ADTRAN Announces Total Reach ADSL.Business Editors & Technology Writers DSLcon Spring 2001 Booth No. 511 HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 11, 2001 ADSL Loop Extender ADSL speeds are limited by the distance from the central office or DSLAM. An ADSL loop extender (also known as an ADSL repeater) is a device that the telephone company can place midway between the subscriber and the central office to extend the distance and increase the channel Sharply Improves ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line Success ADTRAN, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADTN ADTN Administrative Data Transmission Network ADTN Administrative Data Telecommunications Network ), the leader in DSL deployment equipment, introduces Total Reach(R) ADSL, the latest implementation of its Total Reach loop technology. The ADSL Loop Extender (ALE) substantially reduces the number of challenging installations or chronic failures of ADSL circuits. While ADSL can be successfully deployed in many cases, a percentage of circuits experience problems caused by bridged taps, noise, or excessive cable lengths. With ALE, service providers will be able to meet the deployment objectives for qualified ADSL subscribers. "ADTRAN has always focused our engineering efforts on cost-effective solutions that address all subscriber access loops, including the percentage that are traditionally equipment- and labor-intensive," said Jay Wilson, Director, Product Management - Loop Technologies of ADTRAN's Carrier Networks Division. "Total Reach ADSL represents ADTRAN's commitment to addressing the tough problems associated with DSL service delivery." The ALE overcomes the need for line conditioning and repetitive truck rolls by transmitting ADSL signals using TC-PAM TC-PAM Trellis Coded Pulse Amplitude Modulation modulation techniques to overcome challenging loop conditions. A spectrally friendly technology, ALE allows ADSL services to co-exist with T1, HDSL See DSL. HDSL - High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line , and other repeatered services without degradation. ALE reduces or eliminates costs associated with multiple repair or re-engineering efforts with a simple, one-time installation. The ALE is compatible with DMT-based ADSL equipment. The ALE configuration consists of a central office access card housed in a Total Access(R) 3000 form factor and a Network Interface Device at the customer premises. The ALE is currently in field trials with several major service providers. ADTRAN will demonstrate its ALE solution in Booth No. 511 at DSLcon Denver, Colorado Convention Center The Colorado Convention Center is a multi-purpose convention center in downtown Denver, Colorado which recently underwent a major expansion.
