Note to Editors:
ADSL (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) is a higher-speed alternative to Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and analogue modems, utilising the copper wiring that already connects each home. Besides higher bandwidth, ADSL has another advantage for consumers: a single twisted pair can carry both voice calls (using existing analogue lines) and high-speed digital data.
SDSL (Synchronous Digital Subscriber Line) is a symmetric service available at speeds from 192 kbit/s up to 2.3 Mbit/s for ETSI markets. SDSL offers high quality of service, LAN-line speeds. Moreover the service can be set at different rates and thus different prices. This is suited to business end users who are concerned about service quality and reliability. SDSL is particularly useful for large file transfers, video conferencing, distance learning, and Internet access
Highly scalable and flexible, the Nokia D50 DSLAM offers multiple modular remote solutions that support both large and small-scale subscribers. For ETSI markets, Nokia delivers the Nokia D50e, while for US markets Nokia supplies the Nokia D50 Speedlink.
