ALERT !! :Lucent Taps Aware's DSL Lite Technology to Deliver First Chip Set for High-Speed Internet Access to the PC Business Wire - May 06, 1998 13:34 %AWARE AWRE %MASSACHUSETTS %COMED %COMPUTERS %ELECTRONICS V%BW P%BW -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 1998--Aware, Inc. (NASDAQ:AWRE), a worldwide leader in xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technology for high-speed Internet access, today announced that its DSL Lite technology and software are featured in Lucent's DSP 1690 WildWire(tm) chip set. This solution accelerates the deployment of high-speed Internet access to the home. Lucent's DSP 1690 WildWire(tm) chip set brings together a number of key elements: Aware's DSL Lite technology, Lucent's experience in dial-up V.90 modems and Lucent's state-of-the-art controllerless modem technology. Aware's DSL-Lite DMT (discrete multitone) technology and software eliminates the need for a voice-data splitter on the customer's side of the connection. This means a service provider can offer DSL technology to consumers without having to send a technician to customers' homes to install new wiring and a splitter. Michael Tzannes, president and chief executive officer of Aware, noted: "Aware is pleased to be working with Lucent Microelectronics, one of the leaders in the PC modem chipset industry, to meet the need for high-speed Internet access. With both DSL Lite and 56-Kbps(a) speeds in a single chip set, users will be able to increase their Internet access speeds as service providers enhance their offerings." "Lucent and Aware are committed to being first to market with a chip set that provides 56-Kbps and ADSL speeds at a consumer price point," added Bob Rango, general manager of market development for Lucent's Microelectronics Group. Aware's DSL Lite, a variant of ADSL technology, is designed for easy, low-cost deployment in the home and requires no special equipment or wiring. Using existing phone lines and ordinary phone jacks, DSL Lite modems are as easy to use as traditional analog modems, but deliver transmission speeds more than 27 times faster than today's 56-Kbps modems. Lucent's DSP 1690 WildWire(tm) chipset, a three-chip solution targeted for use in personal computers and stand-alone modems, integrates Aware's splitterless DSL Lite technology and software and will allow PC users to access the Internet regardless of whether they have traditional analog or ADSL service. Aware and Lucent are members of the Universal ADSL Working Group (UAWG), which is a consortium of leading companies in the personal computer, telecommunications, and networking industries aimed at accelerating the adoption and availability of high-speed digital Internet access for the mass market.
