DSL TURBO 900 uses the latest communication technology, ADSL (Asymmetric Digital
Subscriber Line) that offers faster and uninterrupted Internet access. It allows use of real-
time, interactive multimedia and broadcast-quality for services such as video-on-demand,
collaborative computing and distance learning.
DSL TURBO 900 is capable of data rate in both Full-Rate and G.Lite, with Full Rate
transmission at up to 8 Mbps downstream, 640 Kbps upstream1and G.Lite transmission
at up to 1.5 Mbps downstream, 512 Kbps upstream1. Major features include the following:
ADSL Protocols Support
To ensure the broadest customer reach, DSL TURBO 900 features multiple data encapsulation
formats for DSL transport over ATM PVCs, including the widely supported ADSL protocol
