Atlas Communication Engines is First to Prove AutoBaud Interoperability with Lucent's Stinger DSLAM.SANTA BARBARA Santa Barbara (săn'tə bär`brə, –bərə), city (1990 pop. 85,571), seat of Santa Barbara co., S Calif., on the Pacific Ocean; inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 1999-- Lucent and Atlas Communication Engines partner to simplify and speed SDSL See DSL. SDSL - Single-line Digital Subscriber Line service deployments Atlas Communication Engines, Inc., a leader in the design and manufacture of voice and data internetworking products for corporate Internet and branch office connectivity, today announced that its Onyx SDSL DSU/Router is the first CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment product to be interoperable with the new AutoBaud(TM) technology implemented in the Stinger(TM) 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. from Lucent Technologies (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :LU). AutoBaud technology is designed to significantly enhance the connection set-up process between SDSL equipment operating at any one of the dozens of line rates that SDSL technology supports by avoiding time-consuming manual line qualification. AutoBaud allows carriers to automatically qualify and determine the maximum data rate supported by the line, alleviating the need for a truck roll. The technology has been implemented as an embedded software algorithm within the device driver for Conexant's ZipWire SDSL chip, which Lucent and Atlas Communication Engines have been very fast to incorporate into the Stinger 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 (DSLAM) and Onyx SDSL DSU/Router. The ZipWire chip enables the Onyx SDSL DSU/Router to operate at software-selectable data rates from 144 Kbps to 2320 Kbps as a low-cost T1 alternative. "Atlas Communication Engines sees great benefit for our customers in being able to very quickly deploy the Onyx SDSL DSU/Router in conjunction with the Stinger," quipped David Adleman, Atlas Communication Engines' director of business development. "The quicker our products can be deployed, the more we will sell and the sooner I can retire." Atlas Communication Engines, Inc. Atlas designs and manufactures voice and data internetworking products such as DSL access equipment, ATM networking products, WAN access routers, and data communications test equipment. Atlas also designs and builds OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and communication engines, which sit at the heart of many leading internetworking products.
