And, let's not overlook this: Extended Reach: The new HiGain '98 systems support up to five spans, using four new doublers, with the ability to line power four spans (three doublers) and the remote unit, extending reach to beyond 60,000 feet, or 11 miles, over 24 AWG cable. This feature allows service providers to offer HDSL-based T1/E1 services to areas outside of the previous 24,000 foot range, formerly provisioned by installing costly, labor intensive repeatered T1 or fiber optic equipment.
11 miles! Quite a leap forward from the previous standard, no? Dale Knipschield, where are you? bill c.? Am I completely lost, or does PAIR seem to be on the right track with this stuff? |
