| Imagine giving
employees immediate, around-the-clock access to all the data they need — the
Internet, local area networks (LANs) or wide area networks (WANs) — with no more
waiting for dial-up modems to connect. And no more busy signals. Imagine giving them the
power to use a single phone line to access data while simultaneously talking on the phone
or sending a fax. And imagine doing it without investing in a major system overhaul. You can do it all with Asymmetrical Digital
Subscriber Line (ADSL) — a rate-adaptive service from the BellSouth Business
organization. ADSL service is a new modem technology that transforms a regular copper
twisted-pair telephone line into an ultra high-speed conduit for simultaneous voice and
data transmissions. Now you can use ADSL service to speed up your data communications to
and from the Internet or your intranet. Tasks that would normally take minutes or longer
can now be completed in mere seconds, thanks to BellSouth BusinessSM
ADSL speeds of up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 256 Kbps upstream.
Features:
- Sends voice and data transmissions
simultaneously.
- Achieves speeds of up to 1.5 Mbps
downstream, 256 Kbps upstream.
- Uses existing copper telephone
lines.
- Protects voice service and voice
features from power outages.
Benefits:
- Enhances productivity —
High-speed access reduces downtime spent waiting on data transfer.
- Reduces costs — ADSL's
high-speed connections let you conduct business as usual from remote locations; fast,
high-resolution videoconferencing reduces travel expenses; and simultaneous voice and data
traffic over existing lines minimizes additional network investments.
- Makes you more responsive —
Maintain better communications with your customers; a complex image or large file that
might take an hour to transmit over traditional telephone lines can be delivered in
minutes with ADSL.
- Allows you to expand your operations
— ADSL allows you to grow your data services as your business grows.
Sample Applications:
- Electronic commerce
- Enhanced e-mail
- High-quality, face-to-face
videoconferencing
- Sophisticated, high-speed LAN-to-LAN
or LAN-to-mainframe connections
- Fast and cost-effective
telecommuting
- Document sharing
- High-resolution digital fax service
- Distance learning
- Large file transfers
- Corporate server-based applications
- Automated databases
