Abstract
The goal of the project is the design and realization of an interface between Ethernet and SHDSL
technologies, that enables data transfers with several Mb/s speeds on one or multiple copper pairs
over distances up to 4 km. The whole project is based on a notion of a universally applicable
module. The module of Ethernet - SHDSL transmission system is going to be directly used as an
upgrade to the currently available E1 - SHDSL transmission system.
Ethernet - SHDSL transmission system interconnects local Ethernet networks with other
networks of the same type or enables access to backbone access networks, both on distances of
several km. It is composed of an Ethernet media access controller (MAC), processor with
suitably sized memory and interface unit to communication buses. A maximum sustained
throughput of 32 Mb/s is envisioned between local Ethernet network and remote SHDSL users,
using up to 8 copper pairs in multi-pair bonded configuration. The module is going to integrate realtime
operating system kernel with parts of TCP/IP protocol that are required to realize functions
of Ethernet bridge (IEEE802.1d or RFC1483/2364), basic router functionality with additional
network remote management and configuration be provided via SNMP protocol
(RFC1157/1901/2570).
There is a market niche to provide devices that enable Ethernet LAN interconnection services
and access to Ethernet to much larger user base with proven SHDSL technology using currently
available copper infrastructure, without any additional costs (as fiber installations to end-users),
since it is possible to cover the whole carrier serving area in Slovenia (estimated to be 3600 m)
and at least 85 % of it in other countires. This kind of soultion is very attractive for developing
markets of Eastern Europe, South America and Middle East where population is psread over
larger areas and distances outside concentrated urban areas.
