Pair push for
next generation ADSL modems
Siemens subsidiary Efficient Networks and Texas Instruments are to collaborate on a new generation of ADSL modems for deployment worldwide
The collaboration will leverage both companies' ADSL expertise to supply service providers with innovative, high volume deployable modem solutions for today's demanding business environment. 'While the DSL market continues to grow at a healthy pace worldwide, the overall economic slowdown and consolidation within the CLEC segment of the market has caused instability in the DSL vendor market', said Pat Hurley, DSL Analyst at TeleChoice.

'With new standards for interoperability and performance being required from service providers, this collaboration positions us to exceed expectations and drive the evolving ADSL market worldwide'.
Efficient Networks will be developing products based on TI's family of ADSL CPE chipsets for bridges, routers and residential gateways.
TI's AR5 chipsets are based on TI's broadband communications processors, DSP-based ADSL physical layer (PHY) technology and firmware.
The chipset provides a complete system solution enabling Efficient Networks to quickly develop and deploy high-performance DSL products.
Additionally, because the AR5 has an open software architecture, Efficient Networks is able to add differentiating higher-layer networking and application software to TI's broadband communications processors.
'The combination of Efficient Networks' leading DSL market position and TI's robust interoperability and volume production capabilities should propel the DSL industry to the next level of worldwide deployments', said Greg Jones, general manager of TI's DSL Business Unit.
'By working together, we will ensure that the next generation of Efficient Networks' modems will address new market opportunities and expand their footprint'.
As a world leader in DSL CPE, Efficient Networks will offer a wide portfolio of DSL CPE products including single, dual and four-port routers for Annex A and Annex B deployments.
By enabling end-users to self-install, Efficient Networks' bridges and routers reduce the need of a truck-roll for onsite support by the service provider.
