(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), a leading global supplier of fiber optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber , network equipment, software and integration services for broadband, multiservice networks, today released the Avidia 6000, the latest addition to the company's industry-leading line of next-generation DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary Access Multiplexer (DSLAMs). The 17-slot Avidia 6000 completes ADC's superior line of scalable central office and MTU/MDU DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) A central office (CO) device for ADSL service that intermixes voice traffic and DSL traffic onto a customer's DSL line. It also separates incoming phone and data signals and directs them onto the appropriate carrier's network. See DSL. solutions, which also includes the 21-slot Avidia 8000 and the five-slot Avidia 3000. The Avidia 6000, along with all of ADC's advanced DSL broadband solutions, will be on display in ADC's booth No. C16/1 in Hall 17 at CeBIT 2001, March 22-28 in Hannover, Germany and booth No. B16 in the Green Pavilion at Telexpo 2001, March 20-23 2001, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Avidia 6000 chassis is ideal for international installations where 19-inch equipment racks are the de facto [Latin, In fact.] In fact, in deed, actually. This phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of affairs that must be accepted for all practical purposes, but is illegal or illegitimate. industry standard. It enables carriers to deliver integrated voice, video and data services effectively through the widest variety of subscriber and network interfaces available. The Avidia 6000 currently supports a wide array of DSL flavors including IDSL See DSL. , cell-based single-pair DSL (SDSL See DSL. SDSL - Single-line Digital Subscriber Line ), frame-based SDSL, G.lite discrete multitone ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line and E1 subscriber interfaces. It is presently expected that G.shdsl, or two-wire, standards-based symmetric DSL, will be added to this impressive list of subscriber interfaces in the second quarter of this year. "The Avidia 6000 further demonstrates ADC's commitment to offer all carriers the most efficient way to profitably deploy advanced services with the latest technology," said Ivan Gorgeon, vice president marketing for ADC's Wireline Systems Division. "ADC customers now have the selection they need to attack market opportunities aggressively with a best-in-class DSLAM solution that fits their network and maximizes their budget." The Avidia 6000 provides intermixed support of all subscriber interfaces in any combination through 336 total ports. The chassis includes OC3/STM-1, DS1/E1 and DS3 network interfaces to satisfy the widest variety of network requirements worldwide. Like all Avidia platforms, the Avidia 6000 is built on a distributed ATM fabric, which ensures the quality of service (QoS) required for carriers to deliver advanced services, such as voice over DSL, virtual private networks and video on demand. The Avidia 6000 is both CE and NEBS Level 3 compliant, giving global carriers the highest level of assurance of product safety and operability Operability is the ability to keep a system in a functioning and operating condition. In a computing systems environment with multiple systems this includes the ability of products, systems and business processes to work together to accomplish a common task such as finding and . The Avidia 6000 is an integral part of a fully managed DSLAM solution that includes 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. , ADC's comprehensive Element Management System (EMS) software. StarGazer simplifies network management and maintenance by enabling carriers to remotely view and manage all ADC devices connected to any Avidia chassis. Carriers taking advantage of Avidia's subtending capability get extended value from StarGazer, which can manage all subtended chassis through a single management interface. The Avidia 6000 currently is being deployed by alternative service provider Global Village Telecom of Brazil to provide traditional and broadband services to both residential and business subscribers. The Avidia 6000 is available now with pricing subject to volume and configuration. About ADC ADC is The Broadband Company(TM).
