1.2.2 Curbside Application
You could place the Switch outdoors (in a street cabinet for example) in residential areas that
are too far away from the ISP (Internet Service Provider) to receive DSL services. Residents
only need to be within range of the Switch (not the ISP) to receive high-speed VDSL Internet
access, and have enough bandwidth for data, voice, and video services. In the following
example, the Switch (labeled B) is placed a considerable distance from the ISP and connected
to a backbone switch (labeled C).
