Telstra Plans G-Lite Net Access For All




November 9, 1998



SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, Australia's largest telecommunications provider, Telstra Corp. [AUS:TLSCA], will outline technology which could see high-bandwidth G-lite Internet access running over most of Telstra's existing copper lines in the year 2000 at a conference next week.

Telstra technology executives Phil Potter and Needet Ozegun will explain the technology, along with possible difficulties, at Globecom 98, being held in Australia for the first time.

An outline published by Telstra Thursday says the new technology, also known as ADSL Lite, will be capable of access rates of 1500 kbps to the customer and 500 kbps from the customer. But it warns of barriers including crosstalk in older quad cables. Direct customer-to-customer ADSL will not be possible: all links will need to go through a carrier's network.

Telstra has contributed to Globecom with sponsorship, technology help and voice boxes for the speaker program.

On display will be digital watermarking - Telstra's technique for copyrighting digital images; WebDial 1800, which lets Internet surfers click on an icon to place a phone call; Virtual Second Line technology; and home networking technology
