High-speed internet using adsl technology. Fundamentals of aDSL Technology
ADSL(Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is one of the high-speed data transmission technologies known as DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technologies collectively referred to as xDSL. Other DSL technologies include HDSL (High data rate Digital Subscriber Line), VDSL (Very high data rate Digital Subscriber Line) and others.
The common name for DSL technologies originated in 1989, when the idea of using analog-to-digital conversion at the subscriber end of the line was first introduced, which would improve the technology for transmitting data over twisted-pair copper telephone wires. ADSL technology was developed to provide high-speed (one might even say megabit) access to interactive video services (video on demand, video games, etc.) and equally fast data transfer (Internet access, remote access to LANs and other networks).
ADSL Technology - So What Is It?
First of all, ADSL is a technology that transforms a twisted pair of telephone wires into a high-speed data transmission path. ADSL line connects two ADSL modem that are connected to each twisted pair end of the telephone cable (see Figure 1). At the same time, three information channels are organized - the "downstream" data transmission stream, the "upstream" data transmission stream and the POTS channel (see Figure 2). The phone line is filtered using filters to ensure that your phone will work even if the ADSL connection fails.

Picture 2
ADSL is an asymmetric technology - the rate of the “downstream” data stream (that is, the data that is transmitted to the end user) is higher than the rate of the “up” data stream (in turn, transmitted from the user to the network). Immediately, it should be said that one should not look for a cause for concern here. The data transfer rate from the user (the "slower" data transfer direction) is still much higher than when using an analog modem. In fact, it is also significantly higher than ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network).
To compress a large amount of information transmitted over a twisted pair of telephone wires, ADSL technology uses digital signal processing and specially designed algorithms, advanced analog filters and analog-to-digital converters. Long distance telephone lines can attenuate the transmitted high-frequency signal (for example, at 1 MHz, which is the usual transmission rate for ADSL) by up to 90 dB. This forces the analog ADSL modem systems to operate at a high enough load for high dynamic range and low noise. At first glance, the ADSL system is quite simple - high-speed data transmission channels are created over an ordinary telephone cable. But, if you look in detail at the work of ADSL, you can understand that this system belongs to the achievements of modern technology.
ADSL technology uses a technique to divide the bandwidth of a copper telephone line into multiple frequency bands (also called carriers). This allows multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over one line. Exactly the same principle is at the heart of cable television, when each user has a special converter that decodes the signal and allows him to see a football match or an exciting movie on the TV screen. With ADSL, different carriers carry different portions of the transmitted data at the same time. This process is known as Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) (see Figure 3). With FDM, one band is allocated for upstream transmission and another band for downstream data. The downstream range is in turn divided into one or more high-speed channels and one or more low-speed data transmission channels. The upstream range is also divided into one or more low-speed data links. In addition, Echo Cancellation technology can be used, in which the upstream and downstream ranges overlap (see Figure 3) and are separated by local echo cancellation.
Figure 3
This is how ADSL can provide, for example, simultaneous high-speed data transmission, video transmission and fax transmission. And all this without interrupting the regular telephone connection, which uses the same telephone line. The technology provides for the reservation of a certain frequency band for regular telephone communications (or POTS - Plain Old Telephone Service). It's amazing how quickly telephony has become not only Plain, but Old; it turned out to be something like "good old telephone communication". However, one should pay tribute to the developers of new technologies, which nevertheless left a narrow band of frequencies for telephone subscribers for live communication. In this case, a telephone conversation can be conducted simultaneously with high-speed data transmission, and not choose one of the two. Moreover, even if your electricity is cut off, the usual "good old" telephone connection will still work and you will not have any problems calling an electrician. Providing this capability was part of the original ADSL development plan. Even this feature alone gives ADSL a significant advantage over ISDN.
One of the main advantages of ADSL over other high-speed data transmission technologies is the use of the most common twisted-pair copper telephone wires. It is quite obvious that there are much more such pairs of wires (and this is still poorly said) than, for example, cables laid specifically for cable modems. ADSL forms, so to speak, an "overlay network". This eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming switching equipment upgrades (as is necessary for ISDN).
ADSL connection speed
ADSL is a high speed data transmission technology, but how high is it? Considering that the letter “A” in the name of ADSL stands for “asymmetric”, we can conclude that data transfer in one direction is faster than in the other. Therefore, there are two data rates to consider: downstream (transfers data from the network to your computer) and upstream (transfers data from your computer to the network).
