Why DSL Broadband

DSL Broadband is a high-capacity and high-speed communication pipeline that is capable of delivering simultaneously, a range of voice, video and data services to homes as well as offices. It can do this in an interactive and reliable manner through a variety of technologies - cable, telephone lines, satellite, wireless and power lines.

  • Described by many as the ultimate medium of the future, broadband is generally referred to in the context of telecommunications, in which a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit information. Because a wide band of frequencies is available, information can be communicated through two or more signals over a common channel, and sent concurrently on many different frequencies or channels within the band.
  • The Broadband technology of communication allows more information to be transmitted in a given amount of time in much the same way that multiple lanes on a highway allow more cars to travel on it at the same time. The broadness of any Broadband service depends on bandwidth (the number of lanes a particular highway has).
  • Broadband has acquired great relevance in the context of interactivity, which requires a large amount of data being transferred in two directions, rendering 'narrowband' options slow, inefficient and expensive.
  • Examples of Broadband services include video conferencing, video on demand and interactivity-driven content of television and the internet.
