Re: Got ISDN covered--IDSL?
said by Squidii  :One of the little independent phone companies ( cyber.. something ) supposedly offered IDSL out of my CO, so I called and asked. He explained I was to far away for it. To which I said, but, I have ISDN, I'm pretty sure that is the requirement, then he said, "Oh, no, IDSL works differently it uses high frequencies and you have to have filters..". So, good luck. I've yet to find anyone who knew what I was talking about. It does work differently. It can't be provisioned through a SLC like regular ISDN, and IIRC it can't use ISDN repeaters. It's better than ADSL because it's good out to at least 18kft, often much farther.

Much further...because it can run through the same equipment as ISDN. In the west we (Bell) never installed these for end users. Covad normally leases these from us and resells them. As far as the Telco is concerned, it's an ISDN that doesn't terminate on our office equipment.

As far as the Telco is concerned, it's an ISDN that doesn't terminate on our office equipment. Perhaps SWB was just being rude. Or maybe it requires different cards that they didn't stock. Or possibly they were claiming not to be capable of running IDSL through a SLC just because they didn't want to burn 3 channels on the backhaul for the UNE price.
Either way, SWB claimed to be unable to provision IDSL through a SLC.

said by wierdo :It does work differently. Nope they both use the same 2B1Q line coding.
It can't be provisioned through a SLC like regular ISDN Since it is the same transport and uses the same plug-ins as ISDN it can served out of a SLC system with some restrictions on channel bonding and integrated SLC.
and IIRC it can't use ISDN repeaters. It's better than ADSL because it's good out to at least 18kft, often much farther.
ISDN/IDSL is good out to 18Kf with unloaded 26 gauge and about 25Kf with unloaded 24/22 gauge. That range can be extended by another half by installing a mid-span U repeater or can be run out to I think 25Kf on 26ga using the Adtran Total Reach ISDN cards.

Leander, TX | I'm curious about this. Let's say that I am 35,000 feet from the CO but there is no DSL provider there who will provision ISDL. However another 35,000 feet of so to the second or third CO away there is a provider. Can I get ISDL? |
