Pairgain Jetstream connection referred to in the Forbes article. VoDSL will be BIG BIG business. PairGain and Jetstream Sign Technology Agreement for Voice over DSL Avidia System Family to Support Jetstream Compatible CPE ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 1999--PairGain Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:PAIR - news) today announced it has signed an agreement with Jetstream Communications® to incorporate Jetstream's Voice over DSL (VoDSL) technology into future PairGain CPE equipment. The technology integration will enable PairGain's existing VoDSL products to support both next-generation voice services, as well as traditional POTS. All voice traffic delivered to the public switched telephone network will arrive via Jetstream's CPX-1000 Voice Gateway. This combination enables PairGain to offer both ILECs and CLECs VoDSL products that maximize the revenue potential from advanced integrated voice and data DSL services and minimize the use of expensive network facilities. PairGain has already completed interoperability testing with Jetstream's Voice over DSL equipment and the Avidia System. The combination is on display in PairGain's ''First-Ever'' multi-service demonstration all week here at NetWorld+Interop in booth #4016. In addition to Jetstream VoDSL, the PairGain demo showcases the impressive versatility of the Avidia System in the industry's first-ever live demonstration of carrier class voice, data and video services with end-to-end quality of service (QoS) from a single platform. ''Jetstream has garnered considerable popularity from many of our customers that are looking at next-generation voice over ATM/DSL delivery, and we're very excited about our new partnership,'' said Howard Flagg, PairGain's co-founder and executive vice president of corporate business development. ''What this combination provides carriers is far superior to other solutions, because the Avidia System manages and grooms ATM traffic, which further reduces the cost of deploying VoDSL services.'' ''With proven interoperability between our VoDSL solution and the Avidia platform, PairGain is an integral part of our Voice over DSL solution,'' said S. Sundi Sundaresh, president and CEO of Jetstream. ''Their technology is ideally positioned to meet the DSL equipment requirements of our carrier customers looking to offer integrated voice and data services to the small business and residential markets.''

The second component is a family of integrated access devices (IADs) from Jetstream and its partner companies. IADs connect to a DSL line at subscriber premises and deliver up to 16 telephone lines and continuous high-speed Internet or remote LAN access.
