Comprising more than 185 member countries, the ITU sets standards for global telecom networks. ) and will be the successor to the current ADSL standards. ADSL2 includes several important improvements, identified over the past three years of deployment, which will improve performance and ease provisioning of service. Performance improvements include enhanced data rates, longer reach, and diagnostics tools, and are designed to enhance the customer's 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 experience as well as the profitability of DSL services. Aware's ADSL2 solution also provides support for `ADSL2+', an extension to the ADSL2 standard that doubles the ADSL bandwidth, enabling data rates greater than 20 Mbps on short phone lines. The new ADSL2+ standard is targeted for consent by the ITU in the beginning of 2003. Aware's ADSL2+ solution will also have an ADSL and ADSL2 mode enabling interoperability with legacy ADSL products. Aware's intellectual property offering consists of complete RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; , firmware and system reference design information enabling silicon providers to easily integrate ADSL2 into multi-functional system-on-chip solutions.
