    Annex M Technology: White Paper

    Uploaded by

    Sildios Hanas
    Annex M is a new ITU standard that doubles upstream data rates for ADSL services. It works by shifting 138KHz of spectrum from downstream to upstream, expanding the upstream range from 25KHz to 276KHz. This allows services like video conferencing and VoIP without congestion. Products supporting Annex M can provide up to 3Mbps upstream under ideal conditions, offering cost-effective alternatives to T1 for business users and enabling applications like remote media servers.

    Standard Brief

    ITU-T (ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector) ADSL2/2+ Annex M specifies


    a new standard for ADSL services over POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) by
    doubling upstream data rates. Through this new technology, service providers can
    create and offer value-added but bandwidth-consuming services, such as video
    conferencing, VoIP, VoD (Video on Demand) etc. One of the greatest advantages is
    that users do not have to suffer traffic congestion while enjoying these services as
    well as surfing the Internet. Moreover, with doubled upstream bandwidth, an ordinary
    user can be their own service providers by setting up a media server center and
    delivering video programs for remote access.

    ADSL Standard Compliance


    Standard Downstream rate Upstream rate
    G.992.1 ADSL 8Mbit/s 1Mbit/s
    G.992.3 ADSL2 12Mbit/s 1Mbit/s
    G.992.3 ADSL2 Annex M 12Mbit/s 2.5Mbit/s
    G.992.5 ADSL2+ 24Mbit/s 1Mbit/s
    G.992.5 ADSL2+ Annex M 24Mbit/s 2.5Mbit/s

    Shifting Frequency to Higher Upstream Speed

    Annex M is an extension of the G.992.5 ITU-T International Telecommunications


    standard. It enables higher upstream speeds by increasing the available upstream
    frequency range. To double upstream bandwidth, Annex M shifts 138KHz from a
    downstream frequency to an upstream frequency. Therefore, upstream bandwidth can
    range from 25KHz to 276KHz.

    Take Billion’s BiPAC 7402G for example, the comparison of ADSL2+ test result
    between Annex M and Annex A shows the difference. It’s found that at the loop length
    of 1Kft, Annex M’s upstream data rate can reach as fast as up to 3,000Kbps whilst
    Annex A reaches 1,100Kbps. At 18Kft, Annex M’s upstream data rate can even reach
    up to 300Kbps, which is slightly higher than 290Kbps that Annex A can reach under
    the same loop length.

    Note: The corresponding CO DSLAM is embedded Conexant chipset. Under ideal conditions,
    the upstream rate can reach as much as up to 3Mbps with ADSL2+ Annex M.

    Benefits & Applications


    Billion’s ADSL products with integrated Annex M technology are fully compliant with
    the G992.3 ADSL2 and G.992.5 ADSL2+ Annex M standards, offering the possibility
    for service providers and users to expand their imaginations in terms of creating
    diversified services and applications.

    High-speed upstream data rate


    By increasing the upstream data rate to approximately 2.5Mbps (up to 3Mbps
    under ideal conditions), users can experience faster and smoother data
    transmission. Users do not have to suffer traffic congestion when sending and
    receiving important data or video streams.

    Cost-Saving
    To address business users’ needs for efficient and cost-effective network
    services, Annex M provides an alternative connection to T1 or G.SHDSL that
    delivers similar upstream bandwidth but cost a lot more.

    Triple Play Services


    With the increased upstream data rate, service providers can not only create and
    offer Triple Play services, but general users can be their own service provider.
    Mobile users can easily set up a media server center at home broadcasting video
    programs to the Internet, so they can watch the shows remotely on laptop or
    PDA devices.
