ADTRAN's Latest ISDN DLC Extends the Local Loop And Eliminates Local Powering of Remote Units.HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 11, 1998-- Solution reduces the need for costly signal repeaters and eliminates local powering of remote units ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ADTN ADTN Administrative Data Transmission Network ADTN Administrative Data Telecommunications Network ) (www.adtran.com) today announced the latest addition to its BR1/10 family of Repeaterless ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. extension equipment, the HLIU. The BR1/10 mini-Digital Loop Carrier system provides fast and cost-efficient deployment of up to 10 Basic Rate ISDN circuits using HDSL See DSL. HDSL - High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line over existing copper facilities. Incorporating ADTRAN HDSL, the HLIU makes it easier to extend the reach of digital services such as ISDN to businesses and subscribers in outlying Customer Service Areas (CSAs), since signals can be carried a full 12,000 feet without the use of repeaters. When coupled with the BR1/10, the HLIU greatly reduces the turn-up-time and cost associated with ISDN extension by utilizing the line power generated from the central office HDSL unit. This eliminates the manpower and equipment costs associated with powering the remote unit at its location. The ADTRAN BR1/10 is a compact unit that allows telcos to extend ISDN services without costly investments in new switching systems. As compared to traditional channel banks and DLCs, the BR1/10 increases customer density by 25 percent, since it expands the number of ISDN circuits that can be transported on a single T1 or HDSL circuit from eight to ten. According to Mike Costanza, ADTRAN product manager, "The ADTRAN BR1/10 combined with the HLIU is the industry's most cost-efficient way to rapidly deploy ISDN-BRI ISDN-BRI Integrated Services Digital Network-Basic Rate Interface services. Turn up time is greatly reduced since the unit is line powered and therefore, doesn't require a local power source. Cost efficiency is also realized as carriers can multiplex more customers on to a T1 circuit." The ADTRAN HDSL BR1/10, listing for $1,650, and the HLIU, listing for $836, are available today. The HLIU, a line interface card, is field upgradeable.
