It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary Solution. By using Analog Devices/Aware AD20msp910 chipset, incorporating Aware's splitterless DSL-Lite technology, Pulsecom can now give access providers a flexible, cost-effective way to roll out high-speed Internet access services to consumers. Aware's DSL-Lite is a splitterless 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 See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ) technology based on the widely accepted DMT See DSL. (Discrete MultiTone) standard. Pulsecom's WavePacer Broadband DSL Solution is a scalable, end-to-end ADSL solution addressing the needs of the network access provider (NAPs), network service provider (NSPs) and end users. With the addition of Aware's DSL-Lite, Pulsecom's WavePacer now supports the Universal ADSL Working Group (UAWG UAWG Universal ADSL Working Group UAWG Um Antwort Wird Gebeten UAWG User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Working Group ) proposed standard for high-speed Internet access. "We believe the availability of DSL-Lite solutions will accelerate the acceptance and deployment of ADSL technology in the consumer marketplace," said Michael Tzannes, president and chief executive officer of Aware Inc. "Through our ongoing commitment to standards and interoperability, Aware is taking a leadership role in driving multivendor solutions that will foster competition and innovation in equipment." Aware's DSL-Lite, a variant of ADSL technology, is designed for easy, low -cost deployment in the home and requires no special equipment or wiring. Using one existing phone line and ordinary phone jacks, DSL-Lite modems are as easy to use as traditional analog modems, but deliver transmission speeds more than 27 times faster than today's 56-Kbps modems. Aware's DSL-Lite DMT technology and software eliminate the need for a voice-data splitter on the customer's side of the connection. This means a service provider can, in most cases, offerthe speed of DSL technology to consumers without having to send a technician to customers' homes to install new wiring and equipment. The Pulsecom WavePacer Broadband DSL solution is already being used by access providers worldwide to deploy full-rate ADSL services. Based upon Aware's xDSL technology, the WavePacer Broadband DSL Solution is completely standards-based and supports the ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. T1.413 DMT standard, the line code of choice. Pulsecom has incorporated the AD20msp910 chipset into a new line card called the Lite-1000/CX, which fits into the WavePacer Broadband XAC (xDSL Access Concentrator), an existing component of the WavePacer Broadband Solution. The WavePacer Broadband XAC works in conjunction with Pulsecom's WavePacer ADSL-8000 modem for full-rate ADSL or with any DSL-Lite-compliant customer premise equipment, to provide access for a large number of xDSL line cards into a broadband switch or router.
