ADSL
(asymmetric digital subscriber line)
Introduction
ADSL is a form of DSL, a data communications
technology that enables faster data transmission over
copper telephone lines
ADSL is capable of providing up to 50 Mbps, and
supports voice, video and data.
ADSL is the #1 Broadband Choice in the World with
over 60% market share
ADSL is now available in every region of the world
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
Used for applications which require
greater download bandwidth but require
relatively little in opposite direction like
Web browsing; File downloads
An ADSL circuit connects an ADSL modem
on each end of a twisted pair telephone
line creating three information channels
A high speed downstream channel
A medium speed duplex channel
A basic telephone service channel

ADSL STANDARDS:
There are two competing and incompatible
Modulation standards for ADSL .
Discrete MultiTone (DMT): The official ANSI
standard for ADSL.
Carrier less Amplitude/Phase (CAP) system
:An earlier and more easily implemented
standard, which was used on many of the early
installations of ADSL
CARRIERLESS
AMPLITUDE/PHASE(CAP)
DMT Processor:
Modulation/demodulation
Discrete
Multitone line coding
techniques use multiple carriers, or
sub-channels, to transfer data to the
far-end
DISCRETE MULTITONE
APPLICATION
High-speed Internet access
Corporate Local Area Network
(LAN) access
E-Commerce
Distance learning
Video-On-Demand
Video conferencing
Medical imaging
Real-time information exchange
Entertainment - online gaming
Conclusion
ADSL is a high speed access to
internet.
ADSL has advantages but it also has
limitations.
ADSL needs to extend the access
distance.
ADSL might improve the speed.
ADSL needs to be standardized.
Conclusion
The future looks bright for ADSL. While
yesterday's obstacles and negative
predictions fade away, many are
watching ADSL with renewed interest.
The "need for speed" is increasing, and
the ADSL industry is working hard to
make sure that broadband ADSL
continues to be the global choice.
