(CT) Lucent, BellSouth To Test ADSL At University Of Miami 10/26/98 19:14 The University of Miami, BellSouth [BLS] of Atlanta and Lucent Technologies [LU] of Murray Hill, N.J., announced at Networld + Interop in Atlanta that they are planning a six-month trial of asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) technology at the University of Miami. The trial will begin in December, taking place at the University of Miami's Coral Gables campus. BellSouth's network will be used to provide the ADSL service, along with Lucent ADSL equipment. The trial will focus on the interoperability of different vendors' ADSL equipment with Lucent's 5ESS AnyMedia Switches. The goal is to provide "plug-and-play" installation of ADSL modems for end users, thus eliminating the time and expense associated with third-party installations. The trial will have three phases; each of which will provide an opportunity to test different levels of ADSL service and a variety of ADSL equipment. The first phase will focus on full-rate ADSL, which delivers up to 8 Mbps of bandwidth to the user. The second and third phases will focus on mass-market ADSL, or "ADSL Lite," which delivers speeds up to 1.5 Mbps and targets consumer and small business users. "In the near future, an educational environment must not be limited to the campus infrastructure," said Lewis Temares, vice president of information technology at the University of Miami. "Virtual private networks will link students, on and off campus, to university data resources and corporate resources, as well as the Internet. Students will be able to participate in 'virtual classrooms' across the world. This trial puts the University of Miami -- and more importantly, our students -- at the forefront of reaping the benefits of the information revolution." The trial will test the interoperability of a number of vendors' external and internal modems with BellSouth's network and Lucent's 5ESS switches. Modems supplied by 3Com Corp. [COMS] of Santa Clara, Calif., will be the first to be tested. (Doug Broad, Lucent Technologies, 908-559-7520.)

Hi s, the only info I have on the HDSL in S. America is that they sold some small amounts to an unnamed customer. Orckit will be in Brazil early November for Expo Comm Brazil, maybe we will get a press release or something then.
