Lucent's ADSL: lucent-sas.com <<< Called Stinger?, Lucent's breakthrough DSL access concentrator offers industry-leading Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, enabling service providers to prioritize voice services while delivering dedicated access to bandwidth-hungry data services at the same time. Stinger's advanced features enable it to deliver voice traffic over DSL with the same high quality and reliability that customers expect today. "Lucent's Stinger solution for the first time offers DSL without the trade-offs," said Curt Sanford, president, InterNetworking Systems, Lucent Technologies. "One copper wire will now deliver the highest quality voice plus high-speed Internet and data services. "To date, DSL has primarily been deployed by CLECs to deliver data and Internet access to businesses," said Sanford. "With its carrier-class voice capabilities, Stinger will now allow service providers of all sizes to take advantage of the growing DSL market, and deliver revenue-generating voice and video services as well. This is about making DSL ready for prime-time, large-scale deployment." DSL technology meets the growing demand for new broadband services without additional costly investment. The technology nearly doubles the capacity of existing copper wires and offers speeds up to 30 times faster than today's analog modems. Stinger enables service providers to offer their customers up to 16 phone lines, as well as dedicated high-speed data and Internet access, over a single copper connection that runs into their home or business today. . . . Stinger delivers the highest capacity and scalability in the industry. With support for up to 672 ports per chassis and 2016 ports per rack, the product offers nearly three times the port density of competing products in a smaller footprint and reduces costs by saving expensive central office space. By next year, Stinger will support up to 9000 ports on a single OC-12 trunk, making it possible to achieve large-scale deployment of DSL services from a single central office. Stinger's multiservice platform will provide support for all versions of DSL--SDSL, ADSL (full-rate and G.Lite), IDSL and HDSL2--allowing service providers to deliver a wide range of applications from a single platform. The product also delivers greater flexibility with support for both ATM and Frame Relay from customer premises to central office, offering service providers the choice of provisioning either an ATM or Frame-based access network. Stinger provides substantially better performance than competing products, with 1.6 Gbps system throughput, expandable to 8 Gbps in the future. The product also leads in redundancy, with no single point of failure. Lucent has introduced a new network management system, NavisAccess:DSL, for its DSL products. NavisAccess:DSL provides a Java-based(1) graphical provisioning interface for the Stinger and DSL TNT?, as well as new tools to monitor DSL MIB variables. The provisioning interface uses a 'wizard' system, which allows service providers to configure new DSL circuits quickly. . . . Stinger delivers Voice over DSL by interoperating with third-party Integrated Access Devices (IADs) and voice gateways. Lucent's Wired for DSL partners in this space are Jetstream, Tollbridge and CopperCom. For customer premises equipment, Stinger will interoperate with products from Atlas Communication Engines, Cayman Systems, Efficient Networks, FlowPoint/Cabletron, Netopia, XAVI, Xpeed and ZyXEL. Other certified Wired for DSL partners include CAIS/Atcom and SourceNet Corporation. >>>>> NN's ADSL: [Click on ADSL in upper right hand box] newbridge.com They're working with COMS and EFNT on the CPE.
