WASHINGTON, Jan 26, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Company Announces Relationship with Pairgain Technologies
FastComm Communications Corporation (OTC BB: FSCX) today announced, during its participation at Comnet 2000 at the Washington Convention Center, that Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology will be offered as a feature to its packet data and voice product line this spring.
Starting in April 2000, FastComm will begin shipping DSL-enabled products to FastComm customers. Using SDSL, HDSL 2 and G.shdsl interfaces, DSL will be offered in a number of the company?s award winning products, including the MetroLAN(TM), GlobalStack(TM), WEB.router(TM) and EtherFRAD(TM).
Peter Madsen, president and chief executive officer of FastComm, notes, "According to the leading industry research, there has been a significant shift toward the use of DSL technology, and we expect dramatic growth in the use of this technology as businesses incorporate DSL into e-commerce, virtual private networking (VPN), Frame Relay and voice services.
"The ability to offer DSL as an option to our existing features gives us a more robust enterprise product offering, and has enabled FastComm to form a relationship with Pairgain Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PAIR) to ensure seamless Digital Subscriber Line Access Mux (DSLAM) interoperability with their industry leading Avidia(R) System," adds Madsen
The Pairgain Avidia(R) System, an integrated DSL access switch, supports G.lite, full rate ADSL, SDSL, HDSL, DS1, Frame Relay and more from a single integrated platform.
DSL is a digital technology that offers access to high-speed networks at dramatically reduced cost compared with traditional T1 and E1 lines. Although DSL was initially used to provide low-cost, high-speed Internet access, advances in DSL technology have broadened its application to a range of voice and data services.
FastComm designs, develops, and manufactures advanced WAN/LAN/Global network routing and switching equipment, controllers and processors for IBM environments, Internet access products, and related networking devices. It is a total system solution provider specializing in voice/fax/video/data over IP and Frame Relay. FastComm is a leader in the effort to provide optimal migration paths for legacy networks that are upgrading to newer routing technologies.
