dslam installation
As you're aware, we're installing our own broadband network; the iinetwork. This is where we install DSLAMs into telephone exchanges to provide Australians with high speed Broadband2+ services.
This is an iiNet DSLAM Card. It provides ports for 12 customers on our iinetwork.
Your phone line plugs into this so it receives the ADSL2+ signal that supplies your iiNet broadband service.
An iiNet DSLAM sub rack. It is made up of 24 DSLAM cards.
Since each DSLAM connects 12 customers, it means the sub rack provides Broadband2+ services for 288 customers.
Cabling from the iiNet DSLAM Rack to the Telstra Cable access point
A rack can contain up to 2 sub racks. Your phone line exits the iiNet rack and then goes to an interconnection point within the exchange, where all the phone lines into that exchange meet.
Telstra Cable Interconnection Point.
From the Telstra interconnection point (MDF) your phone line leaves the exchange and makes its way to your home or business.
The finished product
Multiple iiNet racks housing sub racks of DSLAMs in a Telstra exchange.
