Modem provides up to 30% in additional range

At CeBIT 2002, RAD Data Communications will be unveiling its new ASMi-52 modem, which uses ITU-T G.991.2 standard SHDSL technology to extend the range of digital interfaces by up to 30%.

At CeBIT 2002, RAD Data Communications will be unveiling its new ASMi-52 modem, which uses ITU-T G.991.2 standard SHDSL technology to extend the range of digital interfaces by up to 30%.

The ASMi-52 enables carriers to provide voice and data services over long distance copper infrastructure.

In addition, it allows enterprise customers to build their corporate networks both quickly and easily.

With G.SHDSL technology, the ASMi-52 is able to support symmetric data rates up to 2Mbits, maximising distance versus datarate functionality.

In this way, users are provided with the maximum data rate supported by their lines.

Available with various user interfaces, including serial data interfaces and E1, the ASMi-52 is suitable for both data and voice networks.

"G.SHDSL provides a longer coverage distance than other DSL technologies", explains Avi Katz, Senior Product Line Manager at RAD Data Communications.

"This enables carriers and enterprises to cover more sites without the use of repeaters or fiber infrastructure, and that translates into significant savings".

Katz adds.

"It is primarily for this reason that G.SHDSL is attracting widespread attention around the world".

The ASMi-52 uses PAM-16 line coding, equalisation, adaptive filtering and echo cancellation to compensate for line impairments, bridge taps and mixed cabling.

This provides high immunity to background noise and enables transmission over long distances and poor quality lines.

The ASMi-52's standards compliance affords the carrier a confidence in the modem's performance and the knowledge that it will not interput to other services.

The ASMi-52 is available both as a stand-alone unit that can be mounted in a standard 19in rack, and as a card for RAD's LRS-24 Last Mile manageable access system.
