Alcatel's Asia Pacific President, Ron Spithill, "Telstra will benefit from a solution which is extremely integrated, flexible, modular and future safe. With Alcatel's Litespan-1540 a vast majority of Narrowband subscriber services (switched and data) are supported and combined in the same shelf with the most advanced ADSL technology for ultra fast Internet access See how to access the Internet. . This basically means that the operator can deliver any service ranging from narrowband to broadband, using one single product and tailor the investment to the customers' demand evolution. The network solutions that ISPs, carriers and enterprises choose today will open up a world of multimedia applications. Alcatel will continue to lead the world in providing solutions that improve the way we work, live and play". Note Litespan-1540 Alcatel's Litespan-1540 is a multiservice solution that simultaneously supports a whole range of services, including voice, video, data, Internet and transport services The collective functions of layers 1 through 4 of the OSI model. . It is suitable for immediate deployment, enabling rapid provision of services.

This enables it to adapt easily to different topologies and will support tomorrow's multimedia super-information highways. Litespan-1540 (called CMux by Telstra) will supersede To obliterate, replace, make void, or useless. Supersede means to take the place of, as by reason of superior worth or right. A recently enacted statute that repeals an older law is said to supersede the prior legislation. the Remote Integrated Multiplexers (RIM), of which Alcatel has supplied over 1 million lines to Telstra. Alcatel's Litespan-1540 is being delivered worldwide and has been tested or selected for major projects. Just to name a few, in Japan, Philippines, China, India, Singapore, Taiwan, UK, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Middle East. Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (communications, protocol) Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line - (ADSL, or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop) A form of Digital Subscriber Line in which the bandwidth available for downstream connection is significantly larger then for upstream. (ADSL) ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) transforms an operator's existing copper twisted pair A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable (Alexander Graham Bell invented this and was awarded a patent for it in 1881). investment into a multimedia broadband distribution system. The Alcatel ADSL system can support high speed data, while delivering simultaneous basic telephony services. It is offered over the Multi-standard-compliant (T1.413, G.Lite, G.DMT See DSL. ) Alcatel ASAM ASAM American Society of Addiction Medicine ASAM Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile ASAM Advanced Services Access Manager ASAM ATM Subscriber Access Multiplexer (Alcatel) ASAM Association for Solidarity with Asylum Seekers and Migrants (ADSL Subscriber Access Multiplexer) and advanced range of Alcatel ADSL modems. An active contributor to the various standards bodies creating ADSL standards, Alcatel continues to work to ensure mass-market availability of high-speed Internet access based on a single, standardised ADSL technology. Operators and service providers have the choice of offering a wide range of services to subscribers connected to a single type of ADSL 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. , ranging from very high to medium bit-rates. ADSL allows for simultaneous voice and Internet traffic on the same phone line. This solution allows the existing copper access loops to be used to increase data channel speeds some 200 times (compared with the dial-up modem), while retaining the existing telephone channel. Alcatel is the world's leading supplier of ADSL technology, with 70 per cent of the Asia Pacific market, and 55 per cent of the market in the USA, where it expects to ship more than one million lines this year.
