CONCORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 29, 1996--GenRad, Inc.
(NYSE:GEN), today announced that it will leverage its existing
position in the local loop communications market with the development
of production-ready test solutions for the Asymmetric Digital
Subscriber Line (ADSL) market. GenRad is currently gathering
customer requirements for these solutions, which will be designed for
Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT)-based ADSL systems.

ADSL is expected to play a crucial role over the next twenty
years as telephone companies enter new markets for delivering
information in video and multimedia formats. ADSL is expected to
transform the existing information system from one limited to voice,
text and low-resolution graphics to a powerful network capable of
bringing multimedia to everyone's home or small business in this
century.

One example of how this technology may be used by a group is as
follows. "One person watches a movie on one television; a second
person does interactive homework on another television while a third
person accesses his corporate Local Area Network (LAN) at high speeds
on his personal computer. A fourth person surfs the Internet on her
personal computer while a fax arrives from the office."(a)

ADSL is changing the way telephone companies think about existing
telephone lines. It expands the transmission capability of the
copper infrastructure, enabling it to offer simultaneous channels for
personal computers, telephones, and televisions -- all while leaving
consumers' Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) undisturbed.

Debbie Salle, ADSL Business Development Manager for Motorola's
MOS Digital-Analog IC Division, commented on GenRad's announcement,
"Motorola is committed to enabling and accelerating the use of
standards-based ADSL technology for high speed data access and other
advanced services over existing copper networks. We are pleased to
work with GenRad in their development of a test solution that will
support and benefit DMT-based ADSL modem products in the production
environment." ........
