What Is ADSL? Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for transmitting digital information at a high bandwidth on existing phone lines to homes and businesses. Unlike regular dialup phone service, ADSL provides continously-available,  an "always on" connection. ADSL is asymmetric in that it uses most of the channel to transmit downstream to the user and only a small part to receive information up from the user. ADSL simultaneously accommodates analog (voice) information on the same line. ADSL is generally offered at downstream data rates from 512 Kbps to about 6 Mbps. A form of ADSL, known as Universal ADSL or G.lite, has been approved as a standard by the ITU-TS.

ADSL was specifically designed to exploit the one-way nature of most multimedia communications in which large amounts of information flows toward or downloads the user and only a small amount of interactive control information upward is returned.

Several experiments with ADSL to real users began in 1996. In 1998, wide-scale installations began in several parts of the U.S. In 2000 and beyond, ADSL and other forms of DSL are expected to become generally available in urban areas. With ADSL (and other forms of DSL), telephone companies are competing with cable companies and their cable modem services.

How To Bluetooth Works

Bluetooth is is considered to be for 'personal' networking. This allows enough distance to perhaps communicate across your office, but not any further. It’s designed to be compatible across a range of very different operating systems and devices, including things that you would not normally think of as being 'computer' type items - for example, some types of headset. Bluetooth networking can enable the headset to connect with other devices such as your computer, phone, MP3 player or PDA. It is probably better from a health point of view to have a very low powered headset close to your head than it is to have a phone that might be generating 100 or even 300 times as much radio energy close to your head. For best compatibility, devices should support the Bluetooth 1.1 standard

Plasma Television Advantages

The plasma television has many advantages and benefits for you and your entertainment needs and wants. The plasma TV gives you incredible picture quality, it has a sleek design, and it is HDTV compatible. It provides sharper images, more vibrant colors and has higher resolution than most standard TV sets... Plasma screen televisions provide sharp, clear pictures, plus no image distortion. CRTs can't match this. Plasma TVs have brighter pictures and provides an amazing 160-degree viewing area, than LCDs.

Plasma display televisions have screens that are completely flat. There is no distortion of the image even at the edges and corners. It can hang on almost any wall. You can even hang them from your ceiling. Other advantages of plasma screen TVs are high ambient light tolerance, distortion free images, entirely digital technology, not affected by magnetism, and can be attached to a ceiling or wall, or used as a freestanding fixture. For the best technology in display panels, choose plasma technology.
