Seems to me that Alcatel is doing fine with their silicon. I have heard from both Globespan and ADI bulls that each will get Alcatel's ADSL business but do not believe it to be true. From XDSL News. ALCATEL'S NEW OCTAL ADSL CENTRAL OFFICE CHIPSET DELIVERS ONE WATT PER LINE INCLUDING LINE DRIVERS Saw the chipset this week at Comnet. Not sure when we'll see it in products. Globespan I think does supply the SHDSL chipsets to Alcatel but that's it in term of outside silicon suppliers as far as I know.

Anyone have information on these other products from Aware? Other than their web-site I mean. I'm curious as to who their customers are. "WSQ by Aware is the industry’s highest performing implementation of the FBI’s Wavelet Scalar Quantization (WSQ) digital fingerprint compression algorithm. WSQ is a wavelet transform-based compression standard, developed by the FBI for compression of digital fingerprint images. Widely used around the world, WSQ by Aware is specifically designed for the compression and management of high-resolution, grayscale fingerprint images. As the first officially certified WSQ vendor, Aware guarantees FBI compliance with every WSQ license. Aware provides WSQ and other IAFIS compliant software solutions to a diverse customer base, including major system integrators, livescan and AFIS vendors, as well as local, state, and federal government agencies." ___________________________________________________________ "NISTPack is a complete suite of software development tools that enables the user to generate, view, edit and print ANSI/NIST and FBI compliant fingerprint, mug shot and demographic data files and electronic transactions. NISTPack enables law enforcement agencies, systems integrators, and vendors of fingerprint and mug shot systems to easily comply with the ANSI/NIST standard: "Data Format For The Interchange Of Fingerprint, Facial, and Scar/Mark/Tattoo Information," and the FBI’s implementation of it: "Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specification." ____________________________________________________________ "CJIS Web CJIS Web is designed to provide a simple yet flexible set of tools for Intranet and Web developers that must develop custom Intranet solutions for the viewing of digital fingerprint and mug shot images, scanned documents and demographic text data. The archived data can be stored as separate entities in a relational database or as NIST files (see NISTPack). CJIS Web can handle the data either way. It provides a secure, browser based, front end to a remote database. CJIS Web employs all of Aware’s standard compliant API’s (NISTPack, WSQ and AccuPrint) in a Web server/browser architecture. A software standard called CORBA is used to abstract the database. Data is exchanged between the CORBA client (on the Web server) and the CORBA server (on the database machine) through an IDL." ____________________________________________________________ " Accuface by Aware is a specialized facial image compression library designed for developers of identification systems that must store or electronically transmit high-quality facial images under conditions of limited bandwidth or limited storage capacity. It implements a wavelet compression algorithm that is designed specifically to maximize the compression ratio of facial images while maintaining superior image quality. AccuFace maintains excellent image quality at very high compression ratios and generates file sizes that are not achievable with the JPEG algorithm." ____________________________________________________________ "AccuPress Photoshop Provides Adobe Photoshop users with the best available compression efficiency at high ratios for 8 bit gray scale and 24 bit color images. Content providers now have an alternative to JPEG that provides better looking images in smaller files with greater control over the compression process." ____________________________________________________________ "AccuPress for Multimedia Provides the best available compression efficiency at high ratios for 8 bit gray scale and 24 bit color images. Content providers now have an alternative to JPEG that provides better looking images in smaller files with greater control over the compression process." ____________________________________________________________ "Seispact is a specialty compression package designed specifically for the compression of two-dimensional gathers of seismic data. SeisPact is currently being used to compress seismic data on board seismic acquisition vessels for transmission over expensive satellite links to a shore based processing center." ____________________________________________________________ "MotionWavelets is a software video codec that delivers real-time, high quality video compression to the PC-based digital video user. Powered by a wavelet-based compression engine optimized for MMX processors, MotionWavelets compresses 640x480, 30 frames per second video with VHS quality, in real time on a PII/450MHz PC. MotionWavelets will compress greater than 60 fps 320x240 on any P/MMX 200MHz PC or above." ____________________________________________________________ "Aware's MotionWavelets601 Video Decoder is designed to enhance applications that incorporate video capture cards embedded with an Analog Devices ADV601 wavelet-based video compression ASIC. It provides a fast and flexible, software-only solution for the decompression and display of ADV601 compressed video data. Aware's MotionWavelets601 video decoder is available as a Microsoft Video For Windows installable codec or as an application programming interface (API) for software developers." ____________________________________________________________ "AccuPress Provides the most efficient image compression solution available for pan-chromatic and full color digital imagery. By efficiently storing orthophotos in a flexible file format, AccuPress enables remote sensing and GIS applications previously not possible due to the limitations of bandwidth and storage media."

``The AD8019 establishes a new benchmark for high-performance xDSL CPE line drivers that reinforces ADI's market leadership position'' said Marco Baratta, product manager xDSL CPE line drivers, Analog Devices. ``ADI's ongoing ability to exceed the performance requirements of the xDSL CPE modem market, while meeting cost and high-volume delivery demands, has established ADI's line drivers as the defacto standard--the AD8019 continues that tradition.'' xdsl.com ____________________________________________________________ How many flavors of xDSL are these products used in?
