Some salient PAIR Falcon points (look out TXN, ADI and MOT):

"...the FALCON DMT ADSL chip requires less than 0.55 watts for operation......

....full-custom ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) optimized for DMT processing rather than a traditional, general-purpose DSP (Digital Signal Processing) approach. By designing the chip exclusively for DMT functionality, PairGain achieved full-featured functionality without sacrificing on transistor count, chip size and power dissipation. FALCON has been designed to be far more programmable than traditional ASICs, allowing straight-forward adaptation to support future ADSL standards or extensions. The traditional DSP approach starts with a general purpose microchip and requires more programming and additional chips for maximum DMT performance.

System-Level Products

PairGain plans to integrate its DMT ADSL technology into several of its own product lines as well as those of strategic partners. Forthcoming PairGain products include a next generation xDSL access system that will be capable of supporting thousands of subscribers simultaneously. FALCON will also be deployed in next-generation Megabit Modems that will be significantly smaller and higher performance than any xDSL modem available today. PairGain also intends to make FALCON available to strategic partners to develop DMT ADSL modules for telephony switching equipment and digital loop carrier systems. FALCON will also allow for low cost implementations such as internal PC-card modems or designs on the PC motherboard itself..."
