How does DSDN work?
DSDN technology is based on proven switched Ethernet local-area networking concepts. Originating from a fiber optic network backbone, Cat6 twisted-pair cable is connected to environmentally hardened DSDN switches throughout a neighborhood. Cat6 wiring then connects the switches to a subscriber’s home or business. By using standard Ethernet connections, the DSDN network does not require expensive interfaces, and can be built for far less than FTTH alternatives. To conserve bandwidth and eliminate congestion, the DSDN switches route data packets intelligently within the network. Even if a cable is cut, the intelligent path routing capabilities of the DSDN network allow it to move around the affected area to deliver reliable, continuous service. More importantly, traffic within the network maintains a speed of 100 Mbps and does not need to travel through a central office, head-end or public Internet.
