Thanks for the background info.
I am particularly excited about Ericsson's work in xDSL and
"Pair Gain" (not the company - Pairgain). (See my previous post)

Ericsson Adds ADSL-lite To Its
ANxDSL Multi-service Access
Platform FYI
June 10, 1998 -- Ericsson unveiled the addition of
splitter-less ADSL to its ANxDSL access platform,
ADSL-lite. This version of ADSL is targeted primarily at
the residential Internet access market.
With the addition of ADSL-lite, Ericsson's scaleable,
distributed ANxDSL offers a full compliment of ADSL
products and solutions for a wide range of service
offerings and network topologies, including VPNs,
Intranet and Internet access, VoIP, Switched Video
Broadcast (SVB), interactive video/video on demand,
and traditional transport.
ADSL-lite has the attention of both the computer and
telecommunications industries. An industry group, the
UAWG, was formed earlier this year to accelerate
standards through the ITU and encourage deployment
worldwide.
Ericsson's new ADSL product is part of the ANxDSL
multi-service access system. The ANxDSL is a
scaleable, multistage subtended DSLAM that provides
cost-effective deployment of ADSL access networks.
ANxDSL supports multiple xDSL drop technologies, e.g.
ADSL, DSL.Lite, VDSL and HDSL in the DSLAM.
Support for multiple transport protocols, e.g. ATM, IP
over ATM and PPP over ATM, enables tailoring to
service specific needs. A range of Exchange
Terminations for backbone interconnection and an
advanced concentration architecture is provided to
create a base for xDSL deployments for delivery of
high-speed Intranet and Internet applications, VPNs,
VoIP and a gradual introduction of digital TV services. |
