Hal BEL's DMT plans.. "This data network complements the high speed, local loop services the Bell Atlantic telephone companies will be rolling out in 1998 and 1999 using asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) technology," said Verge. "We anticipate many of the 2,000 Internet service providers with East Coast customers will be very interested in using capabilities provided by Bell Atlantic's new data network, just as they have been interested in high speed ADSL." In fact, Bell Atlantic was the first regional Bell carrier to file with Federal regulators for long distance data relief under section 706 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which would enable the company to smoothly integrate its ADSL services and broadband metropolitan area networks with its next-generation data network. The Bell Atlantic telephone companies will begin commercial deployment of ADSL services later this year. These ADSL services will enable consumers to access the Internet at speeds up to 250 times faster than today's most commonly used modems. In 1999 , the Bell Atlantic companies will deploy ADSL services based on universal specifications. ba.com Early 99 or late 99??? It doesn't make sense to wire the CO's with cap equip. to change months later to DMT Notes from the fact sheet The only vendors to be names later are an ATM vendors and IP router vendor..Any guess as who they may be?? ATM vendor still to be named. -- ATM will provide communications fabric to drive scale economies and deliver quality of service capabilities over backbone network. SONET/WDM Transport Lucent Technologies -- SONET provides highly resilient transmission capability. Use of WDM (wave division multiplexing) will enable capacity expansion to keep pace with demand growth. Internet Protocol Packet Router vendor still to be named. -- Router will collect, transport and manage IP-based services and applications. Digital Voice Switch (5ESS*) Lucent Technologies -- Switch will collect circuit-switched voice signals for translation into ATM-based data packets.
