Infineon Enhances Multi-Standard ADSL & POTS Platform For Next Generation Packet-Voice and Data Networks.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUPERCOMM 2003 ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 2, 2003 Infineon Technologies (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :IFX)(FSE FSE 1. feline spongiform encephalopathy. 2. focal symmetrical encephalomalacia. :IFX) today announced the IPVD IPVD Ionized Physical Vapor Deposition IPVD Integrated Packet Voice and Data (TM) (Integrated Packet Voice and Data) platform, an enhancement to its field-proven solution for IVD (Integrated Voice and Data) line cards. The IPVD platform combines Infineon's new high-integration GEMINAX(TM) MAX ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line chipset with the VINETIC(TM) family of integrated voice processors. It provides manufacturers of access systems with a flexible, future-proof and cost-effective solution for integrated ADSL and voice line cards that are compliant with all current standards and ready to support the transition to packet-voice telephony and higher data rate applications, including video delivery. Infineon pioneered IVD technology several years ago, and is the only semiconductor manufacturer that offers a one-stop-shop for analog voice, ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. and xDSL solutions, eliminating many of the problems encountered during the integration of multi-vendor chipsets. Infineon will demonstrate triple-play voice, video and data using the IPVD platform in its booth (#22637/22737) at Supercomm 2003, June 3-5 in Atlanta. The IPVD platform offers a single chipset solution for existing as well as upcoming standards. For data it supports ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+, and for voice TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. and Packet-Voice, as well as ISDN. The modular nature of the platform allows system vendors to design ADSL, POTS, ISDN, ADSL-over-POTS, and ADSL-over-ISDN line cards based on a single chipset. Thus, manufacturers can shorten time to market and leverage development investment across all end applications, including Central Office (CO), Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer A Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) allows telephone lines to make faster connections to the Internet. It is a network device, located near the customer's location, that connects multiple customer Digital Subscriber Lines (DSLs) to a high-speed Internet (DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) A central office (CO) device for ADSL service that intermixes voice traffic and DSL traffic onto a customer's DSL line. It also separates incoming phone and data signals and directs them onto the appropriate carrier's network. See DSL. ), Digital Loop Carrier In telephone communications, a technology that increases the number of channels in the local loop by converting analog signals to digital and multiplexing them back to the end office. (DLC) and Multi Service Access Platform (MSAP (MultiService Access Platform) An integration device located on a carrier's premises that supports a variety of protocols. It acts like a central switch between all of the customer's communications technologies and the carrier side, which is the PSTN, the ). "Service providers are demanding converged services in their networks, and therefore communication system providers are transitioning from traditional DSLAMs and DLCs to the next generation of MSAPs," said Christian Wolff, Vice President of Infineon's Wireline Communications Business Group and General Manager of Access Products. "As telcos and ISPs move to adopt business models that combine packet voice with increasingly high speed DSL services, our customers can expedite designs and shorten time to market by using this single, market-proven platform." "Integrated Voice-Data systems are a growing market, as carriers look to build cost-optimized ADSL over POTS solutions at the CO," said Ken Furer, research analyst at International Data Corp. "Products like the Infineon IPVD platform anticipate the next step in integration and provide a natural transition for enhancing networks at the Loop Carrier level, where size and power join system cost issues as critical elements in system design." Infineon's IPVD supports traditional TDM as well as Packet-Voice in both Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Voice over ATM (VoATM) modes, without any hardware changes. It supports fully-integrated voice compression codecs (G.72x) and both near-end and far-end line echo cancellation according to G.168. Standard TDM voice requirements such as DTMF detection and Caller-ID generation are also integrated. Full software programmability of telephony parameters enables a single hardware design to be adapted to all worldwide requirements. Where required, the platform can provide extensive narrowband and broadband line testing features, enabling remote network supervision and control, and thereby offering further system cost reduction. By integrating both the POTS splitter and the voice processing DSP, the Infineon IPVD platform offers industry-leading density of approximately one square inch of board space per channel. Development Kit and Pricing An IPVD development kit is available to qualified customers at a price of $4500. The kit includes an IPVD evaluation board, development software tools and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The documentation includes reference design schematics, layout recommendations and BOM.
