Stands for "Digital Subscriber Line." DSL is a communications medium used to transfer digital signals over standard telephone lines. Along with cable Internet, DSL is one of the most popular ways ISPs provide broadband Internet access.
When you make a telephone call using a landline, the voice signal is transmitted using low frequencies from 0 Hz to 4 kHz. This range, called the "voiceband," only uses a small part of the frequency range supported by copper phone lines. Therefore, DSL makes use of the higher frequencies to transmit digital signals, in the range of 25 kHz to 1.5 MHz. While these frequencies are higher than the highest audible frequency (20 kHz), then can still cause interference during phone conversations. Therefore, DSL filters or splitters are used to make

a wealth of new ideas and applications.
Alcatel DSL offers the biggest increase in
bandwidth to date. The potential of new
applications is tremendous and many
are yet to be imagined.
Alcatel provides the infrastructure to
deliver these new services by offering a
wide range of DSL products from DSLAMs
and DLCs to broadband aggregation
and customer premises equipment (CPE).
With Alcatel’s end-to-end DSL solution,
DSL connectivity has never been so easy —

4. 2 ALCATEL
Alcatel is the leading worldwide supplier
of DSL technology with extensive
experience in helping service providers
succeed in an increasingly competitive
environment. This experience was
drawn upon to create the 7300 ASAM,
the successor to the industry leading
Alcatel 1000 ASAM Subscriber Access
Multiplexer (ASAM). The 7300 ASAM
is designed with the advanced function-
ality that service providers need to
maximize their portion of the broadband
access market.
The unprecedented growth in DSL has
largely been driven by the demand for
high speed Internet access. However,
high speed Internet service alone will not
adequately differentiate service providers
to attract and retain new customers. To
effectively compete, service providers
need a broadband platform that enables
them to offer a range of compelling
services to their diverse base of business
and residential customers. The 7300
ASAM has the advanced functionality
that service providers need to deploy
additional revenue-generating services like
toll-quality voice over DSL, video services,
and VPNs.
What is DSL?
Digital subscriber line (DSL) technology
is a copper loop transmission technology
that solves the bottleneck problem often
associated with delivering network
services over the last mile to consumers.
DSL technology achieves broadband
speeds over the most universal network
medium in the world — ordinary
telephone wires.
DSL is fast.
Once users experience DSL speeds,
they do not want to go back to dialup
access. It’s that simple.
The ability, then, for service providers
to deliver high bandwidth expands their
revenue opportunities dramatically.
DSL technology allows
for an “always-on” service.
Unlike a dialup connection, there is no
logging on and off or waiting for a dial
tone. With DSL, the connection is always
there, ready for you to use. And DSL
doesn’t tie up your phone line.
DSL bandwidth is dedicated.
With DSL you’re always connected
and, unlike with cable access, there’s no
danger that your connection speed will
get watered down as more users log on.
Because it is delivered over existing
infrastructure, a DSL buildout only requires
limited, incremental investments that can
be strategically deployed. Alcatel employs
a scalable, high density, integrated
multiservice access platform to provide
a true end-to-end solution.
DSL is reliable and secure.
Because DSL provides a dedicated
connection over your existing telephone
line, it has none of the security risks
associated with shared bandwidth
solutions like cable.
Whether it’s ADSL, SHDSL or any other
flavor, DSL is easy to implement and
coordinate. With carrier class service
management features, DSL delivers
the power of the core to the edge and
beyond. Customers that require fast
revenue generation, and yet still want
to build a foundation for future growth,
can be assured that DSL from Alcatel
is the answer.
5. ALCATEL 3
Alcatel offers a cost-effective, flexible
architecture that easily scales to meet the
demands of a mass market DSL services
rollout. Alcatel takes an end-to-end systems
approach to DSL, with proven solutions.
Alcatel’s DSL solutions allow for the intro-
duction of new network services with a
competitive edge — exactly what service
providers are looking to offer.
Delivering a variety of services …
The 7300 ASAM supports multiple
standards-based types of DSL, including
ADSL (full rate and G.Lite) and G.shdsl,
giving the service provider the ability
to deliver the right service to a diverse
potential customer base. Residential
and small business customers want a
DSL service that can run on top of their
existing plain old telephone service
(POTS) or ISDN service.
Not only does the 7300 ASAM offer
multiple service classes, it also supports
multi-QoS per line, allowing for the
simultaneous delivery of delay sensitive
and delay tolerant data on a single DSL
line. This feature allows service providers
to offer each customer multiple services
with the appropriate delivery guarantees.
