Overview
Digital subscriber line (DSL) is the world's
most prevalent broadband technology for
residential and SOHO subscribers.
According to the DSL Forum, approximately
36 million DSL lines are now installed
worldwide. DSL will continue to gain
momentum as subscribers demand higher
bandwidth and multiservice access (voice/
video/data).
Customer premises equipment (CPE)
manufacturers have responded to the
steady growth of the DSL market by
developing new generations of routers that
enable subscribers to connect a variety of
computing and peripheral devices, such as
desktop PCs, laptops, PDAs, printers and
servers.
