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

June 01, 2006

    HSINCHU, Taiwan, June 1 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
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).
