The CROCUS SHDSL is a state-of-the-art baseband modem offering full duplex transmission up to 2.3 Mbps over a single two-wire unconditioned unshielded twisted-pair cable. The line speed of the modem can be adapted to optimise the throughput as a function of the characteristics of the local loop. The equipment is based on a new modulation technology called TC-PAM (Trellis Coded Pulse Amplitude Modulation), which guarantees higher speeds and longer loop performance. A complete range of plug-in interface boards makes the Crocus SHDSL ideal for interfacing with almost any application. Not only traditional serial interfaces such as V.35, V.36, RS-530 and X.21, but also G.703 and direct Ethernet 10BaseT connections with integrated bridge or routerfunctionality are available. All these interface boards can be exchanged in only a few seconds.
