SDSL
Synchronous Digital Subscriber Line. A means of achieving broadband access to the Internet using conventional copper telephone cables where the bandwidth down from the Internet is the same as the bandwidth up from your computer to the Internet. SDSL usually has a premium cost in comparison to an ADSL line.
Standard SDSL provides up to 2Mbps synchronous service. SDSL usually includes the installation of a dedicated digital router into your site, and is ideal for businesses that need to transfer large quantities data as quickly as possible.
The benefits of SDSL include:
- Equal upload and download speeds.
- Suitable for VoIP & Video conferencing.
- Leased line equivalent.
- High throughput VPN.
It is feasible to set up SDSL as an office-to-office VPN, while having a separate ADLS line for standard internet connection for email or browsing. Whether this solution is good value for money depends on the amount of data you need to transfer, number of users and their requirements.
