Schlep, here are two references to the points you made in reverse order. The first is on Westell involvement with Lucent and the 5ESS switches and the second is on BT where they were working with Fujitsu. I don't know about the current state of the relationship but DR.TECH has alluded to a Lucent announcement to occur sometime in June. westell.com __________________________________________________________________ 1. PRESS RELEASE : MARCH 5, 1998 Lucent Technologies and Westell Technologies Will Meet ADSL Encoding Scheme Expected To Be Set As Industry Standard Discrete Multitone Solution to be Available for Lucent 5ESS®-2000 Switches AURORA, IL.—Lucent Technologies and Westell Technologies (NSDQ: WSTL) plan to offer telecommunications service providers Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) capabilities that are based on technology an international consortium has said will be the industry standard. Late in 1998, Lucent and Westell plan to offer to service providers the hardware and software solution integrated into Lucent's 5ESS®-2000 Switch. When the solution is implemented, Lucent's 5ESS switch will support ADSL services in addition to the wireline and wireless voice and data services it supports today. The solution is based on Discrete Multitone (DMT) line coding with an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network interface. The platform on the 5ESS switch will allow service providers to use existing phone lines to offer their residential and business customers ADSL services such as access to the Internet at speeds nearly 30 times faster than today's fastest modems. A working group within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in February named the DMT with ATM platform as the encoding scheme standard for ADSL. Lucent and Westell are members of the ITU, which is in the process of completing all of the specifications for ADSL. Lucent and Westell will upgrade their basic DMT with ATM platform when the ITU sets final specifications. "The relationship between our two companies will bring lightning-fast data services to telecom providers more quickly and efficiently than was thought possible only a few months ago," said Frank D'Amelio, Lucent's vice president of switching and access product management and marketing. "The capability will exist this year to provide ADSL features on the more than 100 million lines currently served by the 5ESS Switch."..... ________________________________________________________________ 2.
