VODSL Explained
17 Sep 2008, 3:01 pmVoice over Digital Subscriber Line VODSL is a technology that delivers voice and data in one premium managed service. It is ideal for businesses that want a carrier grade voice and data quality and are looking for a more price competitive solution.
It allows businesses to upgrade their analogue phone lines into a complete digital voice and data solution.
Internet connectivity comes in two flavours, SHDSL and ADSL or various speeds depending on the distance from the telephone exchange.
Voice and Data can be delivered via one pair of copper line in comparison to the traditional Telstra network requiring an independent pair for each PSTN / analogue line.
In many cases VODSL analogue lines can directly replace traditional PSTN phone lines, hence there is no need to change the existing PBX/Phone System making VODSL a more logical choice for many businesses than VOIP.
Getting Technical
There are multiple choices of VoDSL products today and each uses a different protocol such as ATM, Frame Relay, or IP for connection.
Unlike many VOIP solutions, VoDSL uses a completely private network infrastructure that never runs over the public Internet, which is why in many cases can boast a carrier grade 99.995% up time guarantee.
