Aware Demonstrates Bonded ADSL2plus

Aware is demonstrating bonded ADSL2plus technology at this week's SuperComm in Chicago. The demo is compliant with the draft proposed American National Standard for ATM-based multi-pair bonding, which enables ADSL throughputs on multiple telephone lines to be aggregated, or "bonded." Bonded ADSL2plus combines ATM-layer bonding with ADSL2plus technology to increase customers' data rates. It can be implemented using off-the-shelf ADSL2plus chipsets and Aware bonding technology.



Bonding just two ADSL2plus lines provides enough bandwidth to deliver three channels of high-definition television on short lines, such as those provisioned from apartment buildings or neighborhood pedestals, or two standard-definition television channel on lines as long as 12,000 feet. The draft bonding standard leverages the inherent flexibility of an ADSL2/2plus solution, and expands service providers' ability to serve a broad range of applications in a variety of environments. http://www.aware.com
