Cygnet Technologies Makes Faster Internet Speeds a Reality With Vdsl Products.Business & High Tech Editors LEWISVILLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27, 2001 VDSL See DSL. VDSL - Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line access concentrators, remotes provide flexible implementation for heavily populated buildings, campuses Cygnet cygnet a young swan. Technologies Inc., a leading developer and marketer of VDSL and Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. edge communications products, introduced today its Sojourner VDSL access concentrator and Enabler VDSL bridge remote products. The VDSL (Very High Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Line High bit rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) was the first DSL technology that uses a higher frequency spectrum of copper, twisted pair cables. HDSL was developed in the USA, as a better technology for high-speed, synchronous circuits typically used to interconnect local ) products provide service providers and enterprises with an immediate solution for delivering voice, video and data services over existing copper wire infrastructure commonly found in residential, commercial and campus buildings with dense populations. The newest and fastest of the xDSL family, the Cygnet Technologies' VDSL-technology products are among the first and most functional in the U.S. and Asian markets. Designed for the communications network The transmission channels interconnecting all client and server stations as well as all supporting hardware and software. edge, the Sojourner access concentrator provides a significant advantage in reducing network hardware costs because it integrates many switch and access concentrator functions within a single box. Its integrated design The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.

The VDSL products provide up to 10Mbps symmetrical traffic flow per VDSL port, a feature demanded by businesses because they send as much data as they receive. The building owner or service provider can implement the Sojourner and Enabler VDSL solution without rewiring the building. The Enabler VDSL bridge remote is a customer premise equipment (CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment ) device, which is easily installed by the end-user. The Enabler allows the end-user to network--or hook together--multiple personal computers and Internet appliances within the home or small office. The result is a network of machines using a single Internet access See how to access the Internet. line at speeds faster than those provided by cable modems. "To remain competitive, service providers and enterprises must meet customer demand for the faster Internet speeds, as required by today's streaming audio, video and data services," said Chuck Schmidt, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Cygnet Technologies. "Cygnet Technologies provides the solution to the broadband delivery challenge with its VDSL Sojourner and Enabler devices. The devices are designed to be highly flexible and economical because of their integrated functionality and easy deployment within existing copper wire infrastructures." Cygnet Technologies defines the edge as the point at which the service provider meets the enterprise. A unique feature of the Sojourner is the company's standards-based embedded management software, which delivers a new level of power and scalability in network management and device configuration. A Web-based tool, the software allows easy porting of statistics via XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. to common databases and spreadsheets. The Sojourner VDSL access concentrators deliver symmetrical speeds of up to 10Mbps over distances of up to 3,000 feet or 1,000 meters. Bandwidth, or throughput, is based on distance and quality of the cable. The standard 19-inch rack mount is one rack unit high, and has eight VDSL/RJ-11 ports. A compact size unit for the Asian market has eight VDSL/RJ-11 ports. Both models include two Gigabit Ethernet copper TP ports. The compact, attractive Enabler provides service providers with a highly scalable, economical solution in the MDU/MTU and similar markets. The Sojourner VDSL access concentrators and Enabler VDSL bridge remote units are currently available as beta units for evaluation by qualified customers. Both will be in general production in the second quarter 2001.
