1. Will the orctf solution be capable of 1.5Mbps? if so when?
***********************************************
Yes & Now.
Orckit has been much more active on G.lite than is widely known.
Orckit's G.lite solution is capable of working at well beyond 2 Mbps
but final speeds will depend on how the G.lite standard shakes out.
The 1 Mbps mentioned in Fujitsu release has no significance;
that product is capable of working well beyond 2 Mbps.
Remember the mindset of G.lite is for Internet access only- i.e. no
need to operate beyond 1 Mbps because Internet maximum
throughput is 500 kbps.
Orckit has already demo'd prototype splitterless modem working
up to 2-3 Mbps (possibly the only company to show it working
during ComNet?). A solution conformant to the final Standard,
once agreed, will be a simple software download on the Orckit
platforms (performed by remote management system)
It is not widely known that Orckit is also a contributor to the UAWG
(G.lite) technical sub-group. Many people are misunderstanding the
situation and believe Aware to be the only contributor, because of the
news leaks just before ComNet show. As a contributor to this group
Orckit is respecting the group's NDA
It is possible that Orckit will make public more on it's G.lite plans soon
**********************************************
2. If not, why they are not using an approach capable of such speeds?... after all
believe they know this stuff forwards and backwards, and politics and posturing aside,
g.lite seems basically to just be about "filtering and tweaking" signal ... in any case,
believe they will need to be able to at least publish comparable numbers to hold their
own in the public relations (disinformation) wars ...
... also if it seems appropriate would you ask/beg for an:
3. update on adsl silicon due mid 98? on track?

*** Edit by srvhap ***
This info is not public, but I feel that Orckit is not concerned with respect to there schedules. ** end srvhap edit ****

... i will try (again) via email, but recently seems to be hard to get a response.
*********************************************
Who is emailing who? It concerns me if people are not getting
a response from the company. Feel free to refer to me.

G.Lite is DMT..... period.
The UAWG core group is defining some deltas to the T1.413 Standard
Issue 2 and will then take them to the ITU for ratification.
The group will add a few things, but mostly it is REMOVING things
from the DMT standard. These are still under discussion.
All of Orckit's DMT solutions (past and future) are DSP based
and highly reprogrammable. " |
