Aware also launches its integrated ATM-Bonded ADSL2+ solution
BEDFORD, Mass., June 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aware, Inc. (Nasdaq:
AWRE), a leading supplier of broadband technology, today announced that it
will be releasing two new DSL bonding products at NXTcomm 2007, June 18 -
21 in Chicago. At the show, Aware will conduct the industry's first public
demonstration of bonded VDSL2 with its new StratiPHY(TM) IP-Bonded VDSL2
reference design for copper line bonding. Aware will also feature its new
single-chip StratiPHY ATM-Bonded ADSL2+ intellectual property solution.
Aware's StratiPHY bonded silicon-level intellectual property technologies
are the perfect solutions for semiconductor manufacturers that want to
support ITU G.bond (G.998.1 or G.998.2) in their customer premises
equipment.
Aware's StratiPHY ADSL2+ ATM loop bonding technology was the first
solution to provide the telecom industry with a revolutionary technique for
combining multiple ADSL2+ lines together into a single, aggregated
connection, even if they have different data rate capacities. Today Aware
is pleased to announce that it has expanded on its DSL expertise and is
introducing both an integrated single-chip ATM-Bonded solution for ADSL2+
and a higher-bandwidth Ethernet or IP-based reference design for bonded
VDSL2. These solutions use the existing copper network to double the
bandwidth to residential customers through the use of a second copper pair,
and offer service providers an attractive means to greatly expand the
service area without the cost of deploying fiber deeper into the network.
"Bonded DSL is one of the most important new broadband DSL technologies
because service providers are now able to leverage their installedcopper
infrastructure to roll out higher bandwidth IPTV and video offerings
further into the network, reaching a much larger subscriber base for lower
CAPEX than by using fiber-to-the-home networks," commented Peter LeBlanc,
Aware's vice president of marketing. "Although VDSL2 is extremely high
bandwidth, it has a limited reach. Aware's new StratiPHY IP-Bonded VDSL2
enables service providers to use the existing and unused second telephone
line to bond two VDSL2 links into a single aggregate connection. For
example, with the VDSL2 8d profile common in North American FTTN
deployments, a service provider can use IP- Bonded VDSL2 over two lines to
deliver an effective data rate of 40 Mbps to subscribers up to 5,000 feet
from a remote DSLAM. A single VDSL2 line can deliver 40 Mbps only up to
3,000 feet. Therefore, through the use of IP-Bonded VDSL2, the IPTV service
area more than doubles."
Aware's StratiPHY ATM- and IP-Bonded DSL intellectual property
offerings contain all the requisite technology for semiconductor suppliers
to rapidly integrate standard-compliant customer premises solutions.
StratiPHY ATM- Bonded ADSL2+ integrates two StratiPHY2+(TM) field-proven
cores along with bonding and management software into a single-chip
intellectual property offering. Aware's IP-Bonded VDSL2 reference design is
a complete instantiation of the ITU G.bond G.998.2 Ethernet bonded
standard. It consists of two discrete StratiPHY3(TM) standard-compliant
VDSL2 digital and analog ICs and programmable bonding logic and enables
Ethernet bonding of two VDSL2 lines.
