Related Quotes ISPD 10 5/8 -1/8 delayed 20 mins - disclaimer Friday November 5, 2:59 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Interspeed, Inc. iWay Communications Selects Interspeed's DSL Access Routers For Widespread Deployment Throughout the Western U.S. The Interspeed 500 Forms Backbone for MTU Applications In California; Interspeed 1000 Will Help Bring First DSL Services to Las Vegas NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Interspeed, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISPD - news) and data communications carrier, iWay Communications today announced that iWay has selected the Interspeed 500 and Interspeed 1000 Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Access Routers (DSLARs) for widespread deployment throughout the Western United States. iWay Communications, which specializes in providing dedicated, high-speed point-to-point and Internet access services using DSL technology, is incorporating the Interspeed 500 in Multi-Tenant Unit (MTU) applications, and the Interspeed 1000 in central office co-location applications. One of iWay's new MTU applications involves a 15-floor office building with 75 business tenants in Encino, Calif. The Interspeed 500 enables iWay to provide cost-effective high-speed Internet access to tenants using the building's existing copper telephone lines. iWay is utilizing the Interspeed 1000 platform to deliver the first ''business class'' SDSL service in Las Vegas. iWay is currently taking steps to co-locate the Interspeed equipment in Sprint central offices. End to end service is expected in the first quarter of 2000. When asked what feature was most influential in his decision to utilize the Interspeed platforms, Russell Grin, president of iWay Communications said, ''The Interspeed platform introduces a unique opportunity and competitive advantage in its ability to provide DSL loop access through a layer 3 solution to small ISPs, eliminating the need to purchase a layer 2 router commonly used today. Our target clients are smaller ISP's who wish to resell DSL but find the current pricing model of other CLECs cost prohibitive. With that in mind, we found Interspeed's integration of routing and DSLAM capabilities very compelling.'' ''The DSL market represents a significant opportunity for innovative service providers,'' said Steve Ide, president of Interspeed. ''We have the industry's first products to offer complete routing and switching capabilities in a single platform. The Interspeed 1000 and Interspeed 500 DSL Access Routers enable ISPs and CLECs to cost-effectively meet the insatiable demand for high-speed Internet access. Initial customer response to iWay's MTU offering has been promising and the carrier is poised to achieve similar results with its central office services. Interspeed looks forward to working with iWay as it rolls out business-class DSL service offerings.'' About Interspeed DSLARs The Interspeed 500 is designed for larger MTU and campus environment deployments. The Interspeed 1000 is ideal for central office applications. Both products include complete DSL aggregation, layer 2 switching, IP Routing, and VPN functions in a single device, eliminating the need for service providers to purchase these components separately, saving significant cost. With these advanced products, Interspeed can meet service providers' complete DSL access requirements, ranging from a 16 port in-building application to a 192 port Central Office installation. The two DSLARs are managed with Speedview(TM); a powerful set of administration and management functions that makes installation as simple as ''plug and play.'' Speedview is a management interface that uses an embedded, secure http server that enables complete system management and configuration from a standard Web browser. A text-based command line interface is also available. The application conforms to Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to support dedicated network management software platforms. About iWay Communications Burbank, Calif.-based iWay Communications is a CLEC providing wholesale nationwide DSL connectivity. iWay offers DSL access from Covad, Northpoint, Rhythms and NAS in many major metropolitan areas. In addition to service, the company will offer itself via deployments scheduled for later this year. About Interspeed Interspeed designs, develops and markets advanced high-speed data communications solutions based on digital subscriber line (DSL) technology. Its products enable data communication service providers, such as competitive local exchange carriers, Internet service providers, and owners of multi- tenant units to utilize the existing copper wire infrastructure to deliver high-speed data access to their customers. Interspeed offers the industry's only single platform system that integrates the principal components required to offer DSL service, including signal concentration, routing, switching and network management. Unlike traditional DSL products, Interspeed's DSL Access Router can offer customers a highly scalable and flexible solution at a lower total cost of ownership.
