To all,

I enjoy the product release of single-chip digital modem from ADI - What's the market potential ?

Current RAS modem solutions require multiple chips to perform all the
modem functions, while the new ADI offering uses only one chip. A major benefit of the one-chip design is that 24 to 48 modem ports can fit in a space that now holds 12. This translates into meaningful real estate or space savings. Smaller than any known digital modem processor, the ADSP-21mod870 occupies just 0.4 square inches. In addition, it consumes only 140 milliwatts per port, less than one tenth that of currently available chip sets for RAS modems. Further, at $28, the ADSP-21mod870 offers the lowest price per port - one-third less than the next lowest priced solution.
The ADSP-21mod870 is based on digital signal processing (DSP) technology that enables the chip to be programmed on the fly to handle any modem protocol. The design leverages ADI's leadership in programmable DSP and memory integration, eliminating the need for external controller and memory chips. Whether it is V.34, 56 kbps, fax or ISDN, the ADSP-21mod870 instantaneously selects the proper code and protocol and connects the user dialing the Internet. This key benefit eliminates the ISP's need to allocate modems to a specific protocol, which results in greater flexibility. This allows for more efficient use of resources and translates into cost savings through improved operating efficiencies.
