Introduction to DSL
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) means Digital subscriber
loop is a communication medium, which is used to
transfer internet through copper wire telecommunication
line.
Along with cable internet, DSL is one of the most popular
ways ISPs provide broadband internet access

ADSL(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber
Line)
What is ADSL?
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is
a technology that facilitates fast data transmission
at a high bandwidth on existing copper wire
telephone
lines to homes and businesses.
It is generally offered at downstream internet connection data rates
from 512 kilobits per second (Kbps) to about 6 megabits per
second (Mbps).
It is a cost-effective method for internet access at faster speeds
compared to a traditional dial-up connection.
How ADSL works?
ADSL works on existing copper phone lines by using a DSL filter,
or splitter, to isolate the bands with higher frequencies.
At the central office, or telephone exchange, the line ends at the
DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM) , where an additional splitter
segregates the voice signal to the phone network.
ADSL was designed to exploit the one-way nature of
most multimedia communication.
Application of ADSL
High-Speed Multimedia Internet Access
Tele-work(Telecommunication)
Distance Learning
Video Conferencing
Entertainment-Online Gaming
HDSL (High-Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber
Line)
• What Is HDSL ?
• HDSL, or High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line, is a modulation
technology similar to Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)
• Earliest version of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL).
• low-cost alternative to dedicated T1 links for wide area networks (WANs).
How HDSL Works?
• Operates in the same way as ADSL except that it is always
symmetrical.
• maximum bandwidth for HDSL transmissions is less than
for ADSL
• carry both voice and data over a single communication link
• maximum distance for HDSL transmission is generally 3700
meters
USES (APPLICATIONS)
• typically used for connecting bridges, routers, and telephone
equipment such as Private Branch Exchanges.
• can also be used for private data networks, connections between
points of presence.
• not widely implemented at the customer premises level, which uses
the more popular ADSL or G.Lite for providing customers with
high-speed Internet access.
• easier to maintain and provision than conventional T-carrier span
designs because HDSL requires a repeater only at both ends of the
line, not every 1800 meters (6000 feet), as required by
conventional T1 lines.
VDSL ( Very-High-Speed Digital Subscriber Line)
What is VDSL?
VDSL is a digital subscriber line (DSL)
technology providing data rate faster than
Asymmetric Subscriber Line(ADSL).
VDSL offers speeds of up to 52 Mbps downstream & 16 Mbps
upstream.
Over a single pair of twisted pair of copper wire using the
frequency band from 25 kHz to 12 MHz.
VDSL is highest in terms of bandwidth technology and supports
applications both asymmetric and symmetric.
Working OF VDSL
VDSL operates over the copper wires in your phone line in much
the same way that ADSL does, but there are a couple of
distinctions.
The key to VDSL is that the telephone companies are replacing
many of their main feeds with fiber-optic cable.
By placing a VDSL transceiver in your home and a VDSL
gateway in the junction box, the distance limitation is neatly
overcome.
VDSL gateway converts the signal from the fiber-optic cable and
sends it to the transceiver.
Applications
VDSL is capable of supporting applications such as high-definition
television, as well as telephone services (voice over IP) and general
Internet access, over a single connection.
VDSL is deployed over
existing wiring used for
and lower-speed DSL
connection.
VDSL transfers data and connects you to the Internet through your
telephone lines in a more effective way.
Conclusion
Depending on where you live, you might be able to get both cable
modem and DSL Internet service for your PC. But coverage is
spotty. The first thing to do is find out whether your house is
covered.
Don't be surprised if you can get only one type of service where
you live right now. In both cases, the phone companies have to
install a lot of very expensive equipment before the service is
available for you.
