Interconnection
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Mar 13, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Introduction Into The North American Market Is
Planned For The Second Calendar Quarter
MicroTel International Inc. (OTC BB:MCTL) ("MicroTel") Monday
announced that its Paris based CXR, S.A. subsidiary has introduced into
the European market it's new FASTLINE 2000 modem under its popular CXR
Anderson Jacobson brand name.
Based on new state-of-the-art mSDSL (multirate symmetrical digital
subscriber line) technology, the FASTLINE 2000 varies its transmission
rate to provide the maximum performance available over single-pair
copper wires. This technology greatly reduces the cost, complexity and
time required to support the new fast T1/E1 and FT1/FE1 circuits used
for Internet and LAN access, video conferencing, distance learning and
video-on-demand among other applications.
Commenting on the new product Mehdy Mirin, Network Product Manager for
MicroTel's California based CXR Telcom Corp. stated, "Increased demand
for Internet access, along with the deregulation of the global
telecommunication industry, has resulted in requirements for an array
of new communication services.
"To deliver these new services, Internet Service Providers (ISPs),
Inter-Exchange Carriers (IECs) and Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers
(ILECs) must achieve affordable broadband transmission over the
existing copper wire infrastructure. Increasingly, these providers are
looking to Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology as the best means
for getting the job done."
In step with this worldwide trend, CXR S.A. -- a worldwide manufacturer
of baseband modems and T1/E1 access products has added the Model
FASTLINE 2000 mSDSL Modem to its growing family of Network Access
Products. The FASTLINE 2000 mSDSL supports synchronous, full duplex
transmission over one unconditioned twisted pair (2-wires) and provides
high-speed connectivity for Frame Relay, Voice, Internet Access,
Wireless backbone, Intranet, Campus and ATM networks.
Web Hosting/Video-on-Demand and pay-per-view movies competition to
support high bandwidth Internet services is putting pressure on ISPs to
make higher speed Internet access connections available at the local
loop. The FASTLINE 2000 mSDSL modem (with Voice/Data module) is perfect
for this application, allowing the ISP to supply a remote Point of
Presence with a voice/fax/2Mbps data link, all over a single,
cost-effective 2-wire leased line. FASTLINE provides various line rates
from 128 Kbps to 2.3 Mbps and can transmit voice and data over a
distance exceeding 5.4 miles.
According to Jacques Moisset, President of CXR, S.A., "While this
product can be sold to our traditional telcom customers such as Bell
Atlantic, SBC, GTE and France Telecom among many others, it more
importantly can be sold for the first time to the larger commercial end
user market such as private corporations, banks, government agencies,
campuses and many more such customers. We are planning a whole new
North American distribution channel as well as new distribution
channels elsewhere in Asia, including China."
