About PairGain Technologies

PairGain stands as the dominant supplier in the HDSL market, with over 75 percent market share. In an era of computing/communications jargon, PairGain Technologies has created a more concise, memorable way to think of HDSL...CopperOptics(tm), referring to the overriding benefit of HDSL using PairGain technology, namely, fiber optic quality transmission over copper. PairGain's HDSL products allow telcos and corporate end users to provision advanced digital services at lower costs and in less time than with traditional repeatered T1/E1 or fiber optic deployment. The company introduced its first SPAROW chip in 1990, and since, it has developed lower power and higher performance versions which have become the engine of HDSL technology. Also, PairGain is currently working on an integrated implementation of ADSL based on its powerful Falcon chip.

PairGain has become synonymous with the term CopperOptics, and essentially, it has come to define our business: delivering high-speed, fiber optic-quality digital transmission over the last mile of ordinary copper wire, allowing both public and private telecommunications providers to seamlessly link networks and end users.
