Taiwan - Ascend To Bring Faster Connections To SpeedNet 07/07/98

Newsbytes, Tuesday, July 07, 1998 at 11:01

HONG KONG, CHINA, 1998 JUL 7 (NB) -- By IT Daily. Ascend Communications
[NASDAQ:ASND] has signed an agreement with Taiwan's second largest
Internet service provider (ISP), SpeedNet, to upgrade its Max 4000 to
Max TNT and Max 6000 wide area network (WAN) access servers to provide
faster connections for its users.

Under the agreement, SpeedNet will also buy 15,000 dial-up ports from
Taiwan-based Phitech Technologies, dramatically upgrading the capacity
and throughput of Internet access for users.

The Max TNT is claimed to be the industry's highest density carrier-
class WAN access switch and is able to support high volume, multi-
service access requirements.

The Max 6000 is Ascend's new mid-range access switch offering a
three-fold increase in data throughput over the Max 4000.

SpeedNet General Manager Jeff Chen said: "Internet usage is booming
in Taiwan and the number of subscribers of SpeedNet is growing
tremendously. In order to provide a high quality network service,
SpeedNet has been expanding its bandwidth and equipment aggressively."
