[xpresslink d/siemens] hi piper, just about a year ago siemens, italtel, and amtx announced that they would be working together on "next generation adsl technology" and that siemens would be marketing amtx modems and "adsl distribution systems"... since amtx was subsumed by txn have been wondering what happened with those relationships... figure either (or some combination thereof): 1. wstl has taken over where amtx left off... 2. siemens/italtel is going it on their own 3. siemens/italtel would be looking to their other relationships (coms/adtn) for expertise... or 4. siemens/italtel might be working with someone else as yet (kind-of) unnamed... for some time there have been hints that something might be up with orctf/siemens/italtel... and then in december siemens and orctf announced integration of orctf vdsl into a"jointly developed broad-band product..." (yahoo link expired.. can be found on orctf homepage) that sounded promising and seemed again to hint efforts may be expanded beyond strictly vdsl... with these thoughts in mind, this morning decided to revisit siemens website... and was rather (pleasantly) surprised to find that their xdsl access system, "xpresslink d" now seems to also go by the name "Fast Internet" (orctf's name for their dslam).. "xpresslink d" is described as "the xDSL broadband access solution for all customers with existing copper drop"... and includes vdsl... and seems to be an onu.. w2.siemens.de (click on xdsl product: express link d) fwiw... this is definitely a different product than what was featured last fall... had ruled out orctf involvement then because the upstream speed was listed as 640 K/bit/s (speed of amtx product).... this product has an upstream speed listed as 800 K/bit/s (orctf speed)... features are described as supporting up to 96 subscribers/rack... recent literature on fujitsu speedport: had "up to 48 ... (with future upgrade to 96)" ... maybe sounds like those new cards (now available) mentioned in the cc with two modems per card (?)... fnc.fujitsu.com management interface (snmp) fits and there are also isdn interfaces/capabilities as well... of course... there are probably other explanations besides siemens/orctf... but it does look suspiciously like a match... and would tie up some loose ends (like dt and italtel)... :) ... so whatdya think? (and do you know who else besides orctf and awre is on the UAWG (G.lite) technical subgroup?) best wishes s
