Hotwire 6310 MVL Modem Overview

The Hotwirer 6310 MVLt (Multiple Virtual Lines) Modem is a component in the
Hotwire MVL System and interoperates with the Hotwire 8310 or 8312 MVL Card in the
DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) system. This system provides
high-speed Internet or corporate LAN access over traditional twisted-pair copper
telephone wiring.

The MVL technology:

H Transforms a single copper pair into multiple virtual lines to support multiple

services simultaneously.

H Operates over existing copper wire with existing telephone jacks.
H Provides rate adaptive data rates to dynamically adapt and allocate bandwidth to

optimize applications.

H Supports simultaneous multiple access of four MVL modems with up to

254 end-user systems sharing one common WAN interface.

H Features HomeLink which provides peer-to-peer communications, including print

and file sharing applications.

H Utilizes a POTS (plain old telephone service) splitterless environment at the

customer premises.

H Provides ability to obtain software upgrades online.

Hotwire MVL System

Copper pairs run from the central office (CO) to the customer premises (CP) to create
the local loop. The local loop terminates on the customer premises at the demarcation
point.
