Looking to enhance its DSLAM market status, ADC has introduced version 3.0 of its Avidia DSLAM platform. With support for G.SHDSL symmetric business service, the Avidia 3.0 is also a 24-port ADSL subscriber module that can increase chassis density and port power consumption by 40 percent. Avidia is complete with enhanced ATM capabilities including UNI 4.0 and ILMI/PNNI 1.0 for end-to-end SVC support. The platform can also now support broadcast video. For carriers with IP infrastructures, the Ethernet uplink element enables carriers to deliver enhanced data services. Available now, the enhanced platform is currently being utilized by France-based LDCOM for its G.SHDSL capabilities and by Rochester, N.Y.-based Frontier Communications for its T1/E1 IMA backhaul feature to take advantage of its existing copper infrastructure in lieu of new fiber buildouts.
