1/27/98 Newsbytes (Pg. Unavail. Online) 1998 WL 5029028 Newsbytes News Network (c) Copyright 1998 Newsbytes News Network, LLC. All rights reserved. Tuesday, January 27, 1998 PairGain DSL Technology Rolled Out In Russia Sylvia Dennis, Newsbytes BADEN, SWITZERLAND, 1998 JAN 27 (NB). PairGain Technologies, the Tustin, California-based digital subscriber line (DSL) technology company, has started rolling out its technology into Eastern Europe, notably into Russia, where the DSL systems have been optimized for the Russian telecoms marketplace. This is the first time that DSL technologies have been actively promoted into Eastern Europe, a region not exactly noted for its superb telecoms infrastructure, Newsbytes notes. The past few years, however, have seen massive investment in new telecoms infrastructure in the region, meaning that, at long last, speeds beyond 64,000 bits per second (bps) in many city areas across standard copper pairs, and telcos can use the technology on their own lines to squeeze maximum bandwidth out of their circuits. Peter Schmid, PairGain's vice president for the EMEA region, said that delivery of increased bandwidth is a major issue for telcos and private network operators in the Eastern European marketplace. "Homologation of the PairGain product range enables us to offer a cost-effective system that provides high speed communications over the existing network of unconditioned copper telephone lines in Russia," he said. PairGain's main claim to fame in the US to date, Newsbytes notes, has been with US West, which has just selected PairGain's EtherPhone products to deliver a new package of integrated data services that will allow the telco's business and residential customers get fast and reliable access to the Internet over a standard telephone line. The key to the PairGain DSL technology is that it lets customers always stay connected to the Internet or other data networks over a dedicated section of bandwidth on their existing phone line, with no dial-in required. The company's EtherPhone product line consists of several central office and subscriber end devices that run at up to 704,000 bits per second in both directions, alongside a standard analog voice call.
