-DSL - DSL - DSL,

die Harmon Top!10 Liste hat es uns schon am Anfang des Jahres gepredigt!!! Die Internet Highspeed Anbindung zum Endanwender zu Hause wird der Schlager - nicht nur für das Jahr 2000.

Dabei sollte man neben den "Big Players" wie Cisco Systems, auch mal die kleineren, aber nicht minder interessanten Werte
-Orckit [903042]- und -Efficient Networks [924375]- unter die Lupe nehmen.


Da ist noch SEHR viel Musik drin, nicht zuletzt der extrem positiven Veröffentlichungen der letzten Tage.

Besonders die Endanwender Produkte (ATM over DSL PCI Karten etc.) sind durchaus beachteswert.

Was sagt Ihr dazu:

DSL Devices Debut At ComNet
(01/26/00, 11:46 a.m. ET) By Jason P. McKay, tele.com
There`s quite a bit of attention being lavished on DSL products, technologies, and solutions at ComNet in Washington, D.C., this week.

One CPE vendor, Efficient Networks, Dallas, announced its integrated access device, called the SpeedStream 8600.

The SpeedStream is designed to give service providers another option in provisioning multiline voice ports and data services over DSL to small and midsize businesses. Efficient said the 8600 can deliver up to 24 toll-quality voice lines and connect to a businesses` existing phone handsets, fax machines, PBXes, and other telephony equipment.

The heart of the product, a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet module,provides the LAN connectivity with routing and IP address management for high-speed DSL access to the Net or corporate network. The SpeedStream takes voice traffic from standard telephony equipment and data from LAN equipment and converts them into ATM cell streams and transports that content into a WAN link using dedicated ATM virtual circuit connections.

The unit boasts a fully modular platform, letting customers perform software and hardware upgrades on site and enabling providers to configure and scale connectivity options quickly to fit their customers bandwith needs. The device supports ADSL and SDSL with T1 ATM and HDSL2 support to come in future releases.

However, even if purchased in its current format, Efficient said any future DSL technologies will be able to be supported by the device through plug-in cards installed by the customer provided by Efficient.

That feature is one of the key benefits to the 8600, according to the company and what sets the unit off from existing products in its space.

"We know we haven`t seen the only flavors of DSL," said Greg Langdon, executive vice president of product strategy at Efficient. "Carriers really like to future-proof their networks. This product grows with the needs of their customer base."

The company said the SpeedStream 8600 will be available in the second quarter. Pricing information is not yet available.

Hi m ponto,

hab ich mir doch gedacht, daß Du einen eigenen Thread für "EFNT" eröffnet hast (gute Arbeit). Klingt ja alles ganz interesant. Mach weiter so.

Bis dahin

Hi allerseits,

Efficient Networks ist nicht (!!!) aus Harmon`s Top 10!
Ich finde es ziemlich daneben, unter Vorspiegelung
falscher Tatsachen die Leute in den Thread zu locken

Grüße aus dem Cyberspace, Rex

PS: Das ist keine Stellungnahme zu EFNT, sondern zur
Board-Etikette betreffs Wahrheit und Klarheit der
Thread - Titel

[mponto]

Hallo Rex,

Du hast Recht, DSL wird nicht direkt in der Harmon List hervorgehoben. Es habdelt sich um die genauso bekannt gewordene Kimen-List (unten aufgeführt/Threads bestehen), in der explizit DSL genannt wird.

Wenn man sich Hamons Empfehlung #8 (Redback, Artikel, mit dem Titel `Breitband` ) mal anschaut, dann ist auch hier in dieser Empfehlungsliste der Trend zu DSL zu erkennen.

Fazit, wir werden wohl nicht um DSL herumkommen :-)

Tschau,

m ponto

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


New Year`s Day, January 1, 2000: we all breathe a sigh of relief that our computer systems haven`t failed. No going back to a
hunter-gatherer society, no geographical limitations on communications--we can start to think about the future in terms of how
technology will further evolve.

We`ve singled out ten current technologies on the edge of leaving the developmental stage and emerging as solid products. In
considering these technologies, we couldn`t help but imagine what happens when two or more of them converge. Although the impact
of each one individually on our lives may be important, how will these technologies impact each other?

