Consumer Delivery of ADSL Solutions Accelerates Interoperability Between Alcatel's Dynamite Chip Set and Motorola's CopperGold Solution Supports PC OEMs and Modem Manufacturers' Delivery of DSL Systems This Year AUSTIN, Texas, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Delivery of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) services to the end-user market is accelerating with interoperability recently demonstrated between digital communication products from Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector and Alcatel Microelectronics. Motorola's CopperGold(TM) Lite ADSL remote solution and Alcatel's Dynamite chip set were proven to be interoperable as part of the ADSL Consortium testing conducted at the University of New Hampshire. Interoperability serves as a major catalyst for the ADSL industry and enables manufacturers to provide plug and play capability to end users for consumer deployment. Achieving interoperability among major ADSL manufacturers demonstrates the industry's commitment to making ADSL a widely available solution for broadband access. "Without interoperability, you don't have a product in this market," said Matt Nelson, ADSL Lite product line manager for Motorola. "Having interoperability with existing Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs) builds momentum for ADSL and accelerates adoption in the marketplace." Motorola has begun sampling of the CopperGold Lite chip set, and expects to ramp to production levels in Q3 1999. For more information, contact your local Motorola sales office or distributor or visit our web site at www.motorola.com/adsl. "We have worked hard to support our customers and our own hardware through the interoperability testing process for G.lite," said Dave Long, Strategic Marketing Manager, Alcatel Microelectronics. "Alcatel will continue to support interoperability in order to guarantee the standards compliance that is vital to further the growth of this market."

Doesn't the new Windows98 edition provide for multiple PC connections to one modem? I read that in a MSFT email I think. It is my understanding I will be able to be connected to my ISP at the same time as my kid are...sharing the same modem via different PCs.

"I'm surprised that your local PUC lets Adelphia get away with restricting home wiring." I didn't say that. I said they want to charge for each computer connection via cable. Look, Adelphia wants $35 per computer--unless I wire illegally. Some people will, most won't as bandwidth moves out. For many home networkers, it's my guess that cable looks more expensive. And that's key. Because when you boil it all down, dsl vs cable, the success or failure of Aware -- price point and signal quality is all that matters. DSL looks cheaper for home networkers and based on the reliability of my cable signal, I'd rather hook up to the phone lines. It's not a technical analysis, it's common sense.
