2/25/98 Bus. Wire 11:08:00 Business Wire Copyright (c) 1998, Business Wire Wednesday, February 25, 1998 AMD Joins Universal ADSL Working Group; New Consortium Working to Deliver Ultra-Fast Internet Access to Home AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 1998--Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD) ("AMD") today announced that it joined the Universal Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Working Group, a consortium of personal computer and communications leaders working to accelerate the adoption and availability of high-speed Internet access for the mass market. The goal of the Universal ADSL Working Group (UAWG) is to propose a simplified version of ADSL that will deliver to consumers high-speed modem communications over existing copper phone lines based on an open, interoperable standard. In the UAWG, AMD joins other PC industry leaders such as Microsoft, Compaq and Intel, along with telecommunications leaders Ameritech, Bell Atlantic, BellSouth, GTE, SBC Communications, Sprint, U.S. West, and a host of other international computing and communications leaders, including Alcatel, Ascend, Ericsson, Lucent, Nortel and Siemens. The UAWG will work to deliver a standard for consideration by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) this year for worldwide deployment. Full-rate ADSL rollouts are already underway by several service providers with the expectation that the UAWG version will enable wider expansion within the consumer market. "AMD intends to be a leading supplier of ADSL chip sets, and joining the UAWG is a step toward that," said Tom Eby, vice president of marketing for AMD's Communications Group. "With the implementation of industry standards, we can make high-speed data over copper wire a reality for our customers. AMD will focus on providing end-to-end solutions for in-home and wide-area networking supported by the personal computer, networking and telecommunications industries." "Because AMD is a major player in both communications and computing, AMD has the opportunity to quickly assume a leadership role in the UAWG's effort to bring significantly faster Internet access to homes and businesses over existing phone lines," said Bob Merritt, data communication analyst for Semico Research Corporation. "AMD's broad understanding of all the contributing technologies brings a significant value to the consortium during its crucial formative stages. AMD's history of providing high-performance, low-cost solutions in both computing and communications adds assurance that the critical design parameters will be met." AMD recently announced that it will begin producing ADSL chipsets based on Alcatel's industry standard Discrete Multitone (DMT) solutions. AMD plans to deliver these products in the second half of 1998. About ADSL ADSL technology maximizes the potential of existing copper telephone lines to give access to data, video services and the Internet at speeds up to 150 times greater than 56-kilobit-per-second modems. ADSL achieves this throughput by carrying data traffic outside the voice band. Customers can still use their existing analog telephones and simultaneously use the "always on" high-speed connection to the Internet, corporate networks or multimedia services. About UAWG The goal of the Universal ADSL specification work is to contribute an interoperable extension of the ANSI standard T1.413 ADSL, which will be proposed through the ITU standardization process to gain global acceptance and leverage current deployment of T1.413-based equipment by telecommunications carriers around the world. The UAWG will work to drive the interoperability of devices by sharing the working group's contributions widely and act as a forum for resolving intellectual property issues. About AMD AMD is a global supplier of integrated circuits for the personal and networked computer and communications markets. AMD produces processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices, and products for communications and networking applications. Founded in 1969 and based in Sunnyvale, California, AMD had revenues of $2.4 billion in 1997. NOTE TO EDITOR: Readers may obtain additional information by calling 800/222-9323 or 408/749-5703.
