Conexant Systems (News - Alert) Inc., a provider of audio and imaging technologies, has announced a new line of low-power, VoIP-enhanced fax modem chips: the CX95710 (a data pump solution) and the CX95810 (an AT command device). Both chips are designed to support the growing demand for VoIP network solutions and both offer advanced low power modes that exceed Energy Star 2.0 requirements. These chips are meant to reduce carbon footprints, conserve resources and minimize environmental impact - all while lowering operating costs.

Conexant looks to enhance its fax modem products with introduction of these two new chips. Both devices are suitable for multi-function printer (MFP) manufacturers, who are looking for ways to decrease power consumption wherever possible. The CX95710 and CX95810 use 40 percent less power compared to previous generations.

As the communications landscape quickly evolves into an all IP market, Conexant's new fax modem product family hopes to offers best-in-class VoIP performance optimized for both traditional analog phone lines and VoIP networks.

Conexant's fax solutions feature SmartDAA 4 technology for worldwide compliance; compliant handsets through external Codec; ITU-T V.34 Half-duplex, V.17, V.29, V.27ter, V.21 modulations for fax operation; and enhanced performance on packet network phone lines.

Kenneth Chuang, general manager for Conexant's fax and modem unit said in a statement, "All of our ImagingSmart solutions are designed from the ground up with our customers in mind, and fax modems are no exception. Conexant looks at the total system both in terms of cost and design and embedded software development effort. We have a long history of technological innovation and leadership in modem technology, and are committed to investing in and supporting the fax modem market. Our fax solutions ensure quality fax operation over evolving IP networks the world over."
