Ikanos Has Now Shipped More Than 4 Million Ports of Its Fiber-Fast Broadband Chipsets Worldwide.FREMONT, Calif. -- Ikanos' Shipments Continue to Grow as Total Sales Jump from 3 Million to 4 Million Ports since June 2004 Ikanos Communications Ikanos Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: IKAN) develops chipsets that enable carriers to offer Fiber Fast™ bandwidth and high-speed network processing for enhanced triple play services. , developer of Smart Silicon for Profitable Broadband(TM), today announced that worldwide shipments of its fiber extension and VDSL See DSL. VDSL - Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line chipsets have exceeded 4 million ports since volume production began less than 24 months ago. Ikanos continues to realize a rapid adoption curve, with total shipments jumping from 3 million to 4 million ports since June of 2004. Ikanos is a leading developer and provider of highly programmable semiconductor chipsets that enable fiber-fast broadband connections over carriers' existing copper telephone lines. This fiber-fast speed lets carriers compete effectively with cable and satellite providers for the delivery of popular broadband applications such as HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates and the triple play of voice, data, and video. "We believe that our solution helps telecommunication companies remain competitive against cable and satellite providers," said Richard Sekar, vice president of marketing at Ikanos. "We strive to continually increase the performance of our fiber extension and VDSL-DMT VDSL-DMT Very-High-Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line-Discrete Multi-Tone chipsets, so equipment vendors can build products that support the latest high-speed applications. In addition, the built-in programmability of our chipsets ensures that vendors can customize their products to meet the needs of global markets." Several major carriers worldwide have tested and qualified Ikanos technology for mass deployment in their networks, a process which can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Ikanos' programmable chipset technology now supports equipment in the fastest carrier networks in the world -- notably in Japan, Korea, and Europe.
