Chapter 2Overview of current CATV network pThe asymmetrical nature of ADSL technology makes it ideal for Internet/Intranetsurfing, video-on-demand and remote LAN access.ADSL requires a voice/data splitter, commonly called a POTS Splitter (Plain OldTelephone Service) to be installed at the consumer's home or business location. Thesplitter separates voice from data transmissions. For simultaneous use of thetelephone and data access, additional phone wires may need to be installed at thelocation. Full rate ADSL provides service up to a maximum range of 12,000 feet(about 2 miles) from the provider company's central office to the end-user. Fordistances up to 15,000–18,000 feet (about 2.8-3.4 miles) the data rate decreases to1.5 Mbps downstream and 64 kbps upstream [68].• G.Lite: This technology, often called ADSL Lite, Splitterless or Universal ADSLand now also known as G.992.2 [58], does not require a POTS splitter to be installedat the consumer's home or business. ADSL Lite provides bandwidth downstream upto 1.5 Mbps and upstream up to 512 kbps. ADSL Lite provides service up to amaximum range of 12,000 feet (about 2.0 miles) from the central office. Under goodhome conditions and loop quality the range can be extended up 18,000 feet (≈ 3.4miles) [68]. This technology will be primarily targeted towards residential customers,for combined data and circuit/IP voice services over a single twisted copper looppair. In addition, it is expected that the data rates of this standard will meet the needsof the average consumer for some time to come [9].• SDSL: Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL) delivers high-speed datanetworking over a single-pair of copper phone lines, at the same speed in both theupstream and downstream directions. Speed ranges achieved by this technology are384 kbps, 768 kbps, 1 Mbps, 1.544 Mbps (T1 service over two copper pairs) or up to2.048 Mbps (for E1 streams over three copper pairs) at a maximum range of 12,000feet (about 2.3 miles) [11]. SDSL is ideal for business applications that requireidentical downstream and upstream speeds, such as video conferencing orcollaborative computing as well as similar applications appropriate for ADSLtechnology. SDSL uses either CAP modulation or the same kind of line-modulationtechnique employed in ISDN, known as 2B1Q.2-17
