Texas Instruments and Siemens to Cooperate on ADSL G.Lite
PR Newswire - April 22, 1999 08:16
New Solution Delivers World's Highest Port Density With Fewest Components
NICE, April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN) and Siemens Information and Communication Networks Group announced today the development of a highly-integrated line card for Siemens EWSD central office switches. The line card uses asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) G.Lite technology, which supports voice and data communications simultaneously in accordance with ADSL G. Lite specifications.
Based on TI's TMS320C6000 digital signal processing (DSP) technology and G.Lite software, the Siemens line card implementation currently supports two subscriber modems per DSP, the highest density available in the industry today. It will allow service providers to equip their EWSD switching systems for DSL technology without having to fit extra racks or new cabling at the local exchange.
Combining Siemens leadership position in switching with TI's leadership in digital signal processing solutions in this advanced implementation of G.Lite will enable high bit-rate access to the Internet while eliminating the need for a service splitter at both ends of the wire.
The performance of TI's 'C6000 DSP allows cost-effective deployment with reduction of space, power and cost. TI's fully programmable chipset provides a future-proof solution that can be upgraded in the field via software download. The TI chip enables Siemens to accomplish the first fully integrated silicon G.Lite solution for the upcoming merger of voice and data into the media network.
The G.Lite line card for EWSD supports eight subscriber access lines with voice and data interfaces, of which each two are realized in one TI DSP. The Siemens-TI G.Lite implementation allows fast access to the Internet without the need for a splitter (Network Termination, NT) at the two ends of the connection.
Siemens plans widespread introduction of the new G.Lite line card starting in November 1999.
