Alcatel's DynaMiTe ADSL Chipset is the Basis for Interoperability in G.lite and G.dmt Standards; DynaMiTe Chipset is the Most Interoperable On the Market.ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1999-- Alcatel's (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :ALA) world leading DynaMiTe ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line chipset interoperates with more systems than that of any other vendor. Already the most widely deployed chipset in the world in central office applications, with over 52% of the US market(1), DynaMiTe offers CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment manufacturers the widest interoperability in both G.lite and G.dmt modes. Proof of DynaMiTe's pre-eminence can be found on the ADSL Forum's G.lite Interoperability Showcase stand at SuperComm 99 in Atlanta. In a live demo at the show, the Alcatel DynaMiTe CPE reference design, as delivered in the DynaMiTe development kit, interoperates with all major vendors, giving DynaMiTe customers access to the largest CO installed base in the world. "We have worked hard to support our customers and our own hardware through the interoperability testing process for G.lite in order to guarantee the standards compliance that is vital to the further growth of this market," said Dave Long, Strategic Marketing Manager, Alcatel Microelectronics. "DynaMiTe led the market in adoption of DMT technology for ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. , ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute, Sophia Antipolis technical park, Nice, France, www.etsi.org) A non-profit membership organization founded in 1988, dedicated to standardizing information and communication technologies (ICT) throughout Europe. and ITU (International Telecommunication Union, Geneva, Switzerland, www.itu.ch) A telecommunications standards body that is under the auspices of the United Nations. Comprising more than 185 member countries, the ITU sets standards for global telecom networks. standards. We have now proven once again that DynaMiTe is the basis for ADSL interoperability from residential and SOHO Soho (sōhō`, sə–), district of Westminster, London, England, known for its continental restaurants. Once a fashionable quarter, it became popular among writers and artists in the 19th cent. to Central Office equipment in all standards." Alcatel's G.lite implementation is not only interoperable with the widest range of CO and CPE products, but this goal has been achieved without compromising the high degree of performance, reach and robustness that has secured DynaMiTe's position as the world's leading ADSL chipset, recognized by premier manufacturers and operators across the world. About DynaMiTe Alcatel's DynaMiTe ADSL chipset has been installed by the majority carriers in the US and also has wide usage in the Customer Premises Equipment See CPE. (CPE) market with clients including Compaq, Flowpoint, Efficient, Zyxel, Cayman Systems, GVC, Teles and many others. DynaMiTe is also widely deployed in the test systems market. DynaMiTe is multistandard compliant and features: -- ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, G.992.1 (G.dmt), G.992.2 (G.lite), ADSL over ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. -- Direct PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS.
