office may not be able to obtain the higher speeds for DSL maximum transmission distances. A G.SHDSL connection is a point-to-point dedicated circuit, meaning that the link is always up and there is no dialing required.

G.SHDSL

G.SHDSL (Single-pair High-speed Digital Subscriber Line) is a symmetrical, bi-directional DSL service that operates on one twisted-pair wire and provides data rates up to 2.3 Mbits/sec. (The “G.” in “G.SHDSL” is defined by the G.991.2 ITU (International Telecommunication Union) state-of-the-art industry standard).

The Benefits of G.SHDSL:
•Continuous Connection•Dedicated Bandwidth•Investment Protection•Low Maintenance•Distance Capabilities

You are always online.

Line speed is “symmetric,” i.e., the same bandwidth in both directions.

Scalability. Offers a flexible upgrade path. You can choose a higher access speed yourself - no site visit is necessary.

Connectivity requires no complex manual configuration; G.SHDSL equipment is Plug and Play.

G.SHDSL achieves 20% better loop-reach than older versions of symmetric DSL. (Loop reach defines speed that can be attained at various distances).
