Ambit Microsystems recently won a central office equipment (COE) bid from Lucent Technologies, competing bidders said. The company is expected to supply a total of 1.2 million units of IP-DSLAM equipment for Lucent, the largest single COE order in history.

The largest COE bid in history attracted the attention of a number of Taiwanese xDSL equipment makers including C-Com, Opnet Technologies, TurboComm Technology and XAVi Technologies, who all submitted bids. According to these companies, Ambit is expected to contract manufacture Lucent’s recently announced 16- and 24-port IP DSLAM equipment, which is based on DMT (discrete multitone) technology, IP (Internet protocol) design and STMicroelectronics (ST) chip solutions.

According to Lucent’s press release, its V-16 IP DSLAM supports “triple play” voice, data and video services, including “Ethernet in the First Mile” data services over existing copper wiring. The solution allows service providers to offer a wide-range of high-value advanced multimedia services, such as video conferencing, video-on-demand, broadcast TV, streaming media, interactive gaming and super-high-speed Internet access.

The product addresses the growing VDSL market worldwide, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, according to Lucent’s statement.
