Abstract
High-speed digital transmission can be achieved with existing phone lines and HDSL chipsets while retaining plain old telephone service (POTS) with full failsafe capability. One original digital data signal �4! at a rate of at least 352 kbps and typical 384 kbps and one POTS channel �10! digitized at 64 kbps are multiplexed by a HPCS card �6! of a signal provider �1!. The resulting digital signal is transported over a twisted based on the current technology. At a receiving end, the signal is demultiplexed and regenerated by a subscriber's HPCS card �7!. The subscriber's HPCS card is line-powered via the cable �2! to avoid dependence upon local power. The regenerated signals are transmitted over one POTS line �42! and one data line �8! to or within a remote premise. Both HPCS cards have bypass relays for the POTS line to ensure the subscriber's POTS access in the event of a local power outage or electronic failure.
