DPGS 0+8 (II)

DPGS 0+8 (II)

The critical questions a service provider asks prior to choosing a digital pair gain system for connecting subscribers in areas with limited copper infrastructure are:

· How many customers can be connected on a single pair?
· What is the maximum loop length?
· Will it support advanced services such as caller ID, payphones etc.?
· Will it interfere with other deployed in-bundle broadband services?
· Will it operate in harsh environmental conditions?
· Can the system add capacity economically?
· What are the added costs involved in installation, inventory   management and support?

Extel's 8-channel digital pair gain system provides the value-for-money solution to all questions posed above.

There are a number of 4-channel and 10/12-channel systems in the market at present. However, these may not be suitable for a number reasons such as, legacy systems with inadequate future growth potential, sufficient subscriber range, etc. Selecting a single solution reduces ongoing operational and management costs.

The DPGS 0+8 (II) uses TC-PAM coding at 520 kbps on the digital link and will not interfere with DSL or other broadband services in adjacent pairs. Whilst 10 channels and above comply with ITU-T 991.2 standard, the interference levels exceed that of ISDN recommendations and is hence considered to be unacceptable by forward thinking network managers.

TC-PAM can reach almost 20% further than the older 2B1Q versions. Hence the transmission distance of the Extel 8 channel system is comparable to that of a 4-channel 2B1Q system even though the bandwidth is higher.

The DPGS 0+8 (II) has been designed to be a cost effective solution without sacrificing performance and reliability. The design meets stringent over-voltage and over-current protection standards - ITU-T K.45, supports pay phones on all lines and is transparent to all the usual CLASS services such as caller line identification.

The Remote Unit electronics are enclosed in a totally waterproof enclosure so that the housing can be located permanently, exposed to the elements on a pole or wall. The Remote Unit does not require an earthed connection and therefore the total installation cost is reduced. The Remote Unit can also be located underground, using a totally hermetically sealed housing.
