NEW FEATURED COMPANY: mPhase Technologies, Inc. ,www.mphasetech.com,
(OTC BB: XDSL)
We want to present to you a good diversity of companies from various
emerging Internet sectors. We have taught you about leading Internet
advertising, Internet gaming, and E-commerce companies. Those of you who
have followed us since day one found out about the cable modem industry
with companies such as At Home and Internet Ventures.
This week, we have chosen to profile a high-speed Internet access company
involved in the hardware production and service deployment of high speed
Internet access using the other rapidly emerging Internet access technology
called DSL (Digital Subscriber Line).
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: XDSL), www.mphasetech.com, is a
communications equipment company whose products facilitate the convergence
of video, voice and data services over the existing copper telephone wires
through a dedicated bandwidth solution. The company's TRAVERSER product
will allow telephone companies to simultaneously deliver 80 channels of
digital television programming, 1 MB of high-speed internet access and
traditional voice services over the existing local loop infrastructure.
The company believes it has the most economical and practical solution to
the current constraints of receiving broadband services to the home.
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology allows telephone companies to
maximize the potential of installed telephone lines thus avoiding
installation of new wiring, a process which is time consuming and extremely
expensive.
The demand for enhanced and interactive services has grown dramatically.
There are currently over 30 million internet accounts in the United States
using 56 Kbps or slower service. Driven by slow and unreliable service
from current internet service providers, many consumers and telecommuters
are demanding high speed internet access. Using its proprietary hardware,
mPhase offers a specific flavor of DSL called RADSL (Rate Adaptive Digital
Subscriber Line) allowing high-speed data transmission at speeds up to
8Mbps downstream and up to 1 Mbps upstream, increasing throughput up to 250
times faster than an existing 28.8K Internet connection. This allows for
high-speed Internet access, digital video, and telephone communications to
be conducted over an existing telephone line simultaneously. Because the
transmission speed is rate adaptive, mPhase xDSL adjusts to the length and
signal quality of the telephone line, automatically selecting the highest
practical operating speed.
mPhase has stated that they are the first affordable alternative to coaxial
and fiber delivery for regional bell operating companies and local
telephone exchange carriers. The mPhase xDSL transceiver is the only
technology able to transport voice, digital video programming, and data
over existing telephone lines without impacting traffic and without
degrading voice quality. mPhase has also stated that they will engage in
development of additional applications which may include video
teleconferencing, distance learning, tele-medicine, baby monitoring,
e-commerce and house alarms.
mPhase comparables include Tut Systems (NASDAQ: TUTS), Aware (NASDAQ:
AWRE), Orckit (NASDAQ: ORCTF), PairGain (NASDAQ: PAIR), Alcatel (NYSE:
ALA), ECI (NASDAQ: ECILF), @Home (NASDAQ: ATHM), Time Warner (NYSE: TWX),
and Online System Services (NASDAQ: WEBB).
mPhase Technologies, Inc. (www.mphasetech.com) traded on the OTC Bulletin
Board under symbol XDSL.
In a recent research report written in August, 1998, Kaufman Brothers, L.P.
issued a Buy rating on the company with a 12 to 18 month price target of
