Motti, You might see this very interesting. I don't think the T1/E1 stadardization will approved the CAP as another standard, but any could happen, this is politic issue to me. For now, Amati is a champion for ADSL standard.
Source: Telephony Jul 29 CAP standardization for ADSL ignites passionate debate
Summer got a little hotter last week in Nashua, N.H., where the American National Standards Institute heard arguments from asymmetrical digital subscriber line vendors and service providers about standardizing carrierless amplitude/phase modulation technology.
Currently, only discreet multitone modulation, invented by modem manufacturer Amati Communications in 1992, is standardized for ADSL modems. Many companies want to keep it that way, at least for now.
Martin Moody, chairman of the ANSI T-1/E-1 committee overseeing the T1.413 ADSL line code and standard committee, could not predict when a decision will be made on CAP. However, he believes a final decision will come later rather than sooner, saying CAP was an issue at past meetings and at the meeting last week and will probably be talked about again at the next one. |
