(Nasdaq: IDTI - news), a leading communications IC provider, to announce the role of Nucleus in IDT's 79RP351 reference design for ADSL bridge and router applications. The IDT 79RP351 asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) reference design, powered by ATI's Nucleus PLUS real-time kernel and the Nucleus NET TCP/IP protocol stack (www.acceleratedtechnology.com ), provides a comprehensive, production-ready system solution that enables optimal development and flexibility as well as fast time to market. This streamlined development process is possible because the 79RP351 supports a complete integrated software solution and successfully incorporates DSL, Ethernet and USB interfaces. At the heart of the 79RP351 reference design is the 79RP351 integrated communications processor (www.idt.com ). Nucleus PLUS and Nucleus NET have been optimized for the 79RP351, targeting a range of customer premises equipment (CPE) applications from the simplest DSL modems to higher-end residential gateways and integrated access devices. Positioned to serve the growing demands of the networking and communications markets, ATI designed Nucleus to be flexible and scalable, yet robust and feature-rich. The combination of these characteristics with ATI's source code, no-royalty business model gives developers the perfect solution they need to develop ADSL bridges and routers. ``We are all affected by the lack of speed offered by conventional modem technology for communication over the Internet. In the past, ATI has been heavily involved in reference designs for DSL communications. This announcement realizes the next generation of those devices. It is especially gratifying to me since this joint solution strengthens the existing relationship between our two companies. We look forward to supporting IDT's customers for this design,'' said Neil Henderson, president of Accelerated Technology, Inc. ``IDT chose to partner with ATI because we recognized the value of its royalty-free business model with minimal upfront cost, as well as the small memory footprint and maturity of the Nucleus product,'' said Ian Ferguson, strategic marketing manager for IDT's Internetworking Products Division. ``Together, we provide a comprehensive solution for DSL bridge and router applications, enabling our customer base to meet challenging time to market project windows.''
