It wasn't me asking what Aware makes Elroy. Now.......
You say:
"Otherwise, how can Aware, with no central site (ISP, telco) presence, make its products workable?"
I'll answer that with this question:
Why did the following companies license the Aware technology?
Ascend Communications
3Com/U.S. Robotics
Hayes
DSC
Ericsson
Siemens
ADC
Samsung
Sumitomo
and AFC.
Other customers include ISPs, RBOCs and Telcos.
Now here is what Aware makes:
About what Aware makes:
Aware develops and markets xDSL technology, chipsets, modules and development systems, including hardware and software interfaces, and ultra high-speed modems. Their products let users easily and cost-effectively integrate xDSL into their own product and service offerings. Aware also develops and markets image compression software products based on wavelet technology
Compression:
EFTS by Aware
WSQ by Aware
AccuPress for Photoshop
AccuPress for Multimedia
SeisPact
AccuPress for Remote Sensing
AccuPress for Radiology
Aware currently provides a number of wavelet based image compression products appropriate for use in high quality, bandwidth sensitive applications. Ranging from their general purpose AccuPress for Multimedia to the fingerprint specific WSQ by Aware product, Aware's compression software delivers a high performance, high quality solution in an easy to integrate package. Available as callable libraries, Photoshop plugins and WEB browser plugins, Aware's compression solutions can be quickly and seamlessly integrated into existing applications and systems.
Aware's wavelet compression products employ a class of algorithms totally different from those used in ADSL and related xDSL systems. Our wavelet compression technology involves the use of lossy image compression, and is only useful for a select class of data such as digital images and video. As the name lossy suggests, wavelet compression introduces an irretrievable degree of loss into images and video and is unacceptable for general purpose use.
I hope I've answered any questions you may have had.
