DSLAM Insights

What is DSLAM?

A DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) is a network device, usually located in a telephone exchange, that connects multiple customer Digital Subscriber Lines (DSLs) to a high-speed digital communications backbone. The DSLAM aggregates the DSL connections, converting them into a format suitable for transport over the backbone network, typically using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or Ethernet. It's a key component in delivering broadband internet services to homes and businesses over existing telephone lines.

DSLAM Complementary Technologies

OLT

OLT (Optical Line Termination) is used in fiber optic networks. While DSLAM uses copper, the technologies can be found together in hybrid fiber-copper networks where OLT provides the backhaul and DSLAM handles the last mile copper connections, thus it is complementary to DSLAM.
