Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Memotec Communications, a leader in integrated access solutions, has announced that two of its products will support AutoBaud technology developed by Conexant Systems Inc. to speed synchronous digital subscriber line (SDSL) service deployments and interoperability. This partnership aims to provide customers with faster DSL connect times, quicker recovery from circuit changes, and freedom from time-consuming pre-provisioning. SDSL is a high-speed Internet access technology that operates at various data-transmission speeds, and AutoBaud technology enables different SDSL equipment to automatically determine the highest available line rate for an optimal connection.

Key Takeaways:

  • Memotec Communications has partnered with Conexant Systems Inc. to support AutoBaud technology, enabling faster SDSL service deployments and interoperability.
  • The partnership will provide customers with faster DSL connect times, quicker recovery from circuit changes, and reduced pre-provisioning efforts.
  • SDSL is a high-speed Internet access technology that operates at various data-transmission speeds, from 144 Kbps to 2320 Kbps.
  • AutoBaud technology allows different SDSL equipment to automatically determine the highest available line rate for an optimal connection, making all SDSL equipment truly interoperable.
  • The partnership is expected to benefit carriers, Internet service providers, and end-users by providing a more efficient and seamless connection process.
  • Memotec's CX950 multiservice access switch and future products will soon integrate Conexant's xDSL and AutoBaud technology, ensuring interoperability and optimal connection speeds.
  • Conexant's AutoBaud technology was endorsed in October 1999 by a group of telecommunications companies as the basis for a hardware-independent DSL interoperability platform.
  • Conexant offers the industry's broadest line of multi-megabit xDSL products for high-bit rate DSL (HDSL), asymmetric DSL (ADSL), and SDSL connectivity.

Statistics:

  • Over 100,000 Memotec products have been installed in more than 94 countries worldwide.
  • Conexant Systems Inc. has a revenue run-rate of approximately $2 billion per year.
  • Conexant is the world's largest independent company focused exclusively on providing semiconductor solutions for communications electronics.
  • Conexant's xDSL products support a range of transmission speeds, from 144 Kbps to 2320 Kbps.
  • Conexant's AutoBaud technology enables different SDSL equipment to achieve an optimal connection speed, reducing time-consuming pre-provisioning efforts.
