澳大利亚对于连接到电信网络的客户接入设备的电信技术标准AS/ACIF S003-2006将于2010年年底届满,之后便以现行的标准AS/ACIF S003-2008为主。 该标准适用于以下客户设备(Customer Equipment,CE): 设计多个端口(本地或网络),提供或预期提供到电信网络的接入(网关功能),且; 能够交换、存储、处理、转换、整合、线路隔离/耦合或多路复用模拟或数字语音或等效语音通信。 AS/ACIF S003-2008是结合VDSL2产品技术应用所作的变更,其与以前版本最明显的差异在于,测量功率谱密度(power spectral density,PSD)时频率范围从原来的12 MHz扩大到30 MHz。 值得注意的是,如今AS/ACIF S003-2008已修订为三份新标准: AS/CA S003.1:2010 Requirements for Customer Access Equipment for connection to a Telecommunications Network. Part 1: General AS/CA S003.2:2010 Requirements for Customer Access Equipment for connection to a Telecommunications Network. Part 2: Analogue and TDM based technologies AS/CA S003.3:2010 Requirements for Customer Access Equipment for connection to a Telecommunications Network. Part 3: Packet and cell based technologies
