A FRAD, or frame relay assembler/disassembler is a device that connects the customer's LAN to a frame relay network. It is often a module in a router, switch, or chassis hub. It is responsible for encapsulating (assembling)packets and de-encapsulating (disassembling)frame relay formatted data.

With this DSL version, the maximum distance can be about 4 miles, which is longer than the 3.4 mile maximum for other DSL versions.
