Abstract

Apparatus and method for a central office data communications apparatus allows for combining the voice POTS and high speed modem data processing functions into one device at the central office. The combination of the signals allows for a single high-speed CODEC which samples both a POTS signal and the high-speed modem signals to be utilized. This eliminates the need for external POTS splitters and costly duplicative circuitry.