For example, imagine a phone that tracks your location and offers relevant services, such as telling you where the nearest gas station
is. And that same phone can be used only by you, because it recognizes your fingerprints or your voice patterns. Imagine an artificial
intelligence system that accurately analyzes video plus a new 3D-acceleration technology that offers real-time antialiasing to make
computer graphics look like film. Increase the bandwidth at home, throw in a little speech-recognition technology, and voilà! By using
a set of highly evolved pattern-recognition algorithms to analyze an individual`s viewing patterns, you could have real-time,
computer-generated newscasters reporting on worldwide events that are personalized to your interests.

Sounds far-fetched, but it`s not. Some of these technologies are just around the corner. In fact, early examples of some of our picks
have begun to line the shelves already; others will require more development before they hit production. For each technology, we`ve
included a predicted "critical mass date," an estimation of the most likely time when the average consumer will come into contact
with them.

Now get ready for a glimpse of the wild, technofreaky frontier.

1. Biometrics
Critical Mass Date: June 2000

At first blush, biometrics may seem like it has something to do with wearable computing--you know, visors that see infrared and fake
legs that help us leap over tall buildings with a single bound. Futuristic moniker aside, biometrics actually comprises biological
interactions with computers.

Current biometrics applications focus on security and take two different approaches. The more traditional route scans fingerprints.
Indentix and Veridicom offer a number of consumer and industrial products that use fingerprint scanning to allow access to
computers, account information, and even building entrances.

IriScan takes a dramatically different approach: performing a retinal scan. The product uses a combination of a hardware scanner,
held about three inches from the eye, and software that identifies distinct markings in the iris that no two people share. IriScan
already has begun test-marketing its product for use in bank ATMs.

Biometric technology promises a world without keys, where everything remains completely secure. Your front door would open with a
quick scan, and you wouldn`t need an ATM card to get cash. Your pockets would be a lot lighter and your wallet a lot thinner without
any credit cards to bulk it up. If someone found your electronic organizer or cell phone, they couldn`t use it without your fingerprint.

Widespread deployment of biometric scanners also eliminates the need for passwords and personal identification numbers, and that`s
where the true value lies.

2. Artificial Intelligence
Critical Mass Date: 2005

There`s a lot going on in the AI space. After all, it`s been the ultimate geek dream for decades (à la classic sci-fi movies such as 2001:
A Space Odyssey or THX 1138). Welcome to the new millennium, with its trainable robot dogs, personal shopping assistants, and
intelligent Web searching. But AI doesn`t begin and end with these rather limited consumer-oriented gadgets and agents.

A number of the projects at MIT`s Artificial Intelligence Lab cover analysis of visual data. Currently, the best a computer can
accomplish is recognizing shapes and colors, but the results of the AI Lab`s research should give computers much more complex
visual processing.

A wide array of applications could be based on this technology, such as video searches. In this case, you could instruct an agent to
peruse thousands of video streams coming in over a broadband connection to look for a particular actor`s face. Or you could play
chess against a computer that actually sees the chessboard. And although some persons with auditory or speech handicaps would
be locked out of advancements in speech-recognition technology, visual-recognition systems would let them use sign language with a
computer.

3. Viable Speech Recognition
Critical Mass Date: September 2000

Although we`ve all talked to our computers at one time or another (usually with foul language), they obviously couldn`t hear us. But as
speech recognition technology matures, that`s all going to change.

Applications such as IBM`s ViaVoice and Dragon`s NaturallySpeaking (with the support of major OS developers Microsoft and Apple)
push the advancement of speech-recognition software. However, the place where everyday users will most likely encounter this new
technology will be via the Web. A scripting language called Voice eXtensibleMarkup Language (VoiceXML), which works like HTML,
can be written into Web pages, enabling them to host full-voice conversations with users.

The VoiceXML Forum, which counts Novell, Qualcomm, Sprint, and Sun among its members, envisions using Web site speech
technology for customer service operations, but innovative Web designers will probably employ it for less utilitarian purposes. Imagine
having a version of yourself online on your personal Web site. The Web version of yourself could have conversations with people that
log on, using all of the content you`ve posted as fodder for dialogue.


