The Silicon Valley-based Analogix also has a development team in Beijing, China. Huawei-3Com plans to incorporate Analogix's D-PHY family of 5- and 10-gigabit-per-second physical-layer transceivers (SerDes) ICs into switch and router products now under development. The D-PHY family, which includes both backplane An interconnecting device that has sockets for printed circuit boards to plug into. Passive and Active Although resistors may be used, a "passive" backplane adds no processing in the circuit. and system-to-system serial interconnect (1) To attach one device to another.

Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). (DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive ) techniques to eliminate the signal integrity problems that characterize high-speed data transmission over copper media. Henry Tso, Huawei-3Com's chief technology officer and vice president of research and development, said, "Like most system vendors, we are always trying to improve performance and drive down system costs. The Analogix products' unique combination of advanced analog and DSP signal-conditioning capabilities, plus a built-in compatibility with legacy materials and line cards, makes them ideal for both system upgrades and cost-effective new designs. And their Beijing-based engineering team will foster excellent communication and local support as we deploy the products in our systems."

Through Huawei-3Com, Analogix will gain early entry into the high-growth Asian networking market, which has seen virtually no impact from the economic downturn." About Huawei-3Com Huawei-3Com Co., Ltd., is a joint venture company established in November 2003 by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., and 3Com Corporation. The company offers enterprises of all sizes and public sector organizations in China and Japan a full portfolio of IP-based networking solutions and services that are innovative, feature-rich and offer superior return on investment. Huawei-3Com brings its products to market worldwide through strategic OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and relationships. The company has approximately 1,500 employees and has its principal operations in Hangzhou, China. For further information, please visit http://www.Huawei-3Com.com. About Analogix Semiconductor Analogix Semiconductor, Inc., founded in March 2002, manufactures high-performance analog mixed-signal semiconductors. Its initial products are high-speed physical-layer transceivers (SerDes) that extend the performance and reach of backplane and system-to-system interconnect over copper media. Analogix products combine advanced analog with digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to offer interconnect speeds of up to 10Gbps. Target customers include enterprise and carrier networking, storage and server system vendors. Analogix is based in Santa Clara, Calif., with development offices in Beijing, China. The privately-held company, which has 40 employees, has raised $10 million from Woodside Fund, Doll Capital Management and IDG IDG International Data Group IDG Integrated Drive Generator IDG Installation Design Guide IDG Internet Discussion Group IDG Inset Dielectric Guide IDG International Dangerous Goods (mail, shipping) Technology Venture Investment.
