SDSL is a development of the original ADSL technology, which enables even higher speeds of connections to the Internet. SDSL also provides a higher level of service to facilitate remote workers using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Additionally, SDSL technology provides higher upload speeds than is possible with ADSL technologies, making the solution extremely beneficial for site-to-site VPN connections and applications where the amount of data being transmitted from your business to the Internet is higher than usual.
