TWO MEMOTEC PRODUCTS SUPPORT CONEXANT'S AUTOBAUD.Memotec Communications Inc. (TSE See Tokyo Stock Exchange. TSE 1. See Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). 2. See Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE). :MCM (MultiChip Module or MicroChip Module) A chip package that contains several bare chips mounted close together on a substrate (base) of some kind. ), a worldwide leader in integrated access solutions, has announced that two of its products support AutoBaud(TM) technology developed by Conexant Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:CNXT) to speed synchronous digital subscriber line See DSL. (communications, protocol) Digital Subscriber Line - (DSL, or Digital Subscriber Loop, xDSL - see below) A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and (SDSL See DSL. SDSL - Single-line Digital Subscriber Line ) service deployments and interoperability. By adopting Conexant's ZipWire(TM) SDSL modem solutions, which include AutoBaud technology, Memotec offers customers greatly expanded interoperability with a wide range of central office systems, while also providing faster DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary connect times, quicker recovery from circuit changes and freedom from time-consuming pre-provisioning. SDSL is a high-speed Internet See broadband. access technology that operates at a variety of data-transmission speeds. AutoBaud technology allows different SDSL equipment to automatically determine the highest available line rate for an optimal connection, making all SDSL equipment truly interoperable. "Providing integrated voice and data access solutions is our focus," said Mark Silverman president of Memotec. "With the upcoming addition of Conexant's xDSL and AutoBaud technology into our CX950 multiservice access switch and future products, our customers can be assured they will be getting an interoperable solution enabling them to connect at the highest possible data rates." "By working together using AutoBaud technology, Conexant and Memotec will help bring quicker connection times and less installation hassle to carriers, Internet service providers Internet service provider (ISP) Company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. For a monthly fee, ISPs provide computer users with a connection to their site (see data transmission), as well as a log-in name and password. and end users," said Mark Steenstra, director of SDSL marketing for Conexant's Network Access Division. "AutoBaud enables true product interoperability, nearly eliminating concern over compatibility between the modem/integrated access device and the carrier's central office equipment." Conexant's AutoBaud technology is designed to significantly enhance the connection set-up process between SDSL equipment operating at any one of the line rates that SDSL technology supports, from 144 Kbps to 2320 Kbps, and to reduce time-consuming, manual-line qualification. AutoBaud allows carriers to automatically qualify and determine the maximum data rate supported by the line, alleviating the need for sending a service technician. In addition, AutoBaud enhances interoperability by allowing the premises device to sense central-office equipment in use, thus enabling it to load the appropriate Layer 2 protocols prior to the connection being established. AutoBaud technology was endorsed in October 1999 by a group of telecommunications companies as the basis for a hardware-independent DSL interoperability platform. Conexant offers the industry's broadest line of multi-megabit xDSL products for high-bit rate DSL (HDSL See DSL. HDSL - High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line ), asymmetric DSL (ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ) and SDSL connectivity. The company's ZipWire SDSL family has been adopted by the industry's top competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), who use Conexant's solutions for delivering rate-selectable Internet access See how to access the Internet. and other business connectivity applications like telecommuting telecommuting, an arrangement by which people work at home using a computer and telephone, transmitting work material to a business office by means of a modem and telephone lines; it is also known as telework. and branch office support.
