Conexant Unveils ''Accelity-2'' Office Solution for Triple-Play Broadband Applications

By Norbert Kovacs, TMCnet Associate Editor


Conexant Systems (News - Alert), Inc., a worldwide leader in semiconductor solutions for broadband communications and the digital home, recently introduced the industry’s highest density and most interoperable VDSL2/ADSL2plus convergence solution for central office (CO) applications. The second-generation Accelity-2 chipset delivers downstream speeds beyond 140 megabits per second (Mbps) and is targeted at triple-play voice, video and data equipment. Applications include advanced broadband-enabled services including delivering television programming over Internet Protocol (IPTV (News - Alert)), video-on-demand, and online gaming. Alcatel-Lucent has selected Accelity-2 for its ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) DSL products for deployments in Europe and elsewhere.

Accelity-2 can also be used with the company’s integrated VDSL2 client-side gateway devices to provide an optimized end-to-end solution that provides operators with the higher speeds and extended reach needed to deliver multiple high-definition television (HDTV) channels to their subscriber base.

Conexant has shipped more than 200 million DSL ports to date and over 50 major service providers have used the company’s DSL solutions worldwide. The new Accelity-2 VDSL2 CO solution with its converged VDSL2 and ADSL capabilities provides the most flexible and lowest cost solution for provisioning multiple services and extending their service coverage.

Accelity-2 features a VDSL bonding capability that allows service providers to deliver IPTV services to a wider subscriber base. Bonding increases bandwidth capacity and extends reach by enabling the transmission of data over two lines instead of a single channel. This also allows service providers to expand their coverage area for existing services or migrate to higher data rates in the future to deliver additional HDTV channels using their existing VDSL2 CO equipment.

In addition to Accelity-2, Conexant offers a complete suite of broadband access technologies that enable the most advanced fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) system solution. The company’s solutions include high-throughput aggregation devices, passive optical network (PON) optical line and optical network terminal (OLT/ONT) chipsets, xDSL customer premises equipment (CPE) gateway solutions, voice digital signal processors (DSPs), and wireless local area networking (LAN) chips.

The Accelity-2 chipset which includes a VDSL2/ADSL2plus 8-port DSP, and a four-port analog front-end (AFE) chip is available in sample quantities now, with production scheduled for March 2007

Conexant’s innovative semiconductor solutions are driving broadband communications and digital home networks worldwide. The company has leveraged its expertise and leadership position in modem technologies to enable more Internet connections than all of its competitors combined, and continues to develop highly integrated silicon solutions for broadband data and media processing networks.

Conexant is a semiconductor company with an annual revenue run-rate in excess of $1 billion. To learn more, please visit www.conexant.com.

IMS EXPO
IP Multimedia Subsystems, a way to bridge the circuit-switched technology of yesteryear to the packet-switched realm of tomorrow, represents the lifeblood for service providers today. And the best way to understand all of the implications of this next-generation enabling technology is to make the IMS EXPO a must-attend event, collocated with INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO EAST, January 23–26, 2007. See you in sunny Ft. Lauderdale!
