Westell, Lucent In Marketing Pact
AURORA, Ill. (Reuters) - Westell Technologies said it signed an agreement with Lucent Technologies to jointly market products enabling the high-speed transfer of information over traditional telephone lines.

Under the agreement, Lucent will begin marketing Westell's SuperVision Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) systems, which will be available in first quarter of 1998.

In addition, both companies will sell Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) products developed by Westell for Lucent's SLC Digital Loop Carrier Systems, or local telephone network systems. The combination systems are expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 1998.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. But Westell chief executive Rob Faw said the agreement was a "significant opportunity" for the company, giving it access to customers of one of the country's top loop carrier system providers as well as Lucent's established distribution channels and support capabilities.

"Clearly this puts us in a stronger position to compete against companies like Alcatel," Faw said.

Industry analysts have projected the DSL market at five to 10 million lines by the year 2000, Faw said.
