Broadband Internet

Broadband is an advanced internet technology that provides high-speed two-way data, voice, and video communication simultaneously using wide frequency bands. Broadband technologies include DSL, cable modem, satellite internet, and fixed wireless. DSL uses existing telephone lines to connect to the internet at speeds up to 50 times faster than dial-up, using modulation schemes. DSL is further divided into technologies like ADSL, SDSL, IDSL, VDSL, and HDSL that provide varying speeds over different distances using phone lines.

Broadband Internet

Broadband is an advanced telecommunication technology that provides the internet connectivity


at very high speed. In the broadband connection, the wide bands of frequencies are available to
provide the two way data, voice and video communication simultaneously.   The broadband
technologies include DSL, cable modem, satellite internet and fixed wireless.   DSL provides the
data transmission from 128Kbps up to 9Mbps.

Due to it’s high speed internet connectivity and other capabilities the DSL service has replaced
the Dial up connections rapidly.  Today, hospitals, universities, corporate organizations, banks
and even home users prefer to use DSL over the dial up connections.  Broadband internet
technologies are operated by using the different mediums and technologies. There are following
three major types of the broadband connectivity.

 DSL
DSL stands for the Digital Subscribers lines.  DSL is a broadband internet connectivity
technology that uses the existing telephone lines to connect to the internet.  DSL provides the 50
times faster speed than the standard dial up modems.  DSL technologies use modulation schemes
to pack the data onto the existing copper telephone lines. The most commonly used DSL
technology is ADSL.  Typical DSL connections allows user to send data at 1.5 Mbps and receive
data at 256 Kbps.  DSL service remains on all the time and user don’t need to dial the internet
connection.  DSL is a group of technologies that is further divided into the following categories.

1. SDSL

Symmetric Digital Subscribers Lines and it is being used as a replacement for the dedicated T1
lines.  SDSL uses two standard phone lines for the data transmission of 1.5Mbps.

2. IDSL

IDSL stands for the ISDN Digital Subscribers lines that can work and coexist with the current
analog ISDN connections.  ISDL is limited to the 144Kbps.

3. ADSL

Asymmetric Digital Subscribers Lines uses two different transmission speeds i.e. the
downstream speed and the upstream speed.  It can provide the downstream data rates up to
8Mbps and the upstream data rates at 1 Mbps.

4. VDSL

VDSL stands for the Very High Speed Digital Subscribers Lines, which provides the higher
speed than the ADSL over the shorter distances.
5. HDSL

HDSL stands for the High Data Rate Digital Subscribe Line and it uses the two standard phone
lines for the data transmission.  It can combine the three phone lines to offer much high speed.

 Cable Modem
A cable modem is a device that provides high speed internet connectivity over the copper wire. 
Cable modems are used to provide the broadband internet access to the home and office users. 
Cable modem performs the modulation between the analog and digital signals.  Usually a cable
modem is an external device and it is attached to the Ethernet card inside your computer.

 Satellite Internet
Satellite Internet is very high speed internet connectivity that provides the sending and receiving
of the data signals via satellite.  A special modem is connected with the computer and a dish
antenna transmits and receives the signals. Satellite internet provides the uplink speed at 50 to
150 Kbps and downloads speed ranges from 150Kbps to 1200Kbps. Satellite connectivity is
good browsing and transferring the files.

 Fixed Wireless
Fixed wireless connections refer to the wireless systems that are placed in the fixed locations
inside a home and office.  In the fixed wireless connectivity, the subscribers can be added or
moved with the replacing the infrastructure.
