Introduction
Developed for the ISP, ASP and
NSP, Broadband DSL offers nationwide access to the
lucrative broadband market in Malaysia. Broadband
DSL is an integrated solution comprising various components
that includes: Fixed Access, DSLAM, BRAS, ATM and
IP.
Broadband DSL is an ideal platform
for the bundling of applications and content with
a broadband access – audio and video streaming,
portal applications, net-meeting, e-commerce services
– almost anything is possible with 24-hour “always-on”
connection speeds of between 512kbps up to 1Mbps.
The levels of investment that
would be necessary to extend the reach of an access
network can often be prohibitive and time-consuming
– the capital costs may even jeopardize what
is an otherwise viable business plan. Broadband DSL
has been thoughtfully developed to overcome these
and other obstacles to ensure that the Service Provider
can hit the ground running.
