Westell Introduces Dynamic Multi-Hybrid (DMH) ADSL Modem

Westell unveiled a Dynamic Multi-Hybrid (DMH) technology that it claims improves DSL performance by as much as five times on DSL lines with bridged taps. The company estimates that approximately 75% of telephone lines have some form of bridged tap, which can impair DSL service quality and download speed. Westell said its new ADSL model with DMH technology almost completely eliminates the effects of bridged taps enabling significant improvement in downstream data rates and permits more access lines to deliver DSL service. Westell calculates a 300% improvement in the downstream rate over that of a conventional modem with a typical 250-500 ft. bridged tap. This improvement in signal quality enables service providers to successfully provision DSL services at distances further from the central office than previously obtainable. Westell’s WireSpeed modem with DMH technology is a single ended modem solution working with standard ADSL central office DSLAMs.
