TrendChip Delivers World's First ADSL2+ Personal Modem Chipset to Enable 'Broadband Access for Every Home' for Developing Countries

TrendChip Technologies Corp., a leading broadband IC design company in Taiwan, announced today its new generation of ADSL2+ chipset -- TC3168 ADSL2+ Personal Modem. TrendChip's TC3168 ADSL2+ Personal Modem is designed to enable "Broadband Access For Every Home" for developing countries. It uses an innovative, patent pending architecture to reduce the Residual Bill of Material (RBOM) cost by up to 40% in comparison to traditional ADSL2+ modems.

"To minimize the information divide, the whole IT industry is working together to reduce the cost of PC and broadband access," said Mr. Shinjou Fang, President and CEO of TrendChip, "our new TC3168 ADSL2+ Personal Modem chipset uses a patent pending architecture to reduce RBOM by up to 40%. It will enable the most affordable broadband access in a single-PC home, which is typical in developing countries. We are glad that we can contribute to minimizing the information divide."

TC3168's patent pending architecture allows the chipset to operate without on-board SDRAM and FLASH memory and results in the industry's smallest ADSL2+ CPE system PCB size. TC3168 applies TrendChip's field proven ADSL2+ Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) technologies, with which six million chipsets have been shipped, and complies with all of the existing ADSL2+ standards.

TC3168 samples are available now. A live demonstration will take place during 6th - 8th June in Computex/Taipei. Welcome to visit our show room during the exhibition to have a real feeling.

Show Room address: Room# 2B-17, Exhibition Hall 1 Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC).
