ARLINGTON, Va.-Bell Atlantic Network Services Inc. selected DSC Communications Corp. to supply equipment and software for the company’s 1998 launch of a high-speed data communications service for consumers using Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line technology.
Bell Atlantic already has deployed DSC’s Litespan-2000 digital loop carrier system in its network.
“Today’s Internet applications are becoming rich in multimedia content such as video and audio,” said Fred D’Alessio, president of Bell Atlantic Consumer Services. “Consumers are hungry for faster and faster speeds to take advantage of this content and for telecommuting or remote access to corporate computer networks. ADSL puts consumers in the seat of a Ferrari, roaring past analog modem users still in the bicycle lane.”