The 7300 ASAM is built around an ATM
architecture that supports a variety of ATM
service classes including constant bit rate
(CBR), undefined bit rate (UBR and UBR+),
variable bit rate (VBR), and guaranteed
frame rate (GFR). This allows service
providers exceptional flexibility in service
offerings that can range from low-cost,
low-priority residential services to premium
business access with large bandwidth
requirements, such as LAN-to-LAN, VPN,
streaming video, and audio — all with
guaranteed performance.
ADSL
Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) is the most
common form of DSL. Most of the ADSL
bandwidth is devoted to the downstream
direction, sending data to the user.
ADSL generates downstream speeds
of up to 8 Mb/s and upstream speeds
of up to 800 kb/s.
With the accelerated growth in the
deployment of DSL, standardization
and spectral compatibility are becoming
increasingly important. Alcatel develops
standards-based DSL products to help
eliminate spectrum interference in loop
bundles and guarantees the best possible
performance and improved interoperability.
The 7300 ASAM supports splitterless
full rate ADSL and G.Lite to hold down
deployment costs and to make consumer
installation “plug and play”. The multimode
ADSL line card supports all ADSL standards
and can automatically detect the standard
being used by the end user’s modem.
This broad standards support allows
the 7300 ASAM to operate with a wide
range of industry standard CPE from a
variety of vendors.
ADSL for ISDN and POTS
Alcatel’s ADSL solutions for ISDN and
POTS offer providers mature ADSL
equipment fully compliant with existing
standards. Using Alcatel’s fourth generation
DynaMiTE ADSL chipset, Alcatel offers
a high performance solution suitable for
mass market DSL deployment. Alcatel’s
solution combines the density, low power
consumption, and network management
capabilities providers need with the ability
to incrementally upgrade their systems while
maintaining their existing installed base.
The Alcatel DSL Solution
Alcatel’s DSL solution is ideal for both business and residential users. Because DSL uses the existing
telephone wires that already connect millions of residential and business consumers, a DSL buildout
only requires small, incremental investments that can be strategically deployed. This greatly reduces
the risk associated with large capital outlays.
6. 4 ALCATEL
Alcatel’s ADSL solutions for ISDN and
POTS have advantages for both providers
and their customers. Customers can keep
their existing ISDN or POTS infrastructures,
while expanding their IT infrastructure
with an additional broadband service.
For small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs),
Alcatel’s ADSL solutions for ISDN and
POTS will generate added value and
decrease communication costs. For
providers, ADSL for ISDN and POTS
extends their ADSL service coverage
by allowing them to offer the same
DSL services to both POTS and ISDN
customers.
Symmetrical DSL
G.shdsl, a symmetrical technology,
provides a way to meet the needs of
small and medium-sized businesses.
Symmetric high speed DSL (SHDSL) can
be an alternative to the traditional (and
expensive) E1 service, especially with
applications that require high upstream
bandwidths like video conferencing
and WAN networking. With supported
symmetrical data rates of up to 1.5 Mb/s
and 2.3 Mb/s respectively, G.shdsl offers
all the bandwidth of the legacy services
and more. G.shdsl is the emerging ETSI
and ITU-T standard for single pair high
bit rate DSL (HDSL). This standard will
complement the ANSI HDSL-2 standard,
providing for other services beyond fixed
rate T1 or E1 provisioning.
Based on the ITU-T G.shdsl standard,
Alcatel G.shdsl provides a spectrum-
friendly symmetrical service. When used
with ADSL lines in the same loop bundle,
there is no performance interference
for either service.
G.Lite
G.Lite (also known as DSL-Lite and
splitterless ADSL) is similar to ADSL,
offering lower speeds without the need
for POTS splitters at the customer premises.
The benefits of simple installation and a
lower cost of implementation are consid-
ered to offset the potential drawback
of reduced speed, which is limited to
1.5 Mb/s downstream and 384 kb/s
upstream.
VDSL
One of the hottest areas of DSL devel-
opment is very high speed DSL (VDSL).
VDSL holds the promise of increased data
rates over relatively short distances. Trials
have produced speeds between 51 and
55 Mb/s using lines of up to 300 meters
(1,000 feet). More bandwidth will result
in the delivery of a new wave of services,
including interactive TV, video on demand,
and high definition TV.
Voice over DSL
Around the world, service providers are
clamoring for voice over DSL (VoDSL)
technology. It offers new revenue opportu-
nities beyond high speed Internet access
and can be deployed easily and cost-
effectively using the existing DSL
infrastructure.
