Advanced Fibre Communications Announces Major Developments for Chinese Markets At PT/EXPO COMM in Beijing (Booth #6306) October 15, 1998 12:22 PM PETALUMA, Calif., Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Fibre Communications(R), Inc. (AFC) AFCI demonstrating its continuing commitment to the Chinese telecom market, announced today its attendance at the October 27, 1998 PT/EXPO COMM tradeshow at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing. Exhibiting in Booth #6306, AFC will feature several important product developments that specifically address the needs of this and other growing international markets. These developments include a new V5.2 interface, ISDN, ADSL, and Spread Spectrum Radio transport solutions. Exhibiting its evolving international narrowband capabilities, AFC will be announcing its V5.2 solution and ISDN. AFC's V5.2 interface recently passed certification tests for PSTN services at Shanghai Telephone Office (STO). Its ISDN solution has also successfully passed field-trial tests using video conferencing applications sponsored by Eli Lilly Asia, Inc. Pending final lab test completion and STO approval, AFC's ISDN solution will be ready for implementation throughout STO's entire service area. Demonstrating its continuing leadership in evolving the traditional narrowband access network to broadband, AFC will provide a live demonstration of its integrated ADSL solution. This capability -- unique to the UMC 1000 -- replaces a traditional DSLAM in many circumstances, providing the telco a graceful and cost effective path to broadband service delivery. AFC will also be demonstrating its Spread Spectrum Radio (SSR) transport solution, which provides reliable, secure radio transport where traditional cabling is either too expensive or too time consuming to install. SSR makes it possible to provide telephone service to areas previously considered inaccessible. To fully support the growing demand in China for its access products, AFC has office locations in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong. Staffed by senior engineering and sales people, these offices enable AFC to deliver faster, more focused product support and technical know-how to China's regional telcos.
