Two New Fujitsu DSLAMs
Posted: 21st Mar, 2003 By: MarkJ
ADSLGuide reports that Fujitsu has announced details of two new broadband ADSL DSLAMs; FDX Compact and FDX Mini DSLAM. The units are specifically designed for use in small and rural exchanges:
The launch of the Mini DSLAM is no suprise, BT has been trialling several brands as part of its Community ADSL product since Autumn 2002. The picture shows the very small size of the Fujitsu unit aimed at that product niche. One thing people have voiced concerns about is expandability - this Fujitsu product supports 24 users in a single unit, and can be cascaded to provide 56 users from a single FDX mini system. Additionally scope for future expansion to 112 lines is catered for.
The FDX Compact is interesting, as we are seeing a lot of exchanges from small towns either not generating a great deal of demand, or simply they are too small for a full sized DSLAM,and too large for the mini DSLAMs. The Compact model can support upto 279 lines, with a scaleable architecture allowing upto 620 lines in the future.
It's good to finally see the technology behind what could ultimately help to cut the level of demand required to enable a local exchange with ADSL.
