Abstract

The hybrid DSL system ( 10 ) for transmission of hybrid DSL data via a subscriber access line ( 2030 ) has a baseband transceiver ( 101 ) for transmission of first data in a base frequency band via the subscriber access line ( 2030 ) at a first data transmission rate, a non-baseband transceiver ( 102 ) for transmission of second data in a non-base frequency band via the subscriber access line ( 2030 ) at a second data transmission rate, and a data link ( 103 ) for interchanging parameters between the baseband transceiver ( 101 ) and the non-baseband transceiver ( 102 ) in order to increase the overall data transmission rate of both transceivers ( 101, 102 ).
