GlobeSpan Drives Down System Cost for ADSL PC Applications

RED BANK, N.J., Mar 21, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Modem manufacturers will now be
able to furnish service providers with robust and deployable multi-mode DSL
services at a cost reduction of up to 25% less than existing solutions. As part
of asserting its DSL leadership position for PC applications, GlobeSpan, Inc.
(NASDAQ: GSPN) is announcing a new highly integrated, fully programmable,
small-form-factor ADSL chipset. The Titanium PCI(TM) chipset reduces the
complexity of the system design and makes it easy for equipment manufacturers to
design a rapid time-to-market solution that meets service providers' increasing
demands for ADSL PC solutions.

The Titanium PCI(TM) chipset is based on GlobeSpan's software programmable
Titanium(TM) ADSL chipset, which supports all ITU and ANSI ADSL standards,
including G.992.1, G.992.2, ANSI T1.413 and ANSI TR-59. This chipset is
specifically targeted at desktop PCI cards, yet, due to its small-form-factor,
is also suitable for high density, low profile PC cards that are required by the
portable PC market. By providing multi-mode asymmetric options on a single card,
service providers can now offer a greater array of services to a broader range
of customers. The GlobeSpan Titanium PCI(TM) chipset provides a complete turnkey
reference design which aids equipment manufacturers in accelerating production,
thus speeding their entrance into the DSL market.

"GlobeSpan's goal is to accelerate the mass deployment of DSL and to provide
end-users with the ability to establish reliable high-speed Internet access at
affordable prices," reports Nizar Azzam, GlobeSpan's CPE Market Development
Manager. "The multi-mode Titanium PCI(TM) chipset enables equipment
manufacturers to quickly capture an even larger share of the rapidly growing
ADSL modem market."

Availability:

GlobeSpan's multi-mode Titanium PCI(TM) chipset is sampling now. Included with
the reference design are schematics, Gerber files, complete hardware
specifications, and a Windows-ready software driver along with dedicated
technical support to help bring customers' ADSL modems to market as quickly as
possible.
