* Symmetrical WAN speeds (up to 2.3 Mbps) over a single copper pair
* Support for voice over IP (VoIP) over DSL with IP quality of service (QoS)
* Support for IP QoS map to ATM class of service (CoS)
* Back-to-back operation or operation via DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM)
* Support for up to 23 virtual circuits per WIC
Based on the ITU G.991.2 global industry standard, the Cisco G.shdsl solution delivers symmetrical data rates from 192 kbps up to 2.3 Mbps. Speeds vary, depending on the loop length and line conditions. More traditional WAN links, such as leased-line and ISDN, provide similar service, but often at a much higher monthly cost. The G.shdsl WIC delivers symmetrical connectivity and provides the necessary bandwidth for business applications such as VoIP, videoconferencing, and toll bypass at a lower monthly charge.