Multiple voice and data channels are
prioritized, multiplexed, and transported
over a DSL connection to a gateway
interface, which provides connectivity
between the data network and the public
switched telephone network (PSTN).
Features such as multi-QoS allow the
7300 ASAM to deliver toll-quality VoDSL
and Internet access on the same DSL
line and ensure that the voice traffic
receives priority.
The 7300 ASAM offers both an integrated
and a standalone VoDSL solution.
Alcatel 7300 ASAM
7. ALCATEL 5
Integrated Voice: Achieving
maximum interoperability
The integrated VoDSL solution consists
of a gateway card inserted in the 7300
ASAM shelf. The VoDSL signal is then
transmitted via V5.2 to the PSTN.
The 7300 ASAM with integrated VoDSL
allows operators to offer bundled multi-line
telephone and high speed data services
over a single DSL line to a variety of
customers, going from high-end residential
customers to small and medium-sized
businesses. It allows operators to leverage
the investments already made in local
exchanges, ATM switches and DSL access
multiplexers (DSLAMs) — without having
to change the end user equipment
already in place.
In a minimum/typical configuration, the
7300 ASAM delivers the capability of
handling eight E1 interfaces, or 240
simultaneous calls to the voice network.
The system can be extended to eight cards
(or 64 E1) 1,920 active calls, allowing
up to 8,000 business phones (1 to 4)
or 20,000 residential phones (1 to 10)
to connect. Embedded digital signal
processors (DSPs) implement the voice
compression technique for optimal
bandwidth usage.
The 7300 ASAM with integrated VoDSL
guarantees true transparent PSTN (analog
voice, digital voice, fax, and modem) and
ISDN services for the end user, offering
high quality voice services and all value-
added local exchange features. In addition,
offering voice services over DSL leverages
the operators’ existing operational support
systems (OSSs) and ways of doing voice
business.
A Standalone Solution:
The best of two worlds
When V5.2 traffic has to be concentrated
on one or a limited number of points in
the network, Alcatel offers a standalone
gateway, the Alcatel 7310 Loop Voice
Gateway (LVG).
The 7310 LVG is at the heart of a con-
verged voice and data world. Together
with an integrated access device (IAD),
the 7310 LVG merges a QoS-based
broadband data access network with
voice networking, allowing for high
revenue-generating services.
The Alcatel VoDSL scalable hardware
architecture allows service providers to
envisage a “pay as you grow” strategy.
A single gateway card handles eight E1
interfaces or 240 simultaneous calls
toward the local exchange. The system
can be extended up to eight cards or
1,920 active calls, allowing connection
for up to 8,000 business phones or
20,000 residential phones.
Both the standalone and the integrated
solution support the ETSI V5.2 PSTN
interface standards.
DSL video services
The 7300 ASAM is ready for video
applications on various end user platforms
(PC and TV). It has been deployed at
various places to provide advanced video-
on-demand services, but can be used as
well for cost-optimized video broadcast
because of the built-in multicasting
functionality. Alcatel has created an
end-to-end standard-based solution for
video services, such as personal video,
e-commerce, broadcast TV, and video
on demand (VoD).

8. 6 ALCATEL
Central office equipment
Alcatel’s central office equipment is
designed with the advanced functionality
you need to maximize your share of
the broadband access market.
The ASAM products are multiservice
access nodes that allow service providers
to support both current services, as well
as new and future IP-based services.
The platforms used to deliver the
dynamic Alcatel DSL solution include:
w Alcatel 7300 ASAM DSL Subscriber
Access Platform (ASAM) and Alcatel
7300 ASAM DSL Remote Access
Platform (RAM), enabling mass
deployment of revenue-generating
broadband services for both business
and residential customers
w Alcatel 7404 Broadband Access
Server (BAS) and the Alcatel 7410
Access Server (AS) provide a scalable
and flexible solution for internetworking
DSLAMs and an Internet backbone
router. Using Ethernet or, MPLS,
these products aggregate subscriber
traffic from multiple DSLAMs and
provide transparency to any DSL
technology type
w Alcatel 7670 Routing Switch
Platform (RSP) providing a multi-
protocol platform designed for the
core of next generation networks
Best performance
Alcatel DSL line cards consistently
have the industry’s best rate and reach
performance on POTS and ISDN lines,
as proven in extensive customer field
tests. The new generation ADSL line
card utilizes Alcatel’s leading discrete
multi-tone (DMT)-based technology and
supports multi-mode ADSL, allowing it
to automatically work with full rate or
G.Lite CPE. Splitterless functionality is
supported in both full rate and G.Lite
technologies so there is no need for a
centralized splitter or requisite truck roll.