4. Cheap, Thin LCD Displays
Critical Mass Date: 2002

Thin is in for the monitor market, and everyone wants to dump their bulky CRT for an LCD display. Because of their size, LCDs are a
perennial necessity for notebooks. However, 1999 saw more and more LCDs configured as desktop displays. But with LCDs costing
about ten times more than a conventional CRT, it may be a long time before one finds its way onto your desk.

Fortunately, LCDs are not at the apex of display technology, and various companies are investigating different approaches to building
flat, thin displays. For example, Motorola is working on what it calls a Field Emission Display (FED). Motorola invented FED
technology to combine the performance features of traditional cathode-ray tube (CRT) technology with the light weight and thin profile
of LCDs. FED displays can be viewed from a much wider angle than LCDs, and they offer sharper, brighter images.

A completely different tack on flat, thin displays is being developed by CDT and involves light-emitting polymers. CDT scientists have
devised a way to get plastics to conduct electricity and emit light. Although still very much in the developmental stage, this work will
result in very inexpensive, thin monitors that can be molded into many different shapes. Instead of a flat monitor, you might prefer a
sphere or a cube.

5. The Motorola DSP56690 Chip
Critical Mass Date: June 2000

Surfing the Web from a cell phone seems like a ridiculous idea--who can read a Web page on that tiny little LCD screen, right? But
Yahoo, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and other major news outlets are already WAPping it up. (WAP stands for wireless application
protocol, the industry standard for networked Web/cell phone capabilities.) These outlets will offer content specifically designed to be
viewed on cell phones and other connected handhelds.

Until recently, most wireless Internet action for cell phones proved ridiculously slow. But hero of the day Motorola stepped up to
design the DSP56690, a dual-core processor that combines key technologies to increase wireless phones` available bandwidth.

But Motorola doesn`t just see the DSP56690 as a chip for cell phones. The push is to include it in all mobile electronics, so everything
you carry with you can be connected. Your watch could display stock quotes as well as the time, or your pen could send your notes
to someone else`s handheld device as you write.

6. Integrated GPS in Wireless Phones
Critical Mass Date: September 2000

There`s no question about the viability of the mobile phone market. Once the essential yuppie accessory, mobile phones have found
their way into the hands of people everywhere. And soon, those phones will have the ability to track exactly where a user is located.
Each phone will be part of a system of private, unique IDs that are networked via a Global Positioning System (GPS).

Despite privacy concerns, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has mandated that all cellular phones in the United
States include GPS functionality by 2001, ostensibly so that the location of 911 calls can be quickly established, though who knows
how that data will really be used. But before this can happen, certain steps need to be taken.

The first move toward realistic implementation centers on Sirf Technology`s recent development of a semiconductor architecture that
makes GPS technology small enough to fit into handheld devices. This technology will be instrumental in realizing the GPS dream for
the FCC. Key investors include the world`s leading mobile phone manufacturers, Ericsson and Nokia.

Despite the Big Brother overtones, GPS should offer some benefits to smooth over the privacy issues it raises. The potential is
seemingly limitless. GPS services might include pointing out attractions to tourists; helping pedestrians find their way; locating lost
kids; tracking the whereabouts of a late dinner-date arrival; and finding the nearest grocery store, dry cleaner, or bank. Essentially, if a
provider can reasonably map a location to a database of services or timetables, GPS will offer the necessary coordinates.

These convenient aspects of GPS aside, privacy remains a huge issue. Equal--if not more weighty--concerns counterbalance GPS`s
potential benefits. Insurance companies could refuse to insure you when driving through bad neighborhoods, local police officials could
gain access to your every move, and who knows what commercial interests will do with such technology. Imagine getting a
telemarketing phone call every time you walked within five blocks of Banana Republic. Orwell never imagined such invasive tactics.

7. 3dfx T-Buffer
Critical Mass Date: June 2000

It may seem as though the last thing the world really needs is another 3D-acceleration technology. But in order to make 3D computer
animation look like film, it`s a necessity. 3dfx`s T-Buffer technology, with real-time, full-scene antialiasing, offers what some might call
the Holy Grail of 3D computer graphics.

