TrendChip Technologies Launches Next-Generation 11n ADSL2+ Turnkey Solution

HSINCHU, Taiwan, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- TrendChip Technologies Corp., a leading supplier of xDSL CPE chipsets, today announced the next generation ADSL2+ 11n WiFi gateway solution based on TC3162U ADSL chip. This, together with TC2206, teleco-class 10/100M Fast Ethernet switch, and telecommunication standards-compliant software, all on an industry-leading double layer PCB, offers the industry's best price-performance turnkey solution.

The next generation ADSL2+ 11n CPE solution, which is applicable for ADSL single-port 1T1R/2T2R and four-port 1T1R/2T2R 11n WiFi gateways, features WiFi function with real 802.11n performance via PCIe interface and supports a variety of peripherals via USB2.0 Host interface to meet customer demand for digital home applications.

China's population of Internet users jumped by approximately 30 percent year on year to 384 million at the end of 2009, an official report from the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) showed. The numbers establish China's position as the world's largest online community, more than the entire population of the United States. As China plans to roll out three-network convergence in five years to offer users a variety of services including voice, broadband Internet access and IPTV, Chinese operators are speeding up their broadband network infrastructure development for delivering digital home services, especially on IPTV , which is expected to create new growth opportunities for telecom broadband chip makers.

Bomin Wang, President of TrendChip Technologies Corp., commented: "In a competitive market where the three-network convergence policy has been put in place, China's telecom operators are considering 2T2R 11n as an essential specification in their new tenders to allow users to enjoy the convenience of high bandwidth and IPTV anywhere, anytime. The latest TC3162U launched by TrendChip Technologies, which is equipped with the most cost-effective PCIe 11n WiFi chip to provide real 11n performance, is an ADSL gateway solution delivering the best price-performance in the industry, and has therefore received enthusiastic response on the market."

"Furthermore, as 1T1R 11n is cheaper than 11g but can run three times as fast as 11g and offer much better transmission quality, several telecom customers have started to use the new TC3162U 1T1R solution to replace the existing 11g wireless gateways. Shipments are expected to start in the second quarter of 2010," added Wang.
