 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Bell Atlantic Rolls Out ADSL
Oct 05 1998 12:00 AM PDT

 PROFILE
Westell Technologies wants telecom providers to walk that "last mile" in its shoes. Through subsidiary Westell, Inc., the company makes equipment that bridges the gap between the newer fiber-optic infrastructure and the "last mile" of existing copper wire networks. The company's modems, routers, and other products use DSL technology to enable high-speed data transmission over copper wires. Subsidiary Conference Plus offers audio, video, and data conferencing services. Westell, which derives about half of its sales from the regional Bell operating companies, expanded its broadband DSL business with its 2000 acquisition of rival Teltrend. Directors Robert Penny III and Melvin Simon control nearly 65% of the company.
