At least PAIR tries to get their stock moving... Tuesday October 27, 2:24 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release PairGain Announces Plans for Early G.lite Compliance of Avidia System and Megabit Modems DSL Leader Offers Key Contributions in Development of Specification; Prepares to Ship Avidia System To Enable Mass Market Deployment of Consumer ADSL Services TUSTIN, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 1998-- PairGain(R) Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: PAIR - news) today announced that its Avidia(TM) System and Megabit Modems(TM) will be in compliance with the industry's new G.lite standard and has plans to participate with other vendors to accelerate interoperability testing. The International Telecommunications Union's (ITU) determination of G.992.2 Splitterless Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line Transceivers, a new standard also known as G.lite, will enable mass market deployment of consumer ADSL services. The determination occurred last week at the ITU-T Study Group 15 meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. The ITU's adoption of G.lite sets a common, international standard that will speed the mass market deployment of consumer ADSL services. PairGain's Avidia System and Megabit Modems are targeted at large volume markets with industry-leading density, management and price/performance features. ''PairGain's close involvement in the development of the G.lite standard focused on accelerating time-to-market by minimizing unnecessary modifications to the existing full-rate DMT ADSL standard, allowing vendors to build on existing interoperability work. PairGain's industry-leading Falcon DMT ADSL solution is poised to provide early support of interoperable G.lite,'' said George Zimmerman, PairGain's chief scientist. biz.yahoo.com
