Recently, the Orckit DSLAM system and modem achieved interoperability with Analog Devices, Alcatel, Centillium, GlobeSpan, ITeX, Motorola, SAS India, Texas Instruments and 3Com. Orckit's sustained commitment to industry interoperability is demonstrated in its continued work and contribution with world standard institutes including ANSI, ETSI, ITU and the ADSL Forum. Orckit has recently participated also in interoperability testing at the University of New Hampshire laboratories. ''Orckit is already supplying large volumes of its DSLAM systems to major telco's around the world,'' said Dan Arazi, Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing at Orckit. ''Working towards and achieving ADSL interoperability will ensure a faster wide-scale deployment of DSL worldwide.
