BEDFORD, Mass., April 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aware, Inc. (Nasdaq:
AWRE), a leading supplier of the DSL technology based on ITU-T
Recommendations, today announced that it will sponsor and host a special
tenth anniversary event to celebrate the worldwide success of the DSL
Recommendations generated by the ITU Telecommunication Standardization
Sector (ITU-T) Committee Question 4, Study Group 15 (Q4/15) over the past
decade. This event will be held this evening, April 18, 2007, in Napa, CA
in conjunction with the April 16-20 ITU-T Q4/15 Rapporteur Meeting.
"For the past ten years, Q4/15 has been the organization developing DSL
ITU Recommendations that serve as the backbone of the global deployment
success of DSL," commented Aware CEO Michael Tzannes. "At its inception in
1997, there were virtually no active DSL lines, but with the efforts of
Q4/15 and its Recommendations, today DSL has grown to more than 185 million
subscribers worldwide, making DSL the most popular broadband wide area
network technology in the world. This group of technology experts has
produced a series of Recommendations that have consistently met demanding
market requirements for data rates and functionality. These accomplishments
were made over a decade of tremendous change in the broadband industry.
Multi- megabit ITU standard G.dmt fueled the first widely deployed
residential broadband technology for high-speed Internet access over phone
lines. Today ADSL2+ and VDSL2 are enabling entertainment-quality services
that include Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and High-Definition
Television (HDTV) services that are shaping telephone companies'
triple-play offerings worldwide. All of this is made possible by the
combination of perseverance and innovation that characterize the Q4/15
group."
"Aware has participated in a leadership role in Q4/15 since its
inception, contributing technology innovations based upon our R&D efforts
to improve the data rates, functionality, reliability and flexibility of
DSL technology," Tzannes continued. "In recognition of this important
milestone, we are proud to be hosting the tenth anniversary event to
celebrate the success of Q4/15."
