Overview of Lecture 31 The Telephone System Analog Services Digital Services Fiber To The Curb (FTTC)
Telephone System North American telephone system includes many common carriers Local companies and long-distance providers
Telephone System
Telephone Services Analog services: Analog network and FDM Digital services: Digital network and TDM For now, both types of services are available
Telephone Services
Analog Services Switched service and leased services Sensitive to noise and other forms of interference
Analog Services
Analog Switched Service The familiar dial-up service Local loop: Two-wire connection between the subscriber’s handset and the network The network is called PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network)
Analog Switched Service
Analog Leased Service Offers a dedicated line, that is permanently connected to another customer The connection still passes through the PSTN, but no dialing is needed
Analog Leased Service
AT&T’s Analog Hierarchy
Digital Services Less sensitive than analog services to noise Less expensive than analog services
Digital Services
Switched/56 Service Switched digital service - data rate up to 56 Kbps Subscribers need DSU instead of modem
Switched/56 Service DSU (Digital Service Unit) Changes the subscriber’s rate to 56 Kbps Encodes the data in the format used in the network
Switched/56 Service
Digital Data Service Digital leased line with a maximum data rate of 64 Kbps DDS also requires the use of a DSU
Digital Data Service
DS Hierarchy
T Lines Telephone companies use T lines to implement the DS services DS-0 is not actually offered as a service
T Lines Service Line Rate(Mbps) Voice channels -------------------------------------------------------- DS-1 T-1 1.544 24 DS-2 T-2 6.312 96 DS-3 T-3 44.736 672 DS-4 T-4 274.176 4032
