NetSpeed announces Advanced "On-Demand" ADSL Product Solutions.AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 1997-- Breakthrough QuickDial(TM) technology enables pervasive deployment of ADSL services NetSpeed(TM), founded by former NetWorth executives John McHale and Paul Zito, has announced end-to-end 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) products, including a breakthrough technology known as QuickDial "On-Demand" ADSL. According to industry analyst Kieran Taylor of Telechoice, "NetSpeed's QuickDial On-Demand ADSL is going to make the ADSL market happen." NetSpeed has announced a suite of products for service providers, corporations and consumers. The LoopRunner(TM) Advanced Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer A Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) allows telephone lines to make faster connections to the Internet. It is a network device, located near the customer's location, that connects multiple customer Digital Subscriber Lines (DSLs) to a high-speed Internet (ADSLAM ADSLAM Advanced Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (Cisco) (TM), SpeedRunner(TM) 100/200 Ethernet to ADSL routers, SpeedRunner 300 Ethernet to ADSL router/inverse multiplexer, PCIRunner(TM) ADSL PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS.

The SpeedRunner 100 product is offered as either premise equipment (ATU-R See ATU. ) or service provider equipment (ATU-C See ATU. ) for paired modem applications. SpeedRunner 200 is a high-performance Ethernet-to-ADSL router with one Ethernet port and one ADSL port. The ADSL port is rate adaptive and delivers up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. Symmetrical service, or SDSL mode, is configurable at rates up to 960Kbps. A 10Base-T interface is provided for connection to a LAN backbone. An onboard communications processor supports the spanning-tree bridging protocol and transparent IP and IPX routing. The SpeedRunner 200 product can be configured as either premise equipment (ATU-R) or service provider equipment (ATU-C) for paired modem applications. The First 24 Mbps ADSL Product SpeedRunner 300 is the fastest ADSL product in the industry and utilizes NetSpeed BroadBond technology to aggregate up to three ADSL ports to provide 24 Mbps performance. The SpeedRunner 300 is a high-performance multi-port ADSL inverse multiplexer with one Ethernet port and up to 3 ADSL ports. SpeedRunner 300 is designed for remote office connectivity, Internet gateway, or fiber extension applications. The ADSL ports are rate adaptive and deliver up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream each. Symmetrical service is configurable on each ADSL port at rates up to 960 Kbps. A 10Base- T interface is provided for connection to a LAN backbone. An onboard communications processor supports transparent IP and IPX routing and spanning-tree bridging.
