FRITZ!Box 7330 165
ADSL2+
short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2 with extended
bandwidth
ADSL2+ (G.992.5) is a further development of the ADSL stan-
dard.
ADSL2+ offers a doubled frequency range used for down-
stream transmission, and thus double the maximum band-
width achievable for downstream to 24 Mbit/s.
ADSL2+ is completely downward compatible, meaning that
terminal devices compliant with ADSL and ADSL2 can also be
operated on ADSL2+ lines, although they cannot exploit the
advantages of ADSL2+.
bandwidth management
Bandwidth management distributes the available bandwidth
of an Internet connection among various Internet applica-
tions.
The bandwidth management of the FRITZ!Box ensures that
the speech quality during telephone calls over the Internet is
not reduced by surfing activity. The FRITZ!Box adjusts all up-
loads and downloads to the currently available bandwidth.
Furthermore, the FRITZ!Box grants Internet telephony connec-
tions a higher priority than Internet data connections. This
largely prevents undesired disruptions during Internet tele-
phone calls.
cable modem
A cable modem is a device that transmits data over cable tele-
vision networks, which is used for connecting broadband In-
ternet connections via cable connections (cable Internet). The
cable modem is located between the cable connection and
the Internet router at the customer’s premises. It is connected
to the computer either over LAN or the USB port. Some cable
modems are combined with a WLAN access point that estab-
lishes a radio connection to the computer.
