xDSL modem
 

 

Digital subscriber lines (xDSL) are a set of technologies that use sophisticated modulation schemes to send data onto copper wires. They are called the last-mile technologies because they are used only for connections from a telephone switching station to a home or office, not between switching stations. xDSL modems are similar to ISDN. Both operate over existing telephone wires, and both need a short connection (less than 20 feet) to a central telephone office. There are several types of xDSL modems in use today such as ADSL, SDSL, HDSL:
• ADSL - Asynchronous DSL: Supports data transfer rates of up to 9 Mbps when receiving data (upstream), and up to 640 kbps when sending data (downstream).
• SDSL - Symmetric DSL: Supports data transfer rate of up to 3 Mbps in both direction, upstream and downstream.
• HDSL - High data-rate DSL.


Products & Services
Network modems (modulators-demodulators) are devices or programs that allow computers to transmit data over telephone lines. They convert digital computer data to analog sound waves and then demodulate the carrier signals to decode the transmitted information.
xDSL chips provide digital subscriber line (DSL) connectivity in a system-on-chip platform. The term xDSL refers collectively to all types of digital subscriber lines.
Internet service providers (ISPs) furnish data communications like Ethernet and ATM to businesses.
Line drivers extend the transmission distance between terminals or computers connected along private lines or networks.
Telecom transformers are used in applications which require high bandwidths and fast switching speeds. They isolate the signal between primary and secondary grounds. This product area includes DSL, xDSL, T1, E1, ISDN, LAN, WAN, Ethernet, ATM and modem transformers.
