SHDSL Repeaters

RAD's S-RPT SHDSL repeater extends the transmission distance of SHDSL modems. Employing TC-PAM16 technology, the S-RPT SHDSL repeater can double transmission distances. Installed between two SHDSL modems, the S-RPT SHDSL repeater fully regenerates the received modem signal. Multiple repeaters can be used, without introducing jitter or wander problems. The S-RPT SHDSL repeater can be managed locally via an ASCII terminal or remotely from the central office SHDSL equipment (ASMi-52 2/4 wire SHDSL modem). Powering can also be local or remote (PHF-4 power feeding hub).

 

Typical applications include DSL links alongside highways, railways, pipelines, power lines, and waterways as well as DSL transport to remote concentrators in rural or remote areas, and communication lines to military, construction or temporary field camps and sites.

• Based on the SHDSL standard for higher speeds and longer loop ranges

• High quality, high performance

 

The S-RPT and S-RPT/4W extend the transmission range of modems using SHDSL (TC-PAM 16) line coding. Even though SHDSL modems provide superior reach and noise immunity in comparison with other DSL technologies, the maximum range of these modems in simple point-to-point (LTU-NTU) configurations is not sufficient for some applications:

- DSL links alongside railways, pipelines, power lines, and waterways

- DSL transport to remote concentrators in rural areas

- Military applications

The S-RPT and S-RPT/4W repeaters, using TC-PAM 16 line coding, operate over 2-wire or 4-wire lines accordingly. The units support line rates from 192 kbps to 2,048 kbps and fully regenerate the signal for increasing the transmission distance. The devices can be managed locally via an ASCII terminal, or remotely from the central SHDSL equipment, using standard EOC messages.
