This statement is true. The DTE is the device that originates or terminates the data and the DCE is the device that provides the clocking and timing signal to the communication circuit. In the context of a customer LAN, the DTE would be the device that sends or receives data from the LAN and the DCE would be the device that connects the LAN to the wider network or internet.
