Aware, Inc. Extends ADSL2plus Leadership by Establishing Interoperability with Alcatel 7300 ASAM; Major Milestone Signals the Arrival of Advanced Services Over DSL.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUPERCOMM 2004 BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2004 Aware, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :AWRE AWRE Atomic Weapons Research Establishment AWRE Australian Workshop on Requirements Engineering AWRE Automatic Write Reallocation Enable ), a worldwide leader and innovator of broadband intellectual property, today announced its StratiPHY2+(TM) customer premise equipment (CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment ) digital chip has achieved interoperability with Alcatel's 7300 Advanced Services Access Manager (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 ), reaching data rates in excess of 24 Mbps. StratiPHY2+ is a complete physical instantiation (programming) instantiation - Producing a more defined version of some object by replacing variables with values (or other variables). 1. In object-oriented programming, producing a particular object from its class template. of Aware's intellectual property, which includes a digital chip and software technology. StratiPHY2+ is compliant with all annexes of the 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. ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2/2plus standards, including Reach-Extended ADSL2 and Automode. "Achieving such a high level of performance between the Alcatel ASAM and CPE based on Aware's StratiPHY2+ demonstrates that multi-vendor ADSL2/2plus interoperability is a reality today, " commented Peter LeBlanc, vice president of marketing of Aware. "This key milestone serves as a signal to service providers that the equipment they need to compete against cable with advanced services such as video- and voice-over-IP is now available." StratiPHY2+ is fully compliant with the ITU standards ADSL2 (G.992.3) and ADSL2plus (G.992.5), which doubles the downstream bandwidth of ADSL, resulting in significant downstream data rate increases on shorter phone lines. It also supports Reach-Extended ADSL2 (RE-ADSL2), which uses new power spectral density (PSD (tool) PSD - Portable Scheme Debugger. ) masks that significantly increase ADSL's reach by up to 40%. Customers with phone lines longer than 18,000 feet have often been considered out of reach of an ADSL connection, so offering services to these customers by extending the reach of DSL is an effective way for carriers to expand their customer base. StratiPHY2+ also incorporates the benefits of Automode, an ADSL2 standard feature that analyzes link information gathered during modem initialization in·i·tial·ize tr.v. in·i·tial·ized, in·i·tial·iz·ing, in·i·tial·iz·es Computer Science 1. To set (a starting value of a variable). 2. To prepare (a computer or a printer) for use; boot. 3. to intelligently determine the best configuration for a given subscriber line. It enables service providers to smoothly configure a subscriber line to best match the service level, such as ADSL2plus higher rates or RE-ADSL2, thereby optimizing revenue per subscriber. Aware will feature StratiPHY2+ in its booth (#21729) at SuperComm 2004 from June 22 - 24 in Chicago.
