Bus Powered DSL Modem Provides Interoperability With All Major DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) A central office (CO) device for ADSL service that intermixes voice traffic and DSL traffic onto a customer's DSL line. It also separates incoming phone and data signals and directs them onto the appropriate carrier's network. See DSL. Networks Celsian Technologies Inc., a leading supplier of broadband Internet access Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just "broadband", is high speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over modem. Dial-up modems are generally only capable of a maximum bitrate of 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and require the full use of a devices today announced that it would be showcasing its new Momentum Series of DSL CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment solutions at the DSL Forum booth at the SuperComm2000 held in Atlanta this week. Celsian will team with major suppliers of central office equipment (COE) to demonstrate interoperability of its DSL CPE solutions. More than 40 leading technology companies will for the first time demonstrate any-to-any asymmetric digital subscribe line (ADSL) interoperability based on the ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union standards G.992.1 (G.dmt) and G.992.2 (G.lite) at the DSL Forum Interoperability showcase. In order to qualify for this showcase CPE vendors were required to successfully complete an exhaustive testing process at a staging lab held just prior to the event where all G.lite or G.dmt CPE were proven to work with all DSLAMs and vice-versa. Celsian's new Momentum U80 was amongst the products that were sweepingly compatible and ready for broad deployment to both business and consumer market segments. Celsian is also currently shipping DSL PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus).
