G.SHDSL

G.SHDSL, known as Single-pair High-speed Digital Subscriber Line (ITU) or Symmetric High-bitrate Digital Subscriber Loop (DSL Forum), is used to cost-effectively transport broadband services over a single copper pair or over bonded multi-pairs. Because of its symmetric rates, high line quality and long reach, G.SHDSL is particularly suited for voice applications and cellular backhaul. It provides full-duplex transmission speeds of 2 Mbps over a distance of 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) with a single pair of copper wires.

Enabling aggregation and grooming of G.SHDSL timeslots, RAD’s G.SHDSL solutions work with standard ATM DSLAM and IP DSLAM equipment to allow service providers and emerging carriers to leverage their widespread DSLAM installed-base to deliver new, business-class Ethernet services. In addition, these devices support mobile operators in their migration to IP RANs, allowing them to replace expensive leased line connections with cost-effective dry copper links. RAD’s G.SHDSL solutions maximize the capacity of available G.SHDSL lines by using IMA bonding over 4 × 2-wire copper pairs, providing up to 9.2 Mbps for distances up to 8 kilometers (5 miles).
