BEDFORD, Mass., May 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aware, Inc. (Nasdaq:
AWRE), a worldwide leader and innovator of broadband intellectual property,
today announced the immediate availability of its comprehensive product
line of standard-compliant ADSL2+ and VDSL2 modem modules for telecom
outside plant handheld test equipment. The modules are designed to enable
test equipment vendors to quickly integrate modem emulation and advanced
diagnostics into their products for use by field technicians responsible
for ADSL2+ and VDSL2 service verification. These "all-in-one" modules offer
a full suite of DSL physical layer diagnostics, ATM statistics, and IP
connectivity, as well as Aware's advanced Dr. DSL(R) expert diagnostics
software.
Aware's products are available in three models. The powerful yet
economical 350 model is a low-power ADSL2+ ATU-R modem which is fully
compliant with the ITU G.992.5 ADSL2+ standard and is based on Aware's
field-proven interoperable technology. The 450 and 550 models are flexible,
small-profile VDSL2 modems, which can be software-configured to operate as
a remote terminal (RT) to verify DSLAM sync rates and IP network
connectivity, or as a central office (CO) for customer premises service
verification. Both the 450 and 550 are fully compliant with the recently
approved International Telecommunications Union (ITU) G.993.2 VDSL2
standard and support all eight configuration profiles, including the 50
Mbps 17a and 8b profiles to be deployed by Deutsche Telekom for their IPTV
initiative. The 350, 450 and 550 modules are backward compatible and
interoperable to legacy ADSL equipment.
All modules also support Aware's Dr. DSL expert diagnostics software,
which troubleshoots outside plant physical layer problems that impact DSL,
including far-end bridged taps and wideband noise interference. By using
Dr. DSL's problem identification capability and SmartRx(TM) rate reduction
technology, field technicians can quickly determine if a line can be
cost-effectively conditioned to support new VDSL2 high-bandwidth services
such as HD IPTV video.
Each module supports a Linux operating system, which contains drivers
and applications that are used to manage the initiation of DSL links and to
support a broad spectrum of diagnostics, from physical layers through the
ATM and IP packet layer. The modules also support bridge and router
functionality and provide a convenient LAN interface for modem control and
the passing of ATM and IP data.
Aware's outside plant handheld test modules will be featured in Aware's
booths at GLOBALCOMM 2006 (#16035) and OSP Expo (#67030) from June 5 - 7,
2006 in Chicago. For more information on Aware or its line of DSL test and
