Texas Instruments Announces Customer Relationship with Siemens Telecom Networks for Its ADSL ChipsetIndustry's First Multi-line Architecture Will Speed Deployment of High-Speed Internet ConnectivityDALLAS (June 9, 1998) -- Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE:TXN) announced today that Siemens Telecom Networks will use the TNETD2000 ADSL chipset in its new line of Access Networks equipment. The XpressLink system, which operates as a digital subscriber line access multiplier (DSLAM), will take advantage of the chipset's fully-programmable feature, allowing software upgradability in the field to accommodate new standards, technology advances, and interoperability. Although the initial XpressLink product will be DMT-based, T1.413 issue 2 compliant, software downloads for G.lite and G.dmt will be available once standards have been finalized. "After significant evaluation, we concluded that TI's ADSL chipset delivered the programmable, scalable and extensible features we needed to meet the demands of consumers and service providers alike," said Ed Ely, vice president - Access Networks business unit, for Siemens Telecom Networks. "These features will provide consumers, service providers and telecommunications end equipment manufacturers the assurance that their equipment will remain standards-compliant and interoperable with complementary equipment for the long term." "The relationship between Siemens and Texas Instruments has produced leading edge products for many years," said Bill Eversole, director of marketing for TI's Broadband Access Group. "This engagement strengthens our relationship and brings the world closer to realizing high-speed Internet connectivity." TI's ADSL chipset leverages the TMS320C6000 core ADSL transceiver. Supporting two lines per chipset today, TI's ADSL chipset architecture will create products that support more lines in the future, enabling service providers to meet growing market demands efficiently and economically. In addition, the chipset draws upon TI's leadership in mixed signal products to provide powerful codec and front-end components. Finally, Amati Communications software technology has been implemented on this chipset, delivering a DMT-based compliant T1.413 issue 2 solution.
