Aware Showcases DSL Technology Leadership At SUPERCOMM 2001
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1, 2001--Aware, Inc. (Nasdaq:AWRE), a worldwide DSL technology leader and innovator, will showcase its DSL technology offerings next week at SUPERCOMM 2001 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, June 5-7, 2001. Aware (Booth #2110) will feature demonstrations of the company's core DSL technologies as well as technology enhancements that enable new service offerings and more cost effective provisioning of DSL service.
"Worldwide demand for DSL among both consumers and businesses is stronger than ever, as evidenced by continued ramping deployments both domestically and overseas," commented Michael Tzannes, chief executive officer of Aware. He added, "Aware is also seeing increasing demand for advanced DSL chipset features such as video capabilities, loop diagnostics, and channelized voice. These enhancements are proving valuable to carriers in providing their customers the most satisfying DSL experience possible."
Full-Rate and G.lite ADSL
Aware's ADSL intellectual property offerings enable silicon suppliers to rapidly enter the ADSL industry with market leading, field proven, fully interoperable, standard compliant technology. Aware is committed to enhancing the versatility and robustness of its ADSL technology in ways that best serve the mass market. Our intellectual property offerings include single and multiport architectures, system and run-time software, ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) cores and reference/line card designs. Aware's ADSL solutions will be present in the booths of various exhibitors throughout the show floor, reflecting the growing presence of Aware's DSL technology in the marketplace.
Symmetric High-bit-rate G.shdsl
G.shdsl delivers greater symmetric bandwidth at longer distances than current SDSL technology and traditional T1/HDSL systems, making it an attractive solution for carriers' business-class voice and data services. Aware's G.shdsl technology, which is compliant with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) G.991.2 G.shdsl standard, further enhances Aware's core DSL technology portfolio. Using Aware's technology, silicon providers can rapidly enter the emerging G.shdsl marketplace.
Voice-enabled DSL (VeDSL(TM))
VeDSL is Aware's brand of Channelized Voice over DSL (CVoDSL) technology. CVoDSL enables a single phone line to carry additional lines of voice along with high-speed internet access and POTS (plain old telephone service). CVoDSL technology is being developed by several silicon and equipment vendors, and is making progress towards standardization at the ITU. CVoDSL can enable DLCs (digital loop carriers) and next-generation DSLAMs (DSL access multiplexers) to incorporate derived voice functionality. The elimination of much of the processing required by other voice over DSL techniques also makes integration of CVoDSL into customer premise modems relatively inexpensive. Aware will be demonstrating multi-line VeDSL in its booth at Supercomm.
Dr. DSL(R) Diagnostics Software
Aware's Dr. DSL diagnostics software provides ADSL chips with embedded loop diagnostics to reduce provisioning costs, improve troubleshooting, and expand monitoring necessary for service level agreements. Because Dr. DSL resides on the DSL chipset, it can be cost-effectively incorporated into any device with a DSL chip, including DSLAMs and test heads at the central office and a consumer's DSL modem at the home. Aware will be demonstrating Dr. DSL's single-ended DSL pre-qualification as well as advanced two-ended tests. The demonstration will illustrate how Aware's Dr. DSL integrated into test heads, DSLAM chipsets, and DSL modem chipsets can form a comprehensive testing architecture.
FastADSL(TM)
FastADSL is an advanced technology from Aware that increases the data rates of existing ADSL chipsets to over 11 Mbps, enabling service providers to offer two channels of digital-quality video using MPEG-2 compression, high-speed Internet access, and traditional voice services over a single telephone line. A software upgrade that enables FastADSL can be loaded into existing chipsets without requiring a hardware design change. Aware will also demonstrate FastADSL at the show. |
