ADSL service, once installed, is always on. There is no need to dial the ISP or corporate LAN at the other end. Unlike traditional and cable modems, ADSL ds not use shared bandwidth, a phenomenon that reduces connection speed as more users get on-line. With ADSL, the entire bandwidth is dedicated to a single connection. Regular telephone service uses only a tiny portion of the actual capacity of a conventional telephone line, while ADSL uses the remaining bandwidth for high-speed data transfer. This is accomplished by setting different frequency channels for different functions, so that voice communication occurs at thelower end of the frequency spectrum, while data transmission takes place at higher frequencies. ADSL makes possible simultaneous voice and data transmission. It also lets users download lengthy documents and graphics files quickly. This modem provides a plug-and-play interface with the host PC through the USB port, a standard port on many of today's PCs. The modem connects to this USB interface through a provided USB cable.
