General Introduction
The new SHDSL.EVB.4CH reference design targeting industrial designs enables customers
to take advantage of Intel
®
SHDSL Chipset (previously known as "Lantiq SOCRATES
™-4E")
for long reach broadband connectivity. It is the first ever ready-to-copy reference design
developed for the Intel
®
SHDSL Chipsets. The SHDSL/Ethernet Bridge Modem was developed
by Teleconnect and measures only about 11 x 12,5 cm. It is available for online purchase
through:
•
Würth Elektronik webshop (
http://www.we-online.com/socratesdemo
).
Teleconnect offers dedicated support for board and software customizations. With this
Evaluation Board you get an Evaluation License for the Software Packages P1-P2-P3-P4-P5-
P6-P8-PD including bootloader and firmware update. For more information please see chapter
4.3 Functions and packages. With this, for the first time ever, even smaller companies without
DSL expertise can include SHDSL and Long-Reach-Ethernet connectivity into their designs.
SHDSL
’s unique rate/reach performance makes it the product of choice in an ever more
diversified field of applications ranging from business broadband access to enterprise networks
and industrial communications.
Known as long haul Ethernet, SHDSL was included in the Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3-2008
[1], where it is named 2BASE-TL. Standard Ethernet has a maximum reach of 100 m. SHDSL
has a reach beyond 15 kilometers.
Using SHDSL enables costumer to transmit Ethernet over only one unshielded twisted wire
pair or over any other cable. An example structure of SHDSL is shown at Figure 1.
