COMDEX Converging telecom demands fuel broadband networking By Lili Goleniewski Another major effort underway is the modernization of the local loop, providing broadband access. One approach taken by a large variety of telcos is the introduction of high-speed digital subscriber lines, a variety of techniques affectionately grouped under the heading xDSLs. These techniques bring new life to the twisted copper pair running into homes and businesses worldwide. One of these, ADSL (Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line), promises transmission rates of up to 6-8Mbps in the downstream direction, and up to 640kbps bidirectionally. Chip sets containing ADSL transmission and MPEG digital compression circuits are being produced by Motorola, Lucent, and Alcatel. Trials are being run at 20 telephone companies. daily.comdex.com
