M/HDSL Overview

Multirate High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (M/HDSL) products
maximize customer service areas by varying the DSL line rate. This ensures
symmetric DSL connectivity over a wide range of telephone line distances and
transmission line qualities.
Hotwire products can transport at full (2.048 Mbps) or fractional payload rates
over a 4-wire, full-duplex circuit over varying distances based on the conditions of
the 4-wire loop. Examples include support for router, multiplexer and PBX
connections on 24 gauge (.5 mm) cable up to 21,000 feet (6.4 km).
Hotwire M/HDSL is equipped with an automatic configuration capability that
reduces the M/HDSL installation process to a simple plug and play mode. Simply
connecting the units to the line automatically configures the customer for the
maximum data rate supported by the local loop. M/HDSL units can also be
configured at fixed line speeds to achieve maximum distances.
