(NASDAQ:AWRE - news), the source for DSL intellectual property, today introduced the latest product in its Veritas product line, the Veritas 4000. The 4000 is Aware's most advanced platform for developing, testing, and manufacturing ADSL products. The Veritas 4000 is a compact, four-port central office emulator designed specifically for the manufacturing environment, with the capacity to test four customer premise modems simultaneously. It also has applications in product development, and interoperability testing, as well as sales and tradeshow demonstrations. ``The Veritas 4000 is Aware's fourth generation of field-proven ADSL test systems, which have been used to develop and test over 70% of the DSL chipsets deployed today,'' said Peter LeBlanc, vice president of marketing for Aware. ``Its four ports and advanced functional tests make it particularly well-suited for the manufacturing environment, where production throughput is crucial.'' The compact design of the Veritas 4000, along with its OC-3 and PC-based serial management interfaces, makes it an ideal manufacturing test solution. The Veritas 4000 is based on the fully programmable, multi-mode CopperHead(TM) ADSL chipset from Analog Devices, which complies with ANSI T1.413 and ITU G.992.1, and G.992.2 ADSL standards. Each product in the Veritas line of test and development systems is designed to help system developers evaluate and build standard-compliant, DSL based products and services, as well as implement quality control measures in the manufacturing process. The Veritas992 contains both central office and remote terminal ADSL transceiver modules, enabling efficient testing of either CO or RT ADSL products. The Veritas 2000 is a test system with two standard-compliant central office ports for testing and analyzing remote terminal ADSL products. For a demonstration of the Veritas 4000, visit Aware at DSLcon `00 Fall in Booth # 341 at the World Trade Center in Boston, Massachusetts from September 19 - 21.
