Meanwhile, reltec Corp. is providing its fiberstar high-speed Internet access solution to Century Telephone, Bedford, TX, for an Internet access trial in San Marcos, TX. The trial involves supplying traffic at 10 Mbits/sec to residential users over reltec`s discas broadband access platform. According to reltec, the 10Base-T Ethernet service demonstrates that getting fiber-optic cable within 500 ft of an end-user can be an efficient and cost-effective way to deliver high-capacity, symmetrical baseband services. As a result, end-users will have high-speed residential Internet access capabilities, while service providers will have Internet traffic removed from voice traffic.
