About the Hotwire
POTS Splitter
The Hotwire system enables simultaneous high-speed digital data access and
analog voice service over the same twisted-pair telephone line. Simultaneous
access to RADSL (Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line), M/SDSL (Multirate
Symmetric DSL), or MVL
(Multiple Virtual Lines) service and POTS (Plain Old
Telephone Service) requires the installation of a POTS splitter at the central
office (CO). The CO POTS splitter separates the DSL and POTS frequencies.
Four CO POTS splitter models are available:
5020 RADSL 12-port Card
6020 MVL 12-port Card
6024 MVL 24-port Card
7020 M/SDSL 12-port Card
