Normal phone service uses approximately 300Hz-3.2KHz for voice signal, 75V at 20Hz for ringing, and a DC loop current to signal on/offhook and supply a small amount of power to subscriber equipment. However, a pair of copper wires can carry frequencies far above 4KHz. [ADSL] exploits this extra [Analog] BandWidth to carry analog-encoded data between the subscriber and telco without interfering with normal phone service. |
