WAN Interfaces
Routers are available whose WAN interfaces conform to various DSL standards. The
WAN interface of the router is displayed on the Web Management Router Information
Page or on the via the command line interface each time the router reboots, as in the
following SHDSL example:
ADSL
ADSL (Asymmetric DSL) Delivers high-speed data and voice service over the same
line. Speeds are determined by the distance from the CO; as the distance increases,
the speed available decreases.
• Downstream Speed - 1.5 Mbps to 8 Mbps
• Upstream Speed - 64 Kbps to 800 Kbps
• Max. Distance From CO - 18,000 ft. (3.4 miles)*
• Key Applications - Small businesses and home applications, where
downstream speeds are more important than upstream (surfing the web, for
example)
G.Lite (gee’-dot-light)
G.Lite is a variation on ADSL; DSL that the end user can install and configure. It is not
yet fully plug and play, and has lower speeds than full-rate ADSL.
• Downstream Speed - 1.5 Mbps
• Upstream Speed - 384 Kbps
• Max. Distance From CO - 18,000 ft. (3.4 miles)*
• Key Applications - Consumer Internet access
SDSL
SDSL (Symmetric DSL) Downstream speed is the same as upstream. Does not
support voice connections on the same line. Speeds are determined by the distance
from the CO; as the distance increases, the speed available decreases.
• Speeds - 160 Kbps to 2.3 Mbps
• Max. Distance From CO - 22,000 ft. (4.1 miles)*
• Key Applications - Business Internet access