The factors affecting the data transfer rate are the state of the subscriber line (i.e. wire diameter, presence of cable branches, etc.) and its length. Signal attenuation in the line increases with increasing line length and increasing signal frequency, and decreases with increasing wire diameter. In fact, the functional limit for ADSL is a subscriber line with a length of 3.5 - 5.5 km with a wire thickness of 0.5 mm. ADSL currently provides downstream data rates ranging from 1.5 Mbps to 8 Mbps and upstream data rates from 640 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps. The general trend in the development of this technology promises an increase in the speed of data transmission in the future, especially in the "downstream" direction.
In order to evaluate the data transfer rate provided by ADSL technology, it is necessary to compare it with the speed that may be available to users using other technologies. Analog modems allow data transfer rates from 14.4 to 56 Kbps. ISDN provides a data transfer rate of 64 Kbps per channel (usually the user has access to two channels, which is 128 Kbps in total). Various DSL technologies enable the user to transfer data at 144 kbps (IDSL), 1.544 and 2.048 Mbps (HDSL), 1.5-8 Mbps downstream and 640-1500 kbps upstream. s (ADSL), 13 - 52 Mbps downstream and 1.5 - 2.3 Mbps upstream (VDSL). Cable modems have a data transfer rate from 500 Kbps to 10 Mbps (it should be borne in mind that the bandwidth of cable modems is divided among all users who have access to this line at the same time, so the number of concurrent users has a significant impact on the actual speed data transmission of each of them). Digital lines E1 and E3 have a data transfer rate of 2.048 Mbit / s and 34 Mbit / s, respectively.
When using ADSL technology, the bandwidth of the line through which the end user is connected to the backbone network, belongs to this user always and entirely. Do you need an ADSL line? It's up to you, but in order for you to make the right decision, let's look at some of the benefits of ADSL.
First of all, the data transfer rate. The numbers have been quoted in two paragraphs above. Moreover, these figures are not the limit. The new ADSL 2 standard implements 10 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream speeds with a range of up to 3 km, while the ADSL 2+ technology, the standard of which is due to be approved in 2003, features downstream speeds. streams in 20, 30 and 40 Mbit / s (respectively for 2,3 and 4 pairs).
Internet via ADSL
To connect to Internet via ADSL, no need to dial a phone number. ADSL creates a broadband data link using an existing telephone line. After installing ADSL modems, you get a permanently established connection. High-speed data link is always ready to work - whenever you need it.
The bandwidth of the line belongs to the user entirely. Unlike cable modems, which allow bandwidth sharing among all users (which greatly affects the data transfer rate), ADSL technology allows only one user to use the line.
ADSL technology allows full use of line resources. In ordinary telephone communication, about one hundredth of the capacity of the telephone line is used. ADSL technology eliminates this "disadvantage" and uses the remaining 99% for high-speed data transmission. In this case, different frequency bands are used for different functions. For telephone (voice) communications, the lowest frequency region of the entire line bandwidth (up to approximately 4 kHz) is used, while the rest of the bandwidth is used for high-speed data transmission.
The versatility of this system is not the last argument in its favor. Since different frequency channels of the subscriber line bandwidth are allocated for the operation of various functions, ADSL allows you to simultaneously transmit data and talk on the phone. You can make phone calls and answer calls, send and receive faxes while simultaneously being on the Internet or receiving data from a corporate LAN. All this on the same telephone line.
ADSL opens up completely new possibilities in those areas in which high-quality video signals are required to be transmitted in real time. These include, for example, video conferencing, distance learning and video on demand. ADSL technology allows providers to provide their users with services, the data transfer rate of which is more than 100 times higher than the speed of the currently fastest analogue modem (56 Kbps) and more than 70 times higher than the data transfer rate in ISDN (128 Kbps ).
ADSL technology allows telecommunications companies to provide a private, secure channel for the exchange of information between the user and the provider.
Internet connection via ADSL
Don't forget about costs. The technology of connecting to the Internet via ADSL is effective from an economic point of view, if only because it does not require the laying of special cables, but uses already existing two-wire copper telephone lines. That is, if you have a connected telephone at home or in your office, you do not need to lay additional wires to use ADSL. (Although there is a fly in the ointment. The company that provides you with regular telephone service must also provide ADSL service.)
