>>But, Pigboy, doubting my word???? My feelings are hurt.<<
I've never doubted anything you or Amati have said in the past! That's what I love about the Amati Team, when Amati speaks, JW listens! :^)
Like I have said in these Hallowed Halls before, "you can read it in print, but until you hear them speak, you can't here the inflection in the tone of voice, and all the other little nuances"..
From the Herb Greenburg phone interview in June 96, after ole Herb said Amati licenses it's technology from Aware, and had to write a correction.
But if ADSL prevails, Amati CEO Jim Steenbergen is convinced Amati will rule.
"I can tell you we will outperform anything Westell and Paradyne does,'' he says.
But Steenbergen isn't swayed by competition.
"By the time the chip comes out we'll be developing things that are far ahead of what someone else can do who has just received the chip.''
He adds that "the biggest companies in the world are coming in here to partner with us to make equipment. They say that's where the margins are.''
Some excerpts from an April 12th News release
Providing a glimpse of next generation networking, Amati communications Corporation and Sourcecom Corporation today announced the industry's first demonstration of Internet access at speeds far in excess of ISDN or existing dial-up modem alternatives.
The demonstration, to be held at Networld + Interop, will show a client workstation load a clip of videos in just seconds -- rather than the minutes it takes today.
The key to such high-speed access is a combination of Sourcecom's InRoute Broadband router, the world's first asymmetric broadband router and Amati's Overture 8 ADSL/DMT modem, which enables
transmission rates up to 6 Mbps for ADSL connections. Together, Amati's Overture 8 and Sourcecom's InRoute Broadband will enable multi megabit-speed access to the Internet as well as corporate
networks for SOHO and residential users.
"This demonstration clearly shows the feasibility of adding direct LAN (ethernet) connectivity to ADSL technology," said Jim Steenbergen, president and CEO of Amati. "The merging of our two technologies is significant. It not only provides broadband-speed Internet and on-line services for small office, home office (SOHO) and residential users, but it does so without necessitating any line or network pre-conditioning in order to achieve peak performance."
Leave those who doubt, with their skeptic attitudes, continue to be lost in the DSL Hype from other companies. I know what I have, and they call it, building an Amati.
