BellSouth to give a taste of DSL.Lite

From NWFusion.com...

By Tim Greene
Network World, 11/18/98


BellSouth next month will run digital subscriber line
(DSL) gear through its paces to find out just what it
takes to offer up easy-to-install broadband Internet
access over regular phone lines.

The carriers will trial DSL hardware that integrates
directly with telephone voice switches made by
Lucent. The point of the exercise is to find out the pros
and cons of handling DSL lines directly on the
switches vs. using a DSL access multiplexer
(DSLAM) in front of the switches.

BellSouth has committed to using DSLAMs made by
Alcatel, but in some circumstances it may make more
sense to have the customer's DSL lines terminate
directly on the shelf of a Lucent 5ESS switch,
according to John Cahill, director of advanced
networking for BellSouth. That will depend on a
variety of circumstances including the type of switch
available near the customer's site.
