Aware to Demonstrate Reach-Extended ADSL2 at SUPERCOMM 2003; The First Standards-Based Reach Extension Solution Expands ADSL Coverage Area By 20%.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUPERCOMM 2003 BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2003 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 plans to demonstrate Reach-Extended ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2 (RE-ADSL2) at SUPERCOMM 2003. RE-ADSL2 extends the reach of ADSL by as much as 2,000 feet, effectively increasing the coverage area of carriers' 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 services by 20% or more. The RE-ADSL2 standard (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. G.992.3 Annex L) has been technically frozen and is expected to officially join the ADSL2 standards family later this year. Aware's RE-ADSL2 solution will be fully compliant to the new standard and interoperable with ADSL and ADSL2 equipment. It joins Aware's StratiPHY(TM) family of ADSL2 intellectual property offerings available today in silicon for evaluation. "Even as the number of ADSL users worldwide continues to accelerate, some households still reside outside of the reach of ADSL services. This is a big issue in rural North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , and also in many parts of Europe and Asia," said Peter LeBlanc, Aware's vice president of marketing. "As the first standard-compliant reach-extended DSL solution, RE-ADSL2 promises to play a significant role in the expansion of carriers' addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be markets in several geographies." A live demonstration of RE-ADSL2 will be conducted in Aware's booth (#22261) at SUPERCOMM 2003, which takes place in Atlanta, GA June 1 - 5, 2003. For more information on RE-ADSL2 or any of Aware's products, please visit Aware's booth at SUPERCOMM or Aware's website at: http://www.aware.com. More About RE-ADSL2 Final approval of the RE-ADSL2 standard by the ITU is expected in October 2003. RE-ADSL2 performance improvements result from new power spectral density (PSD (tool) PSD - Portable Scheme Debugger. ) masks designed to improve data rates on extra-long phone lines. For a downstream data rate of 384 kbps, these improvements can translate to an increase in coverage area of approximately 20%. RE-ADSL2 is expected to operate as an alternative mode of an ADSL2 chipset that a carrier can choose to activate for particular customers. Chipsets enabled with Aware's RE-ADSL2 could also conceivably operate in ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ modes.
