U.S. ROBOTICS SHATTERS SPEED BARRIER: DELIVERS 56 Kbps OVER STANDARD
TELEPHONE LINES
Internet Service Providers Embrace New x2 Technology; Plan Field Trials &
Roll-Out
Skokie, Ill., October 16, 1996 -- U.S. Robotics (NASDAQ:USRX) today announced
a key breakthrough in modem technology that provides Internet and on-line
connections at speeds nearly twice as fast as those currently available over
standard telephone lines.
U.S. Robotics' new x2 increases the top speed of a standard modem for
downloading data from 28.8 or 33.6 Kbps to 56 Kbps -- equivalent to many
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connections, but without the need
for expensive new central office equipment required by other high-speed
technologies.
Service Providers Sign Up for x2
U.S. Robotics also announced that the world's leading Internet and on-line
service providers support x2. To date, more than 30 service providers
worldwide have agreed to participate in field trials with broad roll-out
plans to follow.
"We believe that this development marks a quantum leap in technology for
Internet and on-line services, and that it will add huge impetus to the growth
of consumer Internet services in the UK. We will be the first to pass this
onto our wholesale customers, such as Virgin," said Jag Sanger, marketing
manager for Cable Online.
"As the worldwide leader in providing consumer Internet on-line services,
America Online is excited about the x2 technology that will provide our more
than 6.2 million members the ability to access AOL at even faster speeds," said
Matt Korn, vice president, operations, America Online. "We will continue to
work with innovative technology, like x2, which will expand our members'
experience and enable them to use a variety of multimedia services on AOL."
"We plan to aggressively deploy this new high-speed modem technology across the
IBM Global Network's more than 500 local calling points in the U.S.," said Gary
Weis, general manager, worldwide operations, IBM Global Network. "As soon as
this new feature becomes available, the IBM Global Network will implement x2
via our automated software download process that enables customers to obtain
network enhancements like this easily and quickly," he said. In the near term,
IBM Global Network will use x2 technology in the U.S., Canada and 14 other
countries.
These service providers already use U.S. Robotics' Total Control Enterprise
Network Hub, a remote access server, which will enable them to quickly and
easily upgrade their networks and offer x2 service to millions of existing
subscribers.
With the introduction of x2, U.S. Robotics will deliver the industry's only
immediate, end-to-end higher speed solution for both individuals and service
providers. "No other company has both the market presence and systems
architecture to immediately provide on-line and Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) with a significantly faster and better Internet experience," said Casey
Cowell, chairman, chief executive officer and president of U.S. Robotics.
U.S. Robotics submitted a proposal for 56 Kbps modem speeds to the ITU-T in
September. As a key contributor to many past standards, the company plans to
lead the effort to standardize 56 Kbps technology worldwide. However, because
of the typically lengthy time to bring a standard to fruition, U.S. Robotics is
bringing x2, a proprietary technology, to market immediately.
"The unique combination of USR's market leadership in modems and Texas
Instruments' market leadership in DSP (Digital Signal Processor) solutions
will set a new standard in Internet access for the networked society," said
Rich Templeton, SemiConductor Group president for Texas Instruments. "USR's
new x2 technology enables solutions for a wide variety of communications
products, and TI is pleased to be part of this innovative technology."
Why Faster is Better
Surfing the World Wide Web has become immensely popular, but the increase in
complex graphical content on web sites has slowed the downloading process. x2
substantially speeds up the delivery of information and reduces time wasted
waiting for information, thereby increasing productivity for users.
"As the Internet continues to evolve from a novelty into an important business
tool, customers are demanding faster and more reliable service," said Steve
Tabaska, executive director, MCI data services engineering. "Through the use
of U.S. Robotics' x2 technology, MCI will be able to offer our dial-up
Internet customers faster connectivity without the added expense of an ISDN
line."
Most Internet access continues to take place over regular telephone lines, so
x2 technology is expected to have a widespread impact. "Increasing the speed
at which data can be delivered will dramatically improve service for those
already using the Internet, and it will encourage more people to get
connected," Cowell said.
x2 Enhances Corporate Remote Access
Any corporation can easily add x2 to existing Total Control systems through a
software upgrade. This flexible upgrade path is unmatched in the industry and
is the reason many major corporations have standardized on Total Control. The
system was designed with "investment protection," which allows customers to
easily take advantage of new technologies without completely changing to new
hardware in their networks.
U.S. Robotics' corporate and smaller ISP customers also will benefit from the
company's other remote access products that will offer x2.
"Corporate applications are fueling tremendous growth in remote access, "Cowell
said. "As the top remote access provider, U.S. Robotics will be the company
that delivers multiple higher-speed solutions," he said.
x2 Technology Boosts "Downstream" Data Delivery
U.S. Robotics develops its own modem technology, unlike competitors who
purchase "chipsets" from third parties. By using DSPs, which are programmable
modem engines, U.S. Robotics has the flexibility to innovate new capabilities,
unlike most other companies.
x2 is an asymmetrical technology that supplies 56 Kbps "downstream" for
transmissions from service providers. It takes advantage of a special network
configuration commonly encountered when an analog subscriber establishes a
connection with a data server that is digitally connected to the Digital
Telephone Network (DTN). This new transmission technique differs fundamentally
from the modulation techniques used for high speed modems.
This model is ideal for Internet or remote access because information sent to
the individual desktop is typically graphics-based and requires a
high-performance channel. User requests, such as http commands, require less
bandwidth and can be transmitted quickly "upstream" at conventional 28.8 or
33.6 Kbps speeds.
Because of U.S. Robotics' flexible software-based modem architecture, the
company also has the capability to add both proprietary protocols and standards
to its products, ensuring compatibility and connections with other products at
the highest speeds available.
It's Easy to Upgrade to x2
In many cases, individuals will be able to obtain a simple, inexpensive upgrade
for their U.S. Robotics modems. U.S. Robotics Sportster modems now on retail
shelves worldwide can be upgraded to x2; Sportster x2 upgrades will be
available in January 1997.
The vast majority of homes and offices will be able to take advantage of x2,
although some locations may not be able to achieve these speeds because the
configuration of the local telephone loop will not accommodate the service. The
connection at those locations will fall back to the highest standard modem
speed available on that line.
U.S. Robotics will conduct field trials in November and begin shipping x2 to
Internet and on-line service providers as well as end users during the first
calendar quarter of 1997.
U.S. Robotics is one of the world's leading suppliers of products and systems
that provide access to information. The company designs, manufactures, markets
and supports remote access servers, enterprise communications systems,
desktop/mobile client products and modems and telephony products that connect
computers and other equipment over analog, digital and switched cellular
networks, enabling users to gain access to, manage and share data, fax and
voice information. Its customers include Internet service providers, regional
Bell operating companies, inter-exchange carriers and a wide range of other
large and small businesses, institutions and individuals.
