BEDFORD, Mass., June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aware, Inc. (Nasdaq:
AWRE), a leading supplier of broadband technology, today announced that it
will be demonstrating its latest line of DSL test and diagnostics hardware
and software live in its booth (#1858) at NXTcomm 2007, June 18 - 21, 2007
in Chicago. At the show, Aware will give attendees a first-hand look at how
its many test and diagnostics products, including interoperable OEM modem
modules for handheld and testhead solutions and Dr. DSL(R) expert analysis
software, work together and with other vendor equipment to offer service
providers a combined service assurance solution which saves time and money
for maintaining and rolling out new service offerings for VDSL2 and IPTV.
"Using Aware's test and diagnostics solutions to emulate the DSLAM
and/or CPE, vendors can now test multiple points in a network with the same
piece of equipment. Leveraging Aware's field-proven multi-standard
interoperable solution, service providers can upgrade their networks to
newer technologies such as VDSL2, without requiring new testing equipment,"
commented Jim Wahl, Aware's director of product marketing. "Combined with
Aware's Dr. DSL expert software for automated fault analysis, this solution
gives testing equipment companies and service providers access to a
combination of completely interoperable and standard-compliant testing
solutions that are capable of performing ADSL, ADSL2+ and VDSL2 tests for
central offices and remote terminals."
Aware's NXTcomm demonstrations will feature realistic DSL test and
service assurance scenarios involving both central office (CO) and customer
premises equipment (CPE) using Aware's technology.
"Of the many features included with Aware's test and diagnostics
products, our customers have found the easy-to-read results especially
helpful," continued Wahl. "Service providers do not want to dedicate
technician field time or additional training to interpret the raw data
collected as required by the DSL standards. Aware's Dr. DSL product line
offers technicians a sophisticated software solution that produces easily
interpreted, plain- English results, reducing field time and increasing
productivity."
Dr. DSL Expert Analysis Software
Aware's Dr. DSL expert analysis software enables DSL access equipment,
test head and outside plant equipment suppliers to quickly integrate
Aware's advanced physical layer diagnostics into their product solutions.
Aware's software modules are flexible and can be rapidly integrated into
OEM product platforms to provide complementary pre-qualification and line
analysis functionality.
Dr. DSL Line Diagnostics Platform
Aware's Dr. DSL Line Diagnostics Platform is a new server-based
solution which analyzes physical layer data collected by BLCs, DSLAMs, CPEs
or test equipment via single-ended (SELT) and dual-ended (DELT) line tests
as well as metallic loop tests (MELT). Data retrieved through open
interfaces is interpreted with Aware's Dr. DSL software for plant analysis
and line monitoring. The Line Diagnostics Platform allows single-ended 30
MHz spectral analysis, pre-qualification, and TDR troubleshooting as well
as dual-ended outside plant, in-home and rate reduction analysis, and
provides historical test comparisons for service planning and proactive
maintenance. A demonstration of the functionality and performance of the
Line Diagnostics Platform will be a centerpiece of Aware's booth at the
show. Aware also recently announced a reseller agreement for the Line
Diagnostics Platform with Occam Networks.
Dr. DSL Modem Emulation Hardware
Aware's line of DSL OEM hardware modem modules enable rapid integration
of DSL modem emulation into telecom outside plant equipment. The modem
modules leverage Aware's interoperability leadership position to ensure
connectivity with all major ADSL, ADSL2+ and VDSL2 chipset providers, and
are software- configurable to support CO or CPE profiles for all ADSL and
VDSL standards. Aware's modem modules also support on-module Dr. DSL expert
diagnostics software for local analysis and interpretation of data.
Technician Dr. DSL
Aware's Technician Dr. DSL uses Aware's Dr. DSL software to provide
expert analysis on a technician's laptop, enabling field technicians to
efficiently troubleshoot common outside plant and in-home DSL problems by
identifying their source and calculating the data rate impact of each
disturber. Technician Dr. DSL's physical layer analysis capabilities
include topology analysis and bridged tap detection, disturber
identification, in-home analysis and rate reduction analysis.
