DSLAM: Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer

To satisfy ever-growing demands for bandwidth from the end customer, Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), Local Exchange Carriers (LECs), and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are developing architectures which deliver broadband communications all the way to the home and business.

A key element in this architecture integrates the use of ATM over ADSL -- the Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer or DSLAM.

Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology uses existing twisted-pair copper plant to potentially offer subscribers broadband services such as high-speed internet access, LAN interconnect for telecommuters, and video-on-demand.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) supports multi-media service delivery, and supports specific Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for the various kinds of data traffic. Please see our ATM pages for a more complete discussion.

The DSLAM is a network element (NE) that has been defined to support high-bandwidth applications at the edge of the public network. With the ability to support data and voice services over existing subscriber lines, the DSLAM can help RBOCs and ISPs minimize the cost and maximize the efficiency of their networks.

Motorola Semiconductor will be a major supplier of these key technologies and offer complete system solutions to help equipment manufacturers realize full-featured, cost-effective products.
