The M-ADSL-Filter has been specifically designed to implement the functionality of a low pass filter using G.Lite Technology. This technology is similar to full rate ADSL but operates at a lower data rate of up to 1.5Mbps downstream and 512Kbps upstream, depending on line conditions and lengths. M-ADSL-Filter is a lower speed alternative version of ADSL that will eliminate the need for telecom to install and maintain a premises based POTS splitter. It was found necessary to include one or more, low pass filters in series with the POTS terminals in order to reliably achieve maximum data rates. For POTS voice band service, the M-ADSLFilter provides protection from ADSL signals, which may impact through non-line or other remote devices (handset, fax, voice band modem etc) and central office operations. For ADSL signals, it also provides protection from the high frequency transient and impedance effect that occur during POTS operations (ringing transients, on-hook, off-hook transient and so on). Because the POTS splitter in the M-ADSL-Filter connects directly to the subscriber loop media, it also provides some protection for externally induced line hits or faults which could damage any attached equipment or endanger people interacting with the installed equipment. The circuit protection will be provided mostly by standard central office line protection means and additional protection measures built into the POTS splitter to protect against line overstress, which could damage the splitter itself.
