Ikanos Velocity(TM) Broadband Chipset Receives Product of the Year Award
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) FREMONT, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/22/10 --
Ikanos Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: IKAN), a
leading provider of advanced broadband semiconductor and software products
for the digital home, today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation's
(TMC®) INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine has
named the Ikanos Velocity? broadband DSL chipset as a recipient of
its 2009 Product of the Year Award. The Ikanos Velocity chipset is the
industry's lowest power product, providing superior performance with more
than 30 percent power savings over competing offerings. In addition, Ikanos
Velocity includes Ikanos Quality Video
(iQV?) technology, which provides exceptional delivery of
data-intensive triple play applications, including multi-channel
high-definition (HD) IPTV, high-speed data transmission, video on demand
(VoD) and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
Ikanos Velocity family of robust, high-density central office (CO) devices
provide up to 100 Mbps symmetric bandwidth and operate at sub 1 Watt (W)
per port -- the lowest power consumption of any A/VDSL device on the
market. And the Ikanos Velocity chipsets are the first CO A/VDSL
semiconductor devices compliant with European Code of Conduct (CoC) power
consumption standards.
"INTERNET TELEPHONY is proud to grant Ikanos Communications a 2009 Product
of the Year Award for the Ikanos Velocity family of A/VDSL central office
chipsets with Ikanos Quality Video (iQV). Ikanos has proven its commitment
to quality and excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace,"
said Rich
Tehrani, CEO of TMC. "We're happy to recognize and honor Ikanos for
their development of IP communications technology. We look forward to more
innovative solutions from them in the future."
Industry's Lowest Power VDSL Chipset
The Velocity chipsets are designed to help equipment manufacturers meet the
stringent energy efficiency standards that are emerging in Europe and many
parts of Asia, while providing service providers with dramatic cost
reductions for electric power and cooling. Fully compliant with the
European CoC power consumption levels (L0/L2/L3), the Velocity chipsets'
power profile is the industry's lowest at less than 1 W per port.
Ikanos' iQV Technology Enables Superior Stability & Robustness
Ikanos' iQV -- a combination of ITU G.inp compliant retransmission and
Rapid Rate Adaptation? (advanced ITU-T compliant SOS, SRA and Bitswap)
technologies -- enables the chipset to intelligently adjust its data rate
instantly to provide optimal quality in any line condition. With iQV, IPTV
services that may be severely degraded or even dropped by older/less
sophisticated chipsets will not only stay connected, but will show no
degradation in image quality, even in very noisy conditions. The enhanced
capabilities of iQV enable service providers to utilize existing copper
infrastructure to deliver bandwidth-intensive applications while addressing
link stability, a key concern for service providers when delivering quality
sensitive applications, like multiple channels of HD-video, high quality
VoIP and other revenue-enhancing advanced features.
Best-in-Class Performance
The symmetrical 100/100 Mbps and asymmetrical 100/50 Mbps Velocity chipsets
each provide dramatically improved long-range performance surpassing all
loop conditions specified in the Broadband Forum's WT-114 VDSL2 Performance
Test Plan. In addition, Ikanos' Velocity chipsets are fully compliant with
the WT-115 VDSL2 Functionality Test Plan, while operating in any of the
VDSL2 spectral profiles (8, 12, 17 and 30 MHz).
The Velocity chipsets are software compatible to Ikanos' prior generation
of CO chipsets, enabling system vendors to seamlessly migrate and take
advantage of the performance and stability of Ikanos' Velocity devices. In
addition, the Velocity chipsets -- which support all ADSL and VDSL profiles
-- are designed to complement Ikanos' line of innovative residential
gateway chipsets, including the highly integrated Fusiv® Vx180. When
combined in an end-to-end system, these devices enable optimal network
performance.
"We are very pleased that the editors at INTERNET TELEPHONY have awarded
the Ikanos Velocity broadband VDSL chipsets with their prestigious Product
of the Year award," said Craig Garen, COO at Ikanos. "INTERNET TELEPHONY's
endorsement validates Ikanos' leadership in providing innovative and robust
VDSL access devices that significantly improve performance and stability
and dramatically reduce the power required to deliver broadband services
around the world."
A complete list of Product
of the Year winners is published in the February 2010 issue of INTERNET
TELEPHONY magazine.
