Aware, Inc. Introduces Dr. DSL for ADSL2/2plus Outside Plant Diagnostics at SuperComm 2004.CHICAGO -- 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 the availability of its Dr. 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 (R) diagnostics software for use with ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2 and ADSL2plus-compliant equipment. This software uses the built-in capabilities of the new modems to troubleshoot outside plant physical layer problems that impact ADSL, including far-end bridged taps and wideband noise interference. By using Dr. DSL's problem identification capability and SmartRx(TM) rate reduction technology, field or centralized support staff can quickly determine if a line can be cost-effectively conditioned to support new high bandwidth services such as video. The ADSL2 standard defines the raw diagnostics statistics and the transport method between the central office and customer premises equipment See CPE. . Dr. DSL converts the collected data into meaningful, plain-language results that show the type and severity of physical layer plant problems in a user-friendly interface. Field technicians running Dr. DSL and SmartRx on a laptop will be able to train with an off-the-shelf ADSL2 modem on the customer premises to immediately perform this diagnosis in the field. Dr. DSL can also be integrated into handheld test sets equipped with ADSL2 or ADSL2plus modules, significantly expanding the test set's ADSL physical layer test capability. Finally, Dr. DSL can be run from a centralized operations center. In this architecture, the raw ADSL2 diagnostic data is collected from central office DSLAMs or test head equipment and is analyzed in a carrier's OSS Oss (ôs), city (1994 pop. 62,141), North Brabant prov., S Netherlands; chartered 1399. It is a significant industrial center. Manufactures include meat products, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, and metalware. system. This remote collection of far-end diagnostic data allows carriers to cost-effectively track the impact of outside plant changes for the first time, which is particularly important as carriers begin to take advantage of ADSL2plus's higher data rates and want to monitor how increased crosstalk from new subscribers affects service. Aware's Dr. DSL diagnostics software for ADSL2 and ADSL2plus will be featured in Aware's booth (#21729) at SuperComm 2004 from June 22 - 24 in Chicago.