Not much equipment is needed for an ADSL line to work. ADSL modems are installed at both ends of the line: one on the user side (at home or in the office), and the other on the network side (at an Internet provider or telephone exchange). Moreover, the user does not have to buy his own modem, but it is enough to rent it from the provider. In addition, the user must have a computer and an interface card such as Ethernet 10baseT for the ADSL modem to work.
ADSL continues to play an important role as telephone companies gradually enter the still untapped field of transferring video and multimedia data to the end user. Of course, cable broadband will reach all potential users over time. But the success of these new systems will depend on how many users are involved in using new technologies now. By bringing motion pictures and television, video catalogs and the Internet to homes and offices, ADSL is making this market viable and profitable for both telephone companies and other service providers in various fields.
ADSL from English stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. There are several types of DSL connections: ADSL, HDSL, and VDSL. At the heart of all three options there is a telephone line.
What is ADSL
DSL technology was developed at a time when the telephone line became popular and appeared with every citizen of the country. In the late 80s - early 90s, the first version of the ADSL protocol appeared. She supported incoming traffic speed up to 1 Mbit / s, and outgoing - up to 8 Mbit / s.
ADSL originated from Bellcore, which in the mid-eighties was looking for methods to create interactive TV. Further, the technology was adopted by the providers of access to the "world wide web". Thus, the first devices that transmit and receive signals appeared - ADSL modems.
An asymmetrical line today used in remote settlements where it is impossible to use other wired technology or wireless communication via 3 / 4G USB modems
ADSL technology - how it works
The first word in the name - asymmetric - implies that it is used uneven distribution telephone line between sending and receiving data.
In this case, the incoming traffic has a higher bandwidth than the outgoing one. Earlier we mentioned approximate figures - the difference in speed can reach eight times.
The use of a telephone line as a means of data transmission implies that ADSL uses another frequency in cables. This fact allows you to use the phone and the Internet at the same time without interfering with each other.
Sometimes situations arise in which the use of a telephone wire for two directions leads to certain hindrances, but such cases are rare and are associated with improper cable shielding.
The signal comes from the provider and comes to the end user on special equipment - a modem. It translates the incoming data stream into a digital value.
Equipment used
As with any technology, ADSL also uses special equipment and components. Let's consider in more detail using the example of the diagram below.
The signal coming from the telephone socket initially goes to a special device - splitter... He splits it into telephone and high-frequency... The first goes directly to the communication device, and the second goes to the translator. In turn, the network device converts the received analog stream into a digital one. After this operation, the data can be processed by the operating system of the end user's device: for example, a workstation or tablet.
ADSL modem
The network device is the entry point for the analog data stream. He can convert signal in both directions at the same time, which allows the use of bandwidth more efficiently.
Pure ADSL modems are almost not produced anymore, since there is more modern network equipment - routers. They will be discussed below.
ADSL cable
The cable is a wire with an RJ-12 connector. It is used to connect a telephone line to a modem.
Contains four veins, through which the analog signal is transmitted to the input and output.
Routers
Improved version of the modem. It is equipment capable of not only receive and transmit signal to the end user, but also route traffic within the local network.
Using an ADSL router, a user can connect multiple devices to gain access to the World Wide Web.
Today, most ADSL routers have a built-in WiFi module, which allows mobile devices to connect to the Internet.
Splitters and microfilters
To separate the signal coming over the telephone line for the modem and the telephone, a special filter is used - a splitter.
The principle of operation is as follows. One incoming signal - several outgoing ones. The simplest example of a splitter is shown in the screenshot above. It can split into a maximum of 16 signals.
Microfilters are needed to create two parallel signals. This allows you to use ADSL internet and phone at the same time, without interfering with the line.
Other equipment
There are other devices used to create a connection to the World Wide Web based on ADSL technology.
For example, a user only has an ADSL modem, but wants to use a wireless connection at home. He will have to purchase additionally router withWi— Fimodule... It connects through the Ethernet port to the modem.
The second common option. There is an office space where access to the global network is organized by means of ADSL technology. To provide the Internet in each room, you need to purchase switches and router... The first ones are installed in each office separately, and the router will carry out the correct routing of data within the local network.
The main stages of connection
The first thing to do is to connect the telephone cable that goes into the room through the splitter. Further from connector Phone we bring the wire to the phone, and from ADSL- to network equipment.
The next step is to connect the ADSL device to the power supply network and connect it to the workstation via an Ethernet cable.
