Advanced Fibre Communications Receives National Award for Network-Technologies Implementation ATLANTA, June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Fibre Communications®, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFCI - news) announced today that last night it received a SUPERQuest Award, presented by the SUPERCOMM '99 Conference and tele.com and InternetWeek publications, in recognition of its outstanding achievements in implementing network technologies. The presentation was made at a gala ceremony as part of the SUPERCOMM '99 Conference and Exhibition being held in Atlanta. The second annual SUPERQuest Awards were sponsored by SUPERCOMM and CMP Media's tele.com and InternetWeek publications. AFC's implementation of the ADSL x+y(TM) line card for the UMC1000® was lauded as the best application in the DSL Category. The ADSL line card provides 6 ADSL G.Lite circuits with the option to support Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) quality derived voice using innovative G.Lite modems. The UMC1000 also provides integrated GR303 functionality, eliminating the need for external GR303 gateways. The integrated UMC1000 ADSL G.Lite x+y product family enables service providers to offer high density ADSL out of the UMC1000 node, while eliminating the need for costly overlay networks, remote DSLAMs, and splitter shelves. The ADSL card is powered by Centillium Coppersim(TM) technology. ''This award is indicative of the real market demand for integrated voice and data over ADSL while maintaining PSTN voice quality and services,'' said Philip Yim, Director of Product Planning for AFC. ''Our innovative ADSL solution will allow service providers to meet these demands cost effectively, while maximizing their embedded investment,'' Yim stated. The SUPERQuest Awards recognize the implementations of public and private network solutions, and the key product or technology involved in those solutions, that have advanced business for the customer. The program also recognizes the most promising new technologies represented on the SUPERCOMM show floor. Organizations were recognized in 12 categories. The competition, established last year, drew more than 120 entrants and was judged by a panel of journalists and industry experts.
