The Benefits of HDSL

Significant benefits can be derived from the use of HDSL for the delivery of advanced digital services.
  • HDSL decreases the cost of installing T1/E1 lines, and significantly decreases the amount of time required to install them.
  • HDSL allows you to extend connectivity using standard 24-guage (0.5 mm) copper cable over distances of up to 5 miles or 7 km.
  • The adaptive signal processing algorithms employed by HDSL result in much higher transmission quality that repeatered T1/E1.
  • On the remote end of the line, HDSL uses a minimal amount of power, making remote powering from the central office feasible.
  • HDSL solutions are deployable in over 99 percent of the local loop plant.
  • No cable conditioning, bridged tap removal, or cable plant reinforcement is required with HDSL.
  • The elimination of repeaters increases overall system reliability and transmission performance.
  • No separate monitoring equipment is required with HDSL.
  • Through today's advanced electronics, HDSL is immune to crosstalk, while yielding signal quality comparable to fiber optics, bit error rate 10^-10 (BER 10^-10).
