Abstract
An apparatus for multiplexing a digital data input into DSL outputs is disclosed. In one disclosed aspect, the apparatus may be embodied in an enclosure having a height of one rack-unit. The apparatus may include a transceiver for providing connectivity to a digital data line providing 24 DS0 channels. The apparatus may also include at least one DSL transceiver for multiplexing DS0 channels onto corresponding DSL-compatible transmission media using DSL technology. The apparatus may be mounted within a remote terminal (RT), and may receive the digital data line from within the RT.
Claims32
An apparatus for multiplexing a digital data line with multiple DSL outputs comprising:
- an enclosure having a height of one rack-unit;
- a transceiver disposed within said enclosure for providing connectivity to a digital data line providing 24 DS0 channels to said apparatus;
- and
- N DSL transceivers disposed within said enclosure for multiplexing 24/N DS0 channels onto a corresponding number of DSL-compatible transmission media using DSL technology.
An apparatus for multiplexing a digital data line with multiple DSL outputs comprising:
- enclosure means for enclosing the apparatus within a height of one rack-unit;
- transceiver means disposed within said enclosure for providing connectivity to a digital data line providing 24 DS0 channels to said apparatus;
- and
- DSL transceiver means disposed within said enclosure for multiplexing said 24 DS0 channels onto a predetermined number of DSL-compatible transmission media using DSL technology.
A Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) distribution system comprising:
- a carrier node comprising;
- an enclosure having a height of one rack-unit;
- a transceiver disposed within said enclosure for providing connectivity to a digital data line providing 24 DS0 channels;
- and
- N DSL transceivers disposed within said enclosure for multiplexing 24/N DS0 channels onto a corresponding number of DSL-compatible transmission media using DSL technology;
- and
- at least one outside plant Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) operatively coupled via said DSL-compatible transmission medium to said carrier node, said RTU configured to provide POTS service to a plurality of subscribers.
