To separate the ISDN data from the ADSL data, an ISDN splitter is installed at
both the customer's premises and the CO. This splitter ensures that each type
of traffic is transmitted to the appropriate device at each location. (See
Figure 7-6.)

ADSL Without Splitters

ADSL Lite, or G.lite, was developed to provide a low-cost, no-hassle WAN
connection. Instead of the up to 8 Mbps downstream transmission rate of
ADSL, ADSL Lite provides just 1 Mbps downstream. The upstream rate is only
512 Kbps, rather than the 1.544 Mbps offered by ADSL.
In addition to the low cost, subscribers receive the following advantages:
No splitter—No splitter is required at the customer's premises. Instead,
ADSL Lite uses a microfilter, which is easy to install. Typically, the
microfilter is a small device that is attached on the wire that connects the
DSL modem to the wall jack at the customer's premises.
Easy installation—With ADSL Lite, no modifications need to be made to
the local loop, so the customer does not have to wait for a service call
from the local carrier. After the DSL modem and the microfilter are
plugged in, the installation is complete.
