It won't be an ORCTF chip in the CPQ box:
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 1998--Aware, Inc. (NASDAQ:AWRE), a worldwide leader in xDSL technology for high speed Internet access and a pioneer of splitterless ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) announced that Compaq's shipment of ADSL enabled PCs completes a critical step towards the mass deployment of ADSL.
Aware's splitterless DSL-Lite Technology, which is compliant with the newly determined ITU G.992.2 or G.lite standard, began shipping yesterday in Compaq's new Presario 5100c Series Internet PCs and 5600 Series PCs. Aware's DSL-Lite eliminates the need for the installation of a splitter in every home, making the PC modems that incorporate this technology as easy to install as today's voiceband modems. Compaq's new 1.5 Mb Max Digital modem employs the Lucent Technologies' Wildwire DSP 1690 chipset, which incorporates Aware's DSL-Lite technology and software.
"Compaq's commitment to solving the bandwidth bottleneck marks the beginning of a new era in PC modems, where true high-speed Internet access is a consumer reality. This event, along with the recent ITU standardization success and rollout announcements by phone companies, provide unprecedented momentum for the ADSL industry "said Michael A. Tzannes, president and chief executive officer of Aware. "We are pleased that our work with Lucent and Compaq is producing a solution that will enable the consumer DSL market." |
