THE MULTIDSL FAMILY

Ascend's MultiDSL™ products offer the first integrated solution that lets service providers and corporations offer multiple xDSL services at speeds ranging from 128 Kbps to 7 Mbps. This turnkey solution includes both the Central Office Equipment (COE) and the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) required for implementing DSL technologies immediately in a network. MultiDSL technologies use the existing copper telephone lines to support high-bandwidth applications such as remote access, Internet access and telecommuting.

By installing MultiDSL line cards into the MAX TNT, service providers can cost-effectively support a wide range of xDSL services along with analog, ISDN and Frame Relay with a single manageable platform. End users can take advantage of these high-speed services to download high-resolution graphics, participate in videoconferencing or transmit large files. Ascend's MultiDSL products offer the first and only DSL implementation that supports ISDN Digital Subscriber Line (IDSL), Symmetric DSL (SDSL) and Rate Adaptive Asymmetric DSL (RADSL) for Carrierless-Amplitude Phase Modulation (CAP) and Discrete Multi Tone (DMT).

• The ISDN DSL products offer end-to-end IDSL solutions that let users transmit full duplex data at 128 Kbps and at distances up to 18,000 feet. For distances over 18,000 feet, U-loop repeaters and/or Subscriber Loop Carriers (SLC) may be used to extend IDSL services.
• The Symmetric DSL products provide everything needed to transmit full duplex data to and from a central site or the Internet at speeds up to 768 Kbps and at distances up to 12,000 feet.
• The Rate Adaptive Asymmetric DSL product line includes support for both Carrierless-Amplitude Phase and Discrete Multi Tone. Depending on the application and the type of RADSL, users can transmit data at speeds up to 1 Mbps on the upstream portion of the call and up to 7 Mbps on the downstream portion of the call.
