(2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. (Nasdaq:ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform , www.adc.com), will showcase its portfolio of fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP (Fiber To The Premises) The installation of optical fiber from the carrier directly into the home or office. Also called "fiber to the home" (FTTH). See PON and FTTC. See also FTP. ), wireless coverage and capacity, data infrastructure solutions and systems integration services at SUPERCOMM 2004 (Booth Nos. 26000, 14111 and 11142) in Chicago, June 22 - 24. The company's latest offerings enable wireline, wireless, cable, and enterprise networks to operate more efficiently while deploying new services to their end users. At SUPERCOMM 2004, ADC is emphasizing services delivery to help public and private network customers create revenue streams and enhance network reliability. ADC products enable business services, residential FTTP services, enterprise services and applications, wireless services, and multiple system operator services A variety of telephone services that require human intervention, including person-to-person calls, collect calls, credit card billing and directory and dialing assistance. Such services are performed by LECs, IXCs and alternative operator services (AOS), organizations that are used by . The company also provides the systems integration services operators need to operate efficiently and effectively while deploying equipment and upgrading existing facilities. "ADC has a completely new look at this year's SUPERCOMM," said Robert E. Switz, president and chief executive officer for ADC. "We have a new position in the market place, as the leader in global network infrastructure solutions, and with our acquisition of KRONE, we have new products to showcase to our customers as well. Our 'Tough Questions? Smart Answers.' theme continues to resonate among our customers as we help them create network solutions designed to enable the delivery of profitable services." Infrastructure Solutions The ADC OmniReach(TM) portfolio of FTTP infrastructure solutions offers telecommunications service providers flexibility in managing their FTTP equipment, including the expensive central office-based electronics, used to transmit the signals to individual homes. Service providers can leverage their investment and generate revenue through the delivery of triple play services with OmniReach Fiber Distribution Terminals, Fiber Access Terminals, Passive Optical Splitter Modules, and Wavelength Division Multiplexer Modules. ADC's new Midspan Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Controller provides a flexible way to power IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. devices and other applications over a local area network. The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3af-compliant power source ensures reliability of service for Ethernet devices such as IP telephones, Wi-Fi access points, security cameras and other network components requiring 12.95 watts or less. It eliminates the need for installation of local power at the device, saving time and money. ADC's new CopperTen(TM) system is the world's first augmented Category 6 structured cabling Structured Cabling is defined as building or campus telecommunications cabling infrastructure that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems. system with the necessary characteristics to enable 10-Gigabit per second Ethernet transmission over a full 100 meters. Typical Category 6 cabling systems are hindered by the technical combination of insertion loss The amount of loss attributed to a particular device being used in (inserted into) the system. For example, a circuit added to filter out unwanted frequencies may reduce the output current by some amount. See injection loss. and alien crosstalk that greatly disrupts transmission and high-speed data communications. The CopperTen system incorporates patent-pending design and manufacturing processes that enable the products to overcome these challenges using unshielded twisted pair See twisted pair. (hardware) unshielded twisted pair - (UTP) Normal telephone wire (in the USA). It may be used for computer to computer communications, e.g. using a version of Ethernet or localtalk. It is much cheaper than standard "full-spec" Ethernet cable. (UTP UTP (uridine triphosphate): see uracil. (Unshielded Twisted Pair) See twisted pair. UTP - unshielded twisted pair ) cable, the most prolific type of enterprise network cabling in the world. The company's StarGazer stargazer, common name for any of several species of marine fishes of the family Uranoscopidae, found in southern waters, and having the mouth, nostrils, and eyes set high in the head. Stargazers lie buried in the sand, waiting for their prey of small crustaceans. (R) element management system (EMS) will also be demonstrated at SUPERCOMM. StarGazer is an extensible platform for managing all operational capabilities of intelligent broadband network elements. StarGazer eases network expansion through the use of standard computing equipment, scalability, and usability. As an "integrated EMS," StarGazer helps carriers save time and money by reducing the number of host computers needed to manage multiple products. In addition to the infrastructure solutions showcased at its booth in McCormick Center's South Hall, ADC's mobile exhibit trailer will also be on display in the North Hall, Booth No. 14111. At the mobile exhibit, ADC will feature its LoopStar span-powered Wi-Fi solution, which includes a hardened access point carriers can use to deliver Wi-Fi hotspots in virtually any location. ADC infrastructure solutions are also showcased in the Isocore IP Optical Pavilion booth 11142. ADC is the official fiber and Ethernet infrastructure supplier to Isocore at SUPERCOMM 2004. The IP-Optical Pavilion demonstrates the advanced state of Internet services and the underlying optical technologies to support those services and to push the acceptance of various technologies currently being standardized. This first-of-a-kind equipment interoperability demo features IP and DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing based network elements from the world's leading suppliers including Alcatel, Avici Systems, Chiaro Networks, CIENA Corporation, Cisco Systems, Data Connection, Extreme Networks, Fujitsu Laboratories, Juniper Networks, Marconi, NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98).

Cables that TIA set standards for include: EIA/TIA-568A and EIA/TIA-568B category three, four and five cable. board of directors, will speak at the USTA USTA United States Tennis Association USTA United States Telecom Association USTA United States Trotting Association USTA United States Telephone Association USTA United States Twirling Association USTA United States Trademark Association dinner. The presentation, "Smart Answers About Growth," is focused on the Six Growth Levers that carriers and enterprises can implement to grow revenues. ADC will also host two special invitation symposiums during the exposition in the company's hospitality area near the Press Center in McCormick Center. Each symposium features a brief presentation about a specific technology including FTTP on Tuesday June 22 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet on Thursday, June 24. A special session on these combined topics will be held for financial analysts on Wednesday June 23 at 4:00pm.