The line cards also support dynamic bit
rate updates, ensuring the consumer
the highest performance available. Their
flexible design allows enhancements and
functional changes to be implemented
through software upgrades.
Multi-level redundancy
Avoiding single points of failure is a
major requirement of high volume service
enabling products like the 7300 ASAM.
The 7300 ASAM’s architecture fulfills
this requirement by delivering multi-level
redundancy, allowing service providers
to deliver the performance that their
customers demand. The ATM network
termination for each system can be
equipped in a 1+1 redundant configu-
ration, guaranteeing instant switchover
in case of failure. The internal ATM system
fabric, central processor, and memory can
also be duplicated to assure permanent
service availability and enable SLAs.
… On High Quality Equipment
Having shipped more than 10 million ADSL lines, and owning more than 50 percent of
the worldwide market share, there is no doubt that Alcatel is the world leader in DSL solutions.
We got that way by getting to the market quickly with the best products and solutions.
9. ALCATEL 7
Lowest power consumption
Power consumption is an important
consideration when selecting equipment,
as it will inevitably dictate the quantity
that can be deployed in a central office.
Additionally, power consumption and
related items like cabling, battery backup,
and cooling represent a significant share
of the overall capital and operational
costs of a telecom infrastructure. Even
though the ADSL line density of the 7300
ASAM has increased significantly, power
consumption per line has been reduced by
50 percent. At an average of 1.6 watts
per ADSL line, the 7300 ASAM delivers
the lowest power consumption in the
industry. This is good news for providers
who are faced with power consumption
limitations.
This decreased power consumption
allows providers to increase the number
of switches in the CO, while using less
power. This results in reduced costs
and an improved bottom line.

Unprecedented scalability
In a fast growing mass market like DSL,
the first provider to the customer wins.
The 7300 ASAM delivers maximum
scalability for small to large system
deployments that allow service providers
to reach more of their potential DSL
customers, whether they are served by
a CO or by remote facilities. The operator
can quickly achieve ubiquitous geographic
coverage with small systems and subse-
quently extend the capacity of these
systems at the pace of growing customer
demand.
The system is temperature hardened so
that it can be reliably deployed in extreme
temperature environments or in office
buildings. These capabilities, along with
the multiple DSL types, mean that service
providers can service more customers and
have more flexibility to meet their demands.
SVC and PVC support
The 7300 ASAM supports permanent
virtual circuit (PVC) connections
provisioned by the network operator,
and switched virtual circuit (SVC)
connections set up and managed by
the user application when needed.
Advantages include greater user flexibility
in accessing multiple applications offered
by various content providers, while
network operators gain traffic capacity
and simplified provisioning.
w A 7300 ASAM family can
contain as few as 12 DSL
lines (evolving to 24/48
ports) or as many as 2,304
lines, sharing a common
network interface. This
number can go up to 5,000
by subtending shelves.
w Remote access multiplexers
(RAMs and Mini-RAMs) can
be subtended off a 7300
ASAM to extend the reach
of DSL to remote customers
and to increase the number
of customers served by a
single network interface.
Outdoor solutions are
available.
w A broad range of network
interfaces are available,
including 4 x E1 IMA,
E3, and STM-1.
w Temperature hardened,
enabling deployment of
equipment in environments
with temperature extremes.
w Small footprint for
deployment in space-
constrained environments.
w Support for SVCs and PVCs.

Service providers can mix the 7300
ASAM shelves with legacy shelves (such
as the Alcatel 1000 ASAM) to create a
single system that delivers enhanced
functionality while preserving their past
investment. Beyond hardware intercon-
nectivity and software consistency, the
systems also share a single management
system simplifying the integration of
the new ASAM into their network.
Broadband aggregation
Alcatel’s Broadband Aggregation
Solution can aggregate DSL connections
from multiple DSLAMs, allowing the
access providers to rapidly scale new
services. Part of this solution is the Alcatel
7404 BAS, a tunnel created for each
connection from the DSLAM to the ISP
network. Without the 7404 BAS, there
is excessive overhead on the ATM
switches because they have to set up
and take down each circuit as the
connections are made and dropped.
The 7404 BAS solves this problem.
