What are DSL Gateways?
DSL Gateways are made up of DSL network equipment, housed in specialized buildings, that enable residential and business customers to receive DSL service who previously had been located too far from their central switching office to get the service. In effect, they act as miniature central offices that are able to deliver DSL service beyond the standard 17,500 foot limit of a traditional central office. With the deployment of DSL Gateways in many neighborhoods, many more residential and business customers will be able to subscribe to DSL service in the near future.
