JUST IN ON THE WIRES...... Technology News Tue, 07 Sep 1999, 1:31pm EDT Lucent Technologies Unveils Gear to Carry Voice Calls on Internet Lines By Andy Brooks Lucent Unveils Gear to Carry Voice on Internet Lines (Update1) (Updates shares.) Murray Hill, New Jersey, Sept. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Lucent Technologies Inc., the world's largest phone-equipment maker, unveiled a line of products that carry voice calls on high-speed Internet lines, eliminating the need for separate lines. The product, called Stinger, lets a phone company give voice calls on data lines higher priority than other information. The system is designed to ensure the quality of the call is as good as on a regular voice network. Lucent's technology works with so-called digital subscriber lines. DSL provides Internet access about 30 times faster than traditional dial-up modems and lets phone companies combine several lines on one copper wire. By offering voice services over DSL lines, phone companies can reduce the need for extra wiring for voice services. ``What this is going to do is really allow (phone companies) to bring DSL to the masses,' said Kevin Oye, Lucent's vice president of strategy and business development for data systems. Lucent shares rose 11/16 to 66 11/16 in early trading. Lucent and rivals are racing to develop new products that make phone networks more efficient to carry mushrooming Internet and data traffic, which doubles about every six months. Stinger lets phone companies combine as many as 16 voice phone lines and Internet and data services on a single copper wire. Though data networks can carry more information than voice networks, equipment makers have had difficulty maintaining voice quality on data networks. Lucent's Stinger distinguishes voice from other information on the network with electronic tags, letting the network know to give voice calls priority. The technology could eventually be used to prioritize other information, such as offering first and second-class e-mail, Lucent said. Lucent said about 20 customers are testing Stinger, which costs about $440 for each copper wire connected to it.
