PTI ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line)
PTI-DSL is a technology for moving data over regular phone lines. A DSL circuit is much faster than a regular dialup connection, and the wires coming into the subscriber's premises are the same (copper) wires used for regular phone service.
With PTI-DSL, you are taking advantage of the unused bandwidth that already exists on your phone line. Regular telephone service uses less than one percent of the capacity of the telephone line, leaving the remaining 99 percent of the line for high-speed data use. This means that you can enjoy a fast, permanent connection to the Internet, and still have full use of your telephone. And unlike dialup services, PTI-DSL users enjoy a DSL line that is continuously open.
How It Works
It's very simple: PTI-DSL shares an ordinary telephone line. A special device ("line filter/splitter") is installed on the line; it splits the signal between the telephone and DSL modem. Unlike traditional modems, both the telephone and DSL modem can be used simultaneously. The DSL modem is "always-on", meaning no phone call charges to the Internet service.
Why Should I Get DSL?
- Speed. DSL is the best solution for high-speed access. DSL can ensure the data rates necessary to handle all kinds of applications, such as broadcast quality video and very fast data transfer.
- Connectivity. With DSL, a user is always connected, does not have to wait to check email or browse the web, because there is no dialing, absolutely no busy signals and no strange noises coming from your modem. Being online all the time places the world at your fingertips. You'll be amazed how fast you can download just about anything from simple files to complex video clips with the lightning fast speed of PTI-DSL.
- Ease Of Use. DSL has proven to be easy to use. It is up and running following a single visit from an installer. Once the installation is complete, the customer simply clicks on their browser and they are connected. Nothing could be easier!
- Reliability. The copper-based telephone network over which PTI-DSL operates is one of the most reliable infrastructures in the CNMI. It is very rare for phone lines to go down and when they do, service is usually restored very quickly.
- Security. Our PTI-DSL, because it uses the existing telephone system, supplies a private point-to-point connection between a user and PTI's CO (Central Office). Users can make purchase, do banking transaction or even pay their PTI phone bill online.