At the last stage, the user spends setting up network equipment according to the instructions provided by the provider.
Maximum ADSL Speed
The data transfer rate when using ADSL depends on the standard used by the provider. The last option is ADSL2 ++. The data can be summarized in one table.
The information presented above is theoretical, i.e. the specified values are achieved under ideal conditions... In fact, 13-15% of the speed is lost when the signal passes from the provider to the endpoint. This fact is due to the technical characteristics of the equipment used.
Also, do not forget about other subscribers. The signal comes from a single point of exit from the service provider. Many other clients are connected to it, respectively, the total speed value begins to be divided into equal parts.
Advantages and disadvantages of technology
Advantages of using ADSL technology:
- Subscribers receive high frequency access service to the "world wide web" without laying additional cables in the room.
- Organize a global network can be done almost anywhere where there is a connected telephone line.
- The initial financial expenses on the connection below some of the other methods.
- High download speed files for the end client.
- Using modern network equipment, the client can organize a wireless network.
Flaws:
- Exists more modern solutions Internet connections that provide fast download speeds.
- Technology gives most of the channel on incoming traffic, and outgoing is several times lower. Accordingly, sending larger files to another subscriber will take a long time.
- Signal quality and stability depends on the telephone line which is not designed for high frequency signals.

What is ADSL?
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is a technology that allows realizing high-speed data transmission over a telephone line (ordinary copper telephone wire).
At the same time, there are significant differences from voice-frequency telephone modems - transmission is organized at a higher frequency than that of an analog telephone signal. Result: you have threads independent of each other and can conduct conversations while simultaneously being online. ADSL is currently capable of providing upstream data rates up to 24 Mbps and outgoing data rates up to 1 Mbps, but this is under ideal conditions, a short distance from the station and underground cable laying, etc. For the most part, the connection speed depends on the technical capabilities of the provider and on average reaches 6-8 Mbit / s.
In the case of ADSL, you simply connect to a telephone socket through a special device that separates frequencies — this is a splitter, a modem and a telephone are connected to it, and the device receives output directly to your telephone line.
Which modem should I choose?
Currently, ADSL modems with Ethernet and USB connection interfaces are available, and a wireless device with Wi-Fi interface. The choice depends on your needs - the difference here is in the features of the connection and in the possibilities provided: modems that connect as network devices offer more of them than their USB counterparts. For example, in order to connect one computer to the Network, a simple model will be enough, and if there are two or more of them, then you need to pay attention to devices with a router function - the modem will in any case have an Ethernet or Wi-Fi interface.
You can find options from Ethernet models with and without a built-in switch (in this case, you will need to use an additional switch when connecting multiple computers). If you need increased security, you can look at models with Firewall functions, anti-virus scanning, the ability to work with a virtual private network and other "usefulness".
In the case of using on the same line, in addition to telephony and Internet DSL, signaling is also required, then you will need a modem that supports the ANNEX B operating mode, it can be either a separate modem model or built-in switching capability (ANNEX A - ANNEX B).
How to connect?
An important detail: if there are parallel-connected telephones in the apartment, and you cannot connect them through a splitter (they are located in other rooms), then each incoming call will cause a lot of headache, which is associated with constant disconnections. To avoid this, it is necessary for each of the devices to buy an additional device, a microfilter, and connect them through it. One side of the splitter has two inputs (Phone and DSL), a telephone cord from a modem is connected to the DSL input, and a telephone set to Phone. The splitter is a frequency splitter, or, as it is easier to say - it allows you to surf the Internet and communicate on the phone without any interference.
Now we need to turn on the modem itself and look at it. The lights should come on and blink. The main indicator is the DSL light, which should be on without blinking after the modem is restarted. If the light is on correctly, you can connect the modem to a laptop or computer using an Ethernet RJ45 network cable. It so happens that the light blinks quickly or just does not light up. You can solve the problem by checking the quality of the cable connections and wiring diagram or by calling the provider. Go ahead. The lights are on as needed. When you turn on the computer, connect the modem to the output of the network card, which is slightly wider than the telephone one.
When creating a new internet connection, you just need to set up your modem.
Depending on the configuration of your local network, the modem can be configured in the so-called bridge mode.
Choosing an ADSL modem and setting it up is a very simple task if an agreement was concluded with a provider from which you received a username and password, as well as a notification that the line was connected to the Internet.
