I think 95% of that article is marketing fluff. What I did get out of it directly is that Westell has been working with Motorola testing a 1 Watt chip. What I got out of it indirectly is Westell has been sampling and testing the MOT chips at least before March 9 and to this day, three months later, has announced no working DMT product. Is there a problem??? Since the originator of the article is MOT, and they imply Westell is their primary tester, I conclude that Westell will get preferential treatment when it comes to first shipments. Its good to see Westell has not put their eggs all in one basket. TXN on the left, MOT on the right. Are we moving yet??? -Eric

Re: CopperGold Pat- What sticks out like a sore thumb 1 Watt New The CopperGold ADSL Solution is ideal for the central office, where power and board space are at a premium, as well as at the customer premises, where affordability and quality of service are driving factors. Dissipating just 1 watt, the CopperGold Transceiver is the industry's most highly integrated solution, embodying the digital bit pump, standard compliant data interface, and analog front-end (including A/D and D/A). Old Early proof of concept versions of ADSL modem chip sets required as much as 20 W average per line. These systems were implemented with off-the-shelf DSPs and discrete analog components, resulting in costly and power-hungry modems that never were intended for commercial deployment. The industry has come a long way since then, with current systems having cut the power consumption of ADSL modems in half. By the middle of 1997, with the introduction of Motorola's CopperGold ADSL solution, the power consumption will be cut in half again to less than 5 W (transceiver, line driver and communications controller). techweb.com Conscience from Vegas Trip: Semis to fall in 3rd Q, back up in 4th Q.
