"Through patented innovative technologies, this G.Lite solution can save 80% of the cost of passive components of the customer premises equipment." Could this be the patent they are referring to? Patent Excerpt: 164.195.100.11 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a method and system which combines decision feedback equalization and forward error correction to improve performance in point-to-multipoint digital transmission systems. Many channels used for digital data transmission subject the received signal to a variety of sources of degradation, including Guassian noise, time dispersion, and impulse noise. A twisted pair used for digital subscriber loops is a particularly severe example of such a channel, where non-stationary noise sources such as narrowband interference (induced by AM radio, amateur radio) and periodic impulse noise (e.g., due to light dimmers) can also be a problem. To achieve the desired performance, powerful signal processing techniques are required to recover the data. Two particular techniques that have found widespread use is decision feedback equalization and forward error correction (FEC). Very interesting indeed! I know I am grasping at straws, but it keeps my mind off the stock price. Perry P.

Perry P. may I suggest you simply e-mail AWRE & ST Micro and ask them if these products use AWRE technology? Also, AWRE has posted on their website comments about different bit rates for g.lite and how it relates to things such as distance, loop conditions and other things. Myself, I'm not clear as to what patent you're referring to. If today AWRE doesn't say they are receiving revenue from STMicro I'll consider ST as just a license holder and an inactive customer of AWRE's. Not that that is bad since they've never really appeared to be anything other than an ALA partner. Should we hear STMicro is in fact an active customer and paying royalties to AWRE...then we won't need too much rocket fuel for a good launch. Best regards, Scrapps
