What type of backbone equipment does Ulink use to provide DSL service?
We use an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) switch and a DSLAM (DSL access multiplexer) to deliver DSL. This equipment is located in telephone company central offices. ATM is a highly reliable, redundant, robust, scalable backbone technology that allows the integration of voice, video, and data. Ulink is building a widespread ATM backbone, and extending the benefits of advanced broadband access to customers throughout the country.
