Abstract

Inverse multiplexing offers an approach to high-speed data networking that is different than many other currently fashionable network technologies. It uses a new type of customer premises-based equipment that makes use of existing network services to provide significantly enhanced functionality, rather than requiring a new and yet-to-be-implemented set of capabilities to be added to the network. This puts more control into users´ hands. Inverse multiplexers provide the ability to dial up multimegabit-per-second digital connections without requiring significant changes to the network itself. It is this ability to use currently available network offerings in a new and highly useful manner that makes inverse multiplexing such a valuable addition to the corporate networking toolbox.<>
