U.S. Robotics selects Aware for key ADSL technology SKOKIE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 1997--U.S. Robotics (NASDAQ:USRX - news) announced that it licensed discrete multi-tone (DMT) technology from Aware, Inc. for future releases of ADSL products under development. U.S. Robotics will develop software that incorporates Aware's DMT technology into the next-generation Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAM) and customer premise equipment (CPE) available next year. The design will use a reprogrammable Digital Signal Processor (DSP) chip so that field units support software updates. The companies will collaborate to ensure interoperability with Aware's other licensees building ADSL equipment in order to help telephone service providers accelerate ADSL to the mass-market. DMT is a technique standardized by ANSI and ETSI for providing Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) services' multi-megabit data transmission over local-loop telephone lines. ``Aware has the best technology and the most productive relationships with other key ADSL vendors, so that by working together, we can quickly establish wide interoperability. We can adhere to evolving defacto and dejure ADSL standards by means of modem software upgrades. We can minimize cost by using a general-purpose DSP chip. These factors protect our customers' investment no matter what directions standards take.'' said Laura Howard, vice president of business development for U.S. Robotics Broadband Access Communications Division. ``Aware brings DMT technology and a number of ADSL systems vendors using the DMT chipset from Aware and Analog Devices Inc. U.S. Robotics, as a major remote access vendor, can help us drive interoperability among all,'' said Jim Bender, Aware president and CEO.
