INSYS launches embedded ADSL module for industrial applications

In applications with many users, such as ATM or Card terminals (POS), smart metering, and access control systems, fast data networks are crucial for success. Additionally, high data rates reduce operating costs. Widely available and cost-effective ADSL connections provide a transmission rate of up to 25 Mbps, much faster than modem or ISDN connections.

To use these advantages designers had to turn to consumer market ADSL devices which are neither applicable for industrial use nor provide a consistent configuration platform, therefore requiring huge integration effort. By comparison, the amount of work required to integrate a QLM-A100 module into the network infrastructure is reduced significantly due to the design and testing already carried out by Insys. This means a huge saving in time, labour and equipment costs. Moreover; the ADSL module can be integrated directly into the appliance, e.g. a camera. Developers can make use of a dedicated development environment including an evaluation board, a designer’s guide, and first-rate support.

QLM-A100 supports the ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ standards. It is available for Annex A/M/L or Annex B specifications. The module requires 3.3 V DC voltage supply. The unit measures 56.4 x 56.4 x 21.5 mm and weighs 32 g.
