LU DSL INITIATIVE. Thread, How will this impact COVD? <LU has new carrier-class DSL platform that will allow service providers for the first time to offer business and residential customers the highest quality of voice over DSL -- along with high-speed data, Internet and video services -- all over one copper connection.
Called Stinger?, Lucent's breakthrough DSL access concentrator offers industry-leading Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, enabling service providers to prioritize voice services while delivering dedicated access to bandwidth-hungry data services at the same time. Stinger's advanced features enable it to deliver voice traffic over DSL with the same high quality and reliability that customers expect today.
"Lucent's Stinger solution for the first time offers DSL without the trade-offs," said Curt Sanford, president, InterNetworking Systems, Lucent Technologies. "One copper wire will now deliver the highest quality voice plus high-speed Internet and data services.
"To date, DSL has primarily been deployed by CLECs to deliver data and Internet access to businesses," said Sanford. "With its carrier-class voice capabilities, Stinger will now allow service providers of all sizes to take advantage of the growing DSL market, and deliver revenue-generating voice and video services as well. This is about making DSL ready for prime-time, large-scale deployment." |