Carrier class solutions must support tens
of thousands of PVCs. Yet, the typical
backbone routers that have linked points
of presence to ISPs can only handle up
to 256 PVCs.
The Alcatel 7404 BAS, the Alcatel
7410 AS, and the Alcatel 5735 Service
Management Center (SMC) are part of a
complete broadband access solution that
efficiently handles aggregate connections.
The World’s Most
Widely Deployed System
Alcatel has the largest installed base of DSLAMs and DLCs in the world. With so many in use,
Alcatel designed the 7300 ASAM to be seamlessly integrated with these systems.
12. 10 ALCATEL
The management platform used to deliver
the flexible Alcatel DSL solution includes:
w Alcatel 5620 Network Manager (NM),
providing seamless, end-to-end network
management for Alcatel DSL solutions.
w Alcatel 5740 Service Subscription
Manager (SSM), addressing the require-
ment for a scalable and efficient DSL
service model.
w Alcatel 5730 VPN Service manager
(VSM), allowing service providers to
offer multi-service VPNs to business
customers.
w Alcatel 5520 SNMP Element Manager
(SNMP EM), providing local element
management of Alcatel nodes on an
individual basis, remote element manage-
ment of third party nodes on a network-
wide basis, and management of access
products for non-network nodal devices.
w Alcatel 5523 NG-AWS Element
Manager (NG-AWS), providing
centralized network management
to the distributed ADSL components
(ASAM, Mini-RAM and ADSL CPE).
This management system supports
full configuration, performance and
fault management, and thus provides
excellent supervision of the various
network elements.
The 5620 NM plays a key role
in managing the ASAM network
infrastructure through instant detection
of service degradation and permanent
collection of relevant performance data.
It provides all the necessary functions for
doing an end-to-end management of your
network. The 5620 NM is fully integrated
with other products in the management
family and is open for integration with
peer network management systems,
as well as best-of-breed, complementary
third party application products.
Flowthrough provisioning
To capture market share and maintain
customer satisfaction, service providers
must deliver timely, error-free provisioning.
The 5740 SSM enables smooth DSL
service integration in the overall
provisioning process.
Service providers with an OSS in place
may want to extend it with DSL-specific
functions. The Alcatel broadband access
solution provides you with end-to-end
provisioning, depending on your needs.
Interoperability
Alcatel is fully committed to network-wide
interoperability and is actively involved
in standardization and interoperability
initiatives. Alcatel frequently participates
in plugfests (live demonstrations of plug
and play product interoperability) and
interoperability testing via internal and
third-party labs. This strategy enables
compatibility with a wide range of CPE
and helps to ensure the continued
successful deployment for service
providers and consumers.
… Under Advanced
Network Supervision
Alcatel’s integrated network management system manages networks end to end using
a single network management umbrella. With a system able to manage one million endpoints
and up to 5,000 nodes in a single domain, we are the clear leader in network management.

provide faster connections to the core
network and give service providers
direct access to local content.
w New DSL line cards, including VDSL,
can utilize this capacity to deliver
bandwidth in excess of 50 Mb/s
to each customer.
w Each DSL line supports multi-QoS so
service providers can simultaneously
deliver delay tolerant and delay
sensitive content, such as voice and
video, to the same customer.
w The 7300 ASAM will evolve to have
multiple high capacity video feeder
interfaces allowing for hundreds of
video channels. Based on these video
feeder interfaces and optimized
broadcast solutions, end users will be
offered a choice of broadcast and on-
demand services, with more flexibility
than any other competing technology
like cable and satellite.
w Designed to enable the full digital

… Designed for the Future
Access is the biggest problem facing the Internet today. The growing demand for access has produced
bottlenecks and traffic jams, which are slowing the Internet down. ADSL high speed Internet breaks
through the bottlenecks to ensure that all customers have quick and reliable access to Internet content.
14. 12 ALCATEL
As the telephony and data worlds merge,
it is vital to preserve the carrier class
standard that our customers expect.
Alcatel is a pioneer of carrier class DSL
technology and has designed and
manufactured state-of-the-art chips since
1993, and DSL systems for almost as
long. Unlike most vendors, Alcatel’s
experience extends beyond the integration
of technology into a system, and includes
the creation of the technology itself. This
depth of experience has allowed Alcatel
to successfully deploy more DSL systems
than any other vendor in the world and
has facilitated the creation of the all-new
7300 ASAM.
Alcatel’s commitment to help service
providers successfully deploy DSL has
