Sound familiar? Intel invests in DSL chip maker By Mark LaPedus, Electronic Buyers' News INTEL HAS TAKEN an equity investment in a spin-off of Taiwan's United Microelectronics called Integrated Telecom Express (ITeX), a company that is developing and shipping a line chips for the booming DSL (digital subscriber line) market. Although financial details were not disclosed, Intel has been one of the major backers in getting the overall DSL market off the ground, namely the newly-established G.Lite standard, a DSL technology for the consumer market. G.Lite is a technology that provides high-speed, Internet-access in homes or business over existing copper wires at 1.5 megabits per second downstream -- roughly 25 times faster than today's analog modems. ITeX, based in Santa Clara, Calif., has recently begun shipping two G.Lite-compliant chips based on its own, proprietary scalable ADSL (asymmetrical DSL) modem technology. The company's first product is actually the world's first DSL chip set done in software -- not hardware. In other words, this product is a software-modem DSL chip-like product line that reduces cost and board space in systems, but it requires a ton of processing power from high-end microprocessors from Intel, Advanced Micro Devices, and others. Young Liu, president and CEO of ITeX, hinted that the Intel investment would accelerate the development of the company's software-modem DSL chip designs. "Our goal is to take advantage of increasing microprocessor performance to create affordable, next-generation digital modems designed to greatly improve the Internet access experience for home and small-office users," Liu said. ITeX also recently rolled out a hardware-based DSL chip set, a technology that was partially licensed from Alcatel. teledotcom.com
