The fast-growing market for LAN-to-WAN connectivity recently received a boost with the formation of TI's Network Business Unit (NBU) Access Products organization.

The new group will focus TI's technological leadership in DSPs, mixed-signal components and networking hardware and software integration to create system-level solutions for manufacturers of access equipments. Applications that will benefit from the new TI business approach include routers, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) backbone switches, remote access servers, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line(s) (ADSL) modems, access concentrators and voiceband applications.

"Our goal is to delver tailored end-to-end solutions that will drive the migration of remote access equipment," said Greg Waters, director of TI's NBU Access Products organization. "Customers have told us that they like doing business with a single organization that is targeted toward their market requirments. With the creation of the Access Products organization, we have put the full strength of TI technology to work for our customers, reducing their total cost of ownership."
