Business Description
The company designs, develops, manufactures and markets digital subscriber line systems that enable telephone companies to provide efficient, high-speed digital transmission of data, voice and video over existing telephone networks. Increasingly, consumers are demanding access to digital transmission of new data sources, the World Wide Web and commercial and telecommunications services. In particular, the significant growth in the use of the Internet has intensified demand for high-speed digital transmission. Telephone companies are under competitive pressure to meet this demand, especially given recent deregulation which allows alternate access providers and cable companies have announced their intention to deploy broadband DSL-based solutions. Orckit's CopperTrunk and FastInternet products are being designed to enable telephone companies to remain competitive, on both a service and cost basis, by optimizing bandwith utilization of the existing copper wireline infrastructure.
