Aware's VDSL2 Intellectual Property Meets Latest Industry Requirements
BEDFORD, Mass., March 14 /PRNewswire/ -- This week at CeBIT 2006, European
service providers are discussing their plans to build out their networks to
achieve higher data rates. For example, Deutsche Telekom (DT) expanded on its
recently announced broadband initiative to upgrade its high-speed network to
offer customers innovative broadband applications such as High Definition
Television (HDTV) content, including broadcasts of Germany's premiere soccer
league. Later this year, DT will launch Germany's first commercial VDSL2
network, which uses fiber-to-the neighborhood (FTTN) to shorten loops and
VDSL2 equipment in both the CO (central office) and CPE (customer premise
equipment). Aware, Inc. (Nasdaq: AWRE) today announced that its VDSL2
intellectual property successfully meets the demanding requirements being set
by service providers today, including complete VDSL2 compliance and data rates
that support high-quality entertainment services such as HDTV.
Aware's VDSL2 silicon intellectual property (IP) offering allows
integrated circuit manufacturers to field VDSL2 chipsets for modems, gateways,
or central office products rapidly and with guaranteed interoperability and
performance. Aware's technology is fully compliant with the recently approved
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) G.993.2 VDSL2 standard and
supports all eight configuration profiles, including the 50 Mbps 17a and 8b
profiles to be deployed by DT, and the highest bandwidth 30MHz frequency
spectrum which delivers symmetric rates up to 100Mbps over short distances.
Aware's VDSL2 silicon IP offering is also fully compliant with the ITU G.992.5
ADSL2+ CPE and CO standards allowing a single chipset solution to meet all the
requirements in the VDSL2 as well as the ADSL2+ standards.
"As IPTV deployments are becoming a reality, telephone companies are
focusing on how much customer bandwidth is needed to deliver multi-channel
high-definition IPTV. The decision by Deutsche Telekom to use VDSL2 in a FTTN
architecture reflects their confidence that VDSL2 can deliver the required
bandwidth for these applications," commented Peter LeBlanc, Aware's vice
president of marketing. "Our StratiPHY3(TM) silicon intellectual property
platform is well positioned to capitalize on the growing trend of service
providers using standard-compliant VDSL2-based equipment to deliver advanced
services."
