Features live demonstration of VDSL2 multi-vendor, multi-chipset
interoperability
BEDFORD, Mass., June 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aware, Inc. (Nasdaq:
AWRE), a leading supplier of broadband technology, today announced that it
will showcase multi-vendor, multi-chipset VDSL2 interoperability in its
booth (#1858) at NXTcomm 2007, June 18 - 21, 2007 in Chicago. Attendees
will see the industry's first true interoperability demonstration as
Aware's StratiPHY3(TM) VDSL2 intellectual property platform publicly passes
multi- profile interoperability with industry-leading VDSL2 DSLAM central
office (CO) solutions. The demo will feature an Aware StratiPHY3-based
customer premise equipment (CPE) platform interoperating with three
different DSLAMs, each utilizing a VDSL2 chipset from a different supplier.
Interoperability will be shown across multiple VDSL2 profiles, including
8a, 12a and 17a.
"Most VDSL2 trials and early deployments used chipsets which had
'partial- VDSL2-compliance' since they did not support all the features of
the ITU VDSL2 standard. As a result, many service providers used central
office and customer premises equipment from the same VDSL2 silicon
supplier, often referred to as 'book-ended' deployments, to ensure that CO
and CPE equipment would connect," commented Peter LeBlanc, Aware's vice
president of marketing. "This left service providers with limited options
for customer premises equipment, which has ultimately slowed deployment."
Aware has addressed this challenge that service providers face and
solved the VDSL2 interoperability problem by using its unique development
approach which allows its solutions to be interoperable with both installed
partial- VDSL2-compliant and future VDSL2-compliant chipsets. Using
equipment with Aware's technology, service providers can deploy
future-proof customer premises solutions today which can interoperate with
already deployed partially compliant VDSL2 DSLAMs as well as
next-generation standard-compliant solutions.
"Achieving multi-vendor, multi-chipset interoperability is a
significant industry milestone and a proof point that StratiPHY3 is the
most interoperable solution on the market today," LeBlanc continued.
Last week, Aware also announced that PMC-Sierra has licensed Aware's
StratiPHY3 technology for its VDSL2 residential gateway system on a chip
(SoC) product. Aware's StratiPHY3 is a field-proven, high-performance DSL
intellectual property platform which supports ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ as
well as VDSL1 and VDSL2, and allows silicon providers to combine a complete
standard-compliant, interoperable solution with the strength and diversity
of their own CO or CPE product offerings.
Aware's VDSL2 interoperability demonstration, its line of StratiPHY(TM)
platforms and its VDSL2 solutions will be featured in its booth at NXTcomm
2007 (#1858) from June 18 - 21, 2007 in Chicago. For more information on
