  • Digital Loop Carrier (DLC)
    Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) Definition The local loop is the physical connection between the main distribution frame in the user's premises to the telecommunications network provider. Digital loop carrier (DLC) technology makes use of digital techniques to bring a wide range of services to users via twisted-pair copper phone lines Overview The telecommunications infrastructure has undergone a great deal of change recently, and it seems that the rate of change increases exponentially as time passes. For example, DLC technology and the local loop will become more important in the future in delivering the new services that customers will require. This tutorial first addresses the history of subscriber carriers because it is important in providing clues to the future. It will then discuss some of the early next-generation digital loop carriers (NGDLC) that began to appear in the 1980s, as well as the NGDLC as a cost-effective solution for suburban and rural applications. Finally, it will explore the likely direction that loop technology will take in the future and how to enable the market for some of the more advanced services that are expected. Topics 1.

History of Subscriber Carriers The history of subscriber and loop carriers is based on the initial deployment of loop electronics, which was driven primarily by transmission needs (i.e., trying to obtain better-quality transmission over longer distances).

  • Solid State Relays Are Ideally Suited for Use in Flammable Surroundings, and in Environments with High Electrical and Magnetic Noise
    Clare Overview Clare is a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation, and is conveniently located close to Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Clare designs, manufactures, and markets a wide variety of semiconductor devices, and is a major designer and manufacturer of optically isolated electronic products. Clare manufactures one of the industry’s broadest lines of Solid State Relays (SSR), featuring galvanic input-to-output electrical isolation from 1500Vrms up to 5000Vrms; a wide selection of optocouplers and linear optocouplers; and optically isolated AC Power Switches. Clare SSR products are rapidly replacing electromechanical relays in many applications, making it a leading supplier to the Telecommunications, Medical, Security, Utility Metering, and Industrial Control industries. Replacing electromechanical relays with smaller, more-reliable optically isolated SSRs improves safety and lowers costs, while minimizing equipment size and enhancing overall system performance. With no moving parts, no coils, and no contacts, Solid State Relays are ideally suited for use in flammable surroundings, and in environments with high electrical and magnetic noise. For the Telecommunications Industry, Clare manufactures a broad range of products that includes phone-line interface and monitoring devices, DC Termination devices for xDSL and ISDN applications, and Central Office products. Clare’s newest entries into the Central Office market include several new Line Card Access Switch devices with high transient immunity: 1500V/ms. These robust devices have led to the development of monolithic high voltage switching ICs, powered from 3.3V digital supplies, that interface to industrial controls, instrumentation, automatic test equipment, and medical applications (see the new CPC7514). Clare’s expertise in high-voltage and power devices supports a growing line of standard devices.

  • ADSL) Services to Remote Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) Locations
    Extending Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Services to Remote Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) Locations Definition Digital loop carriers (DLCs) consolidate the voice traffic of remotely located customers onto a few transport lines running back to the central office (CO), thus reducing the cost and space requirements of serving those customers. Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) technology is used to transport large amounts of data traffic over existing copper telephone lines—up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 kbps upstream—while simultaneously supporting plain old telephone service (POTS). Overview This tutorial discusses the process of delivering ADSL services to remote end- users fed by DLC systems. With increasing suburbanization, areas outside urban centers are experiencing a rapid growth in both businesses and new residential communities. These new populations are prime candidates for high-speed data services such as ADSL. Therefore, as demand for high-speed data access grows, being able to cost-effectively deliver ADSL to these outlying areas, which typically receive their communications services via DLC systems, becomes increasingly important. Delivering ADSL to DLC–fed end-users is a difficult challenge to meet because ADSL does not work with DLC systems without some sort of infrastructure upgrade. However, solutions are being developed, and some of these are quite promising. This tutorial provides a brief background of the challenge of delivering ADSL to DLC–fed end users, as well as a number of ways this challenge is being addressed. The tutorial places particular emphasis on remote access multiplexer (RAM) solutions. Topics 1.

  • Bt8954 Pcmx Voice Pair Gain (VPG) Framer
    network access products Bt8954 PCMx Voice Pair Gain (VPG) Framer Flexible Framer for VPG Market, Increasing PSTN Switch Capacity Utilization The Bt8954 framer forms the foundation for a complete low-cost voice pair-gain system when combined with the Conexant Bt8960 or RS8973. Creating a voice PCM interface for Codecs, the Bt8954 combines frame, overhead, and signaling information with the PCM payload for transport over a DSL interface. And the Bt8954 supports from 2-18, 64 Kbps channels or up to 36, 32 Kbps ADPCM compressed channels. When combined with the Bt8960, a 4-voice system is possible with > 5km reach without ADPCM compression. This allows high speed fax and data modems to operate above the 9600 baud limit compared with previous generation which uses 32 Kbps ADPCM systems based on ISDN U-Interface chips. V.34 data and fax modem performance is maximized through the use of single frame strobes, low jitter PLL, and long reach Conexant HDSL technology.

  • Network Migration
    Technical Report TR-004 Network Migration December 1997 ABSTRACT: This project describes network migration options for telco access networks incorporating ADSL. Different telcos will have different legacy systems, regulatory and competitive environments, broadband strategies and deployment timescales. Hence it is not feasible to make all encompassing recommendations for network migration options. This project seeks to capture the drivers that may lead a telco to consider a particular migration path. It then presents the various technical options together with the salient features, advantages and disadvantages to assist telcos in forming evolution plans for an access network that will incorporate ADSL. It is hoped that this working text will serve as a useful reference text for both the technical and marketing professionals in the ADSL Forum.

  • Xcel and GDSL System V90 Analog Modem Support
    Technical Note XCel & GDSL System V.90 Rls2 Analog Modem Support 1. Purpose This document describes V.90 analog modem performance and support with GoDigital’s XCel POTS Systems. 2. Overview of V.90 Modems and Modem Operation Standard V.90 or “56K” modems are designed to provide downstream modem speeds greater than V.34 (V.34 defined maximum of 33.6 kbps) over normal POTS lines. Because of network designs and impairment factors, there are millions of subscribers with V.90 modems not attaining high V.90 connections. The requirements for achieving a V.90 subscriber connection are: • A digital connection at one end (the ISP end); • V.90 modem support at both ends; and • Only one analog-to-digital (A-D) conversion in the direction from the source (ISP) to the subscriber Digital pair gain systems add a second analog-to-digital conversion that limit modem connections to V.34 speeds. GoDigital’s new GDSL XCel Systems with V.90 capability is designed to help restore the subscriber’s ability to attain V.90 modem speeds when a second A-D conversion is present. 3. V.90 Modem Speeds The maximum downstream V.90 speed available in North America is approximately 53.3 kbps, based on current FCC restrictions. Any connection greater than 33.6 kbps (V.34) is considered a V.90 connection. It is important to note that the initial connect speed that a modem and server establish can be significantly different from the data throughput that is actually experienced due to bit error rates experienced in the link.
