Introduction
DSL FlavorsDSL is often called xDSL
since there are many varieties (different x)
e.g. ADSL, HDSL, SHDSL, VDSL, IDSL, etc.
There were once many unconnected typesbut now we divide them into three main families
The differentiation is by means of the application scenario
• HDSL (high bit rate, mainly business, data + telephony)
• ADSL (asymmetric, mainly residential, Internet access)
• VDSL (very high rate, but short distance)
More xDSL flavors
modem speed reach main applications
IDSL 160 (144) Kbps 5.5 km POTS replacement, videoconferencing, Internet access
HDSL 2 Mbps (4-6W) 3.6-4.5 km T1/E1 replacement PBX interconnect, FR
HDSL2 2 Mbps (2W) 3 km same as HDSL
SHDSL 2.3 Mbps 3 km same as HDSL

History of wireless communication
• Guglielmo Marconi invented the wireless telegraph in 1896• Communication by encoding alphanumeric characters in analog
signal• Sent telegraphic signals across the Atlantic Ocean
• 1914 – first voice communication over radio waves• Communications satellites launched in 1960s• Advances in wireless technology
• Radio, television, mobile telephone, communication satellites
• More recently• Satellite communications, wireless networking, cellular technology
What is Wireless Communication ?
• Transmitting voice and data using electromagnetic waves in open space (atmosphere)
• Electromagnetic waves • Travel at speed of light (c = 3x108 m/s)
• Has a frequency (f) and wavelength ()• c = f x
• Higher frequency means higher energy photons
• The higher the energy photon the more penetrating is the radiation
Wavelength of Some Technologies
• GSM Phones: • frequency ~= 900 Mhz
• wavelength ~= 33cm
• PCS Phones• frequency ~= 1.8 Ghz
• wavelength ~= 17.5 cm
• Bluetooth: • frequency ~= 2.4Gz
• wavelength ~= 12.5cm
Types of electromagnetic carriers
• when the distance between the sender and receiver is short (e.g. TV box and a remote control) infrared waves are used
• for long range distances between sender and receiver (e.g. TV broadcasting and cellular service) both microwaves and radio waves are used• radio waves are ideal when large areas need to be coverd and
obstacles exist in the transmission path
• microwaves are good when large areas need to be coverd and no obstacles exist in the transmission path
Advantages and disadvantages of wireless communication
• advantages:• mobility
• a wireless communication network is a solution in areas where cables are impossible to install (e.g. hazardous areas, long distances etc.)
• easier to maintain
• disadvantages:• has security vulnerabilities
• high costs for setting the infrastructure
• unlike wired comm., wireless comm. is influenced by physical obstructions, climatic conditions, interference from other wireless devices
Frequency Carries/Channels
• The information from sender to receiver is carrier over a well defined frequency band.
• This is called a channel
• Each channel has a fixed frequency bandwidth (in KHz) and Capacity (bit-rate)
• Different frequency bands (channels) can be used to transmit information in parallel and independently.

Wireless Technologies
• Unlicensed Frequency Spectrum• Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM)
• 915 MHz• 2.45 GHz• 5.8 GHz
• Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi)• Based on IEEE 802.11 standards• Refers to 802.11-compatible products certified as
interoperable by the Wi-Fi Alliance• Covers office and home based LANs as well as hotspots

Wireless Technologies (cont.)
• Unlicensed Frequency Spectrum• Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-
NII)• U-NII devices do not require licensing• Designated to provide short-range, high-speed wireless
networking communication at low cost• Three frequency bands (100 MHz each) were set aside by the
FCC in 1997• Objective was to help schools connect to the Internet without
the need for hard wiring