Used in digital graphics, antialiasing smoothes over, or blends together, aliasing artifacts--diagonal lines and the flashing of thin
polygons--that would otherwise leave jagged, pixilated edges on graphical elements. 3dfx`s upcoming Voodoo 4 and Voodoo 5 product
families will feature T-Buffer technology that processes antialiasing in real time.

And because T-Buffer`s antialiasing works independently of APIs or applications, games don`t have to be written especially for T-Buffer
to take advantage of its enhancements. T-Buffer also includes depth-of-field blur (which allows the artist to direct the viewer`s attention,
blurring all but the most important actors or objects) and realistic motion blur capabilities (which result in a more true-to-life, filmlike
quality for computer-rendered 3D animation).

8. Rambus RAM
Critical Mass Date: March 2000

Since 1996, Intel and Rambus have worked together on a bigger, better, faster memory technology, now called Direct RDRAM. Intel
has already begun pushing the use of RDRAM in computer systems and will continue to do so throughout 2000.

Most SDRAM employs 100-MHz bus speed; RDRAM runs four times faster, at 400 MHz. Companies such as Toshiba have tested,
validated, and produced memory solutions with quality 128MB and 144MB RDRAM modules. Samsung is ready to deploy 256MB
RDRAM chips, according to Avo Kanadjian, senior vice president in charge of memory marketing. With RDRAM, size isn`t as
important as speed.

High-throughput RAM allows computer systems to better read and play large data and media files, which fly around the Internet
constantly. RDRAM offers the potential to open up a whole new world of virtual reality and graphical computing.

9. The G.Lite Standard for DSL
Critical Mass Date: June 2000

Every DSL provider offers its own unique implementation, making the task of buying and installing the equipment an expensive
nightmare. The new G.Lite standard will increase availability and lower prices for DSL modems. But standardization is only half the
benefit of G.Lite. The engineering geniuses at Aware designed G.Lite to be a "splitterless xDSL solution."

In existing DSL implementations, a splitter separates the voice band from the DSL spectrum to protect both signals from interfering
with one another. Typical splitters are separate, physical devices and require a skilled technician to install them--often at considerable
cost.

G.Lite eliminates the need for a splitter by using a set of routines installed on a modem chipset. Simply plug a G.Lite modem into the
phone jack and presto! Voice and data remain separate, and the data travels at speeds as fast as 1.5 mbps.

G.Lite won approval from the International Telecommunications Union during the summer of 1999, and telephone companies across
the United States are installing equipment to support the standard. Soon, easily installable DSL modems will be available off the shelf
or built in to new computer systems.

With widespread deployment of G.Lite and the near-universal increase in bandwidth that will follow, Web sites will be able to offer
more multimedia files. Instead of downloading pictures of friends and relatives, you could be looking at movies.

10. Writable DVD
Critical Mass Date: March 2000

Right on the heels of the release of DVD-ROM drives and discs to the consumer market, examples of writable DVDs emerged, a
marked contrast to the 15-year gap between the advent of CD-ROMs and the debut of consumer-level CD burners. Of course, the
entertainment industry has built much better security into DVD movies, compared to music CDs. You can easily burn a music CD
that will play in any CD player, but you would need very expensive professional equipment to record a movie that will play on standard
DVD equipment.

This limits writable DVDs to the realm of data storage. Of the proposed formats, DVD-RAM and DVD+RW have garnered the most
support. In the DVD-RAM corner, you`ll find Hitachi, Panasonic, and Toshiba; DVD+RW supporters include Sony, HP, and Philips.
DVD-RAM discs store 2.6GB of data on each side, for a total of 5.2GB on a double-sided disc. A single-sided DVD+RW holds 3GB.
Although manufacturers have released a number of DVD-RAM drives, DVD+RW products haven`t emerged yet, giving DVD-RAM a
distinct market advantage.

But because you can`t copy DVD movies, what`s the point of having 5.2GB of recordable space? The short answer: multimedia. How
many MP3s do you have on your notebook? How about RealVideo and QuickTime movies? How often have you had to uninstall
ever-larger applications and throw out files to make room on your hard drive?

Because 5.2GB translates to more than 700,000 pages of text, you could store a whole library on a set of discs. Doctors and lawyers
could carry their professional libraries with them. As we`ve seen with hard drives, once you increase the capacity, people will find
ways to fill it.
