OT of Steve & Scrapps A Major Taiwan Modem Maker Selects ITeX for its SAM & Apollo 2 ADSL Chipset Solutions SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated Telecom Express, Inc. (ITeX) today announced its (SAM) Scalable ADSL Modem and Apollo 2 chipsets have been selected by Acer Netxus Inc., for the development of their ADSL modems. ITeX's SAM provides end users with an easy-to-use, always on, high-speed connection for Internet, remote access and multimedia applications. SAM leverages a small portion of a CPU's power to achieve scalable data rates of up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps upstream over existing standard telephone lines, as specified in ITU-T's G.lite standard. Because of SAM's host-based architecture, this ADSL solution is cost-effective, and also allows for easy software upgrades as needed in the future. ITeX's Apollo 2 is a T1.413 Issue 2, and G.lite ADSL chipset designed for internal ADSL PCI modem cards. Apollo 2 provides downstream transfer rates of up to 8 Mbps and upstream rates of 640 kbps. Apollo 2 eliminates the need for a dedicated microcontroller, allowing for a low-cost, high performance ADSL solution. Both SAM and Apollo 2 are compatible with Alcatel's DSLAMs deployed today by major operators around the world, including Pacific Bell, Southwestern Bell, Ameritech, BellSouth, Telia of Sweden, Singapore Telecom, British Telecom, Guangdong PTA, and others. "Acer wants to quickly deliver reliable, low-cost ADSL modems to the market, and this will soon be reality with ITeX chipsets," said Dr. Lance Wu, President of Acer Netxus Inc. Wu continued, "ITeX's very cost-effective chipsets will allow us to introduce ADSL modems to the market at a very appealing price, which was an important consideration in our selection of a chipset vendor." Jow Peng, Senior Director of Marketing at ITeX, "ITeX is pleased that we continue to be recognized for all the features our ADSL chips offer." Peng continued, "We have worked very hard to develop cost-effective chips because we firmly believe this is the key to enable the ADSL mass market. We've been able to do this based on our innovative solutions, such as our host-based, G.lite SAM solution, and our controllerless full rate/G.lite Apollo 2 solution.
