Conexant Delivers Pre-Certified External V.92 USB Modem Platform
Monday March 3, 8:00 am ET
Production-ready Design Allows Manufacturers to Capitalize on Emerging Market
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Conexant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CNXT - News) today announced that it has leveraged its extensive experience working with leading personal computer (PC) manufacturers and expertise in analog modem technology to develop a complete design platform for V.92 dongle modems fully compatible with worldwide standards. The external dongle modem enables consumers to easily connect their notebook and desktop computers to the Internet over standard telephone lines. Conexant has already pre-certified the dongle modem to ensure compliance with country-specific PTT regulations worldwide, which allows manufacturers and retailers to deliver products to market faster.
The production-ready modem dongle platform is based on the company’s highly reliable V.92 modem and SmartDAA® semiconductor solutions, and includes a universal serial bus (USB) 2.0 interface. As a complete turnkey platform, including drivers and a user’s manual, there is no design or development required on the part of PC and peripheral manufacturers. Product developers simply use the design platform as their “blueprint,” which allows them to lower product development costs and bring the external dongle modem to production more quickly.
“There is a growing trend within the industry to only offer dial-up functionality in notebooks as an optional feature, which is creating a new market for portable analog modems,” said Bernd Lienhard, senior vice president and general manager of Conexant’s Imaging and PC Media business. “Using our design platform, manufacturers and retailers can quickly and economically develop stylish, compact dongle modems that allow them to capitalize on this emerging business opportunity.”
Analog technology continues to be a ubiquitous, low-cost Internet connectivity option, particularly for consumers in geographies with a limited broadband access infrastructure. Even in countries with well-established DSL and Wi-Fi networks, dial-up technology remains a viable solution for business travelers and other users who need a dependable Internet access alternative.
The new dongle modem has been designed to meet or surpass the high technical and quality standards required by leading PC OEMs, including rigorous safety and electromagnetic emission guidelines. It is also being certified by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the Federal Communications Commission, and European Economic Area (CE). To promote brand identity, the dongle modem can be easily customized with a manufacturer’s or retailer’s company colors and logo.
The universal design platform is based on Conexant’s CX93010 modem chip and CX20548 SmartDAA® 4 line-side device. The CX93010 complies with industry-standard V.92 specifications. The CX20548 is based on Conexant’s fourth-generation direct access arrangement (DAA) technology, which is already being used by top PC OEMs worldwide. Direct DAA technology enables a semiconductor chip to connect PCs and peripheral devices to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) for telecommunications services.

I believe that exec salary and perks should be tied to performance..as guaged by the SP.. if that happened, management might be better motivated to get off their rusty butts and get some better decisions decided.
Manufacturing dial up modems in the face of swiftly increasing of broad-band use is an exzmple. 56K modems are a ten-year old technology.
This company is one big sumbich..no excuse for becoming a penny stock. Reverse split to reduce the number of shares could be a positive move.
We should hope that bankruptcy is not in the future. In that case, the shareholders can only lose it all. The Company could survive, but owned by the creditors.
What i find is a good strategy is small investing. I rarely put more than 1k on any 1 stock. Those that I have, i took got burned. Now I ensure that I am spread more diversely over a variety of stocks from pennyland to bigboard.
Take a look at my link below. I started posting my actual trades. This may help.
I agree with you Troy,
CNXT will go up eventually. It's just that I'm not
an investor anymore in ANY kind of stock...I've lost
to many 10's of thousands of dollars trying to make
money in this market and I've done everything that
I can think of from trusting CEO's to taking SUPER
expensive trading classes and I've even tried averaging
down, but, I've found what works the best for me is
to buy when I SEE that it's going up and SELL when
I can SEE it's goin down.
I know that is painfully simple but I only average up
that way and I've found I lose a LOT less money.
I STILL lose money mind ya, but, as you can see in
this case, it's for pennies any more....not dollars.
catman...ISYA
PS...be real careful with that "you don't lose until ya
sell" mentality, especially if you are averaging down
on these penny stocks...it's VERY dangerous and I have
a list of looser stocks as long as my arm to prove it.
GLTY
OK...good luck in your future investments.
I think CNXT is worth holding at this point. Its not a loss until you sell. I've been adding to my position.
I guess we all have a different view of what is in store for them. I think it is going to be positive from these levels.
TROY
I got out today with a 2cent loss.eom
I think a really bad day or news would push this to about .55-.58 cents. This is going to be the bottom we've tested already. Clearly they are not going to go bankrupt. Their IP is worth a fortune. If they can show 1 more q of stengthening financials, someone will buy them out. I am putting a 75% chance of buy out by EOY. Just my 2 cents.
ya think ? I've been surprised at how well it's held
up to all the bad news at this level...the S-8 was issued
@ .65 so we have plenty of support...still, my stops are
pretty tight here.
you must have patience my friend,Conexant needs to reorganize and they are not going out of business.so just hang in there my friend.
buy and hold...I've been doin dat...
when do you think I'll be able to take the box knife away
from my wrist ? I felt like I was being boiled in oil
for the last two days and now THIS S-8 comes out after
hours.
My pecans ache.
R/S, S-8, what's next ?
catman...ISYA
PS...sure looks like the double bottom is going to get
tested with 12% delusion, somebody pour me a warm bath.
CNXT is a good buy and hold stock imo.
i wish i could. It wasn't listed under cnxt. It was something like "companies likely to be bought out in 08"
I guess the author does this yearly with a technical scan and cnxt looked valuable from an LBO point of view
i'll search again
Really, Motley Fool has them on a list? Can you find and post a link to it, or copy and paste it here. Thanks.
Sid
yeah
me too
i'd love to see a 7 dollar close
BTW, motley fool a month or so ago, put cnxt in the list of companies likely to be bought out. I am loading the boat with as much sub buck as I can
I am holding. Bought a slew of CNXT at .65
I'd love to see a .7 close.
this is a long term hold...2-5 dollars within a year is my target

all technicals still STRONG. Slow STO turned up.

read my DD....it took me 6 weeks to get ahold of someone. THERE is really NO info out there. They stated 30 to 40 cent buyout of existing 41M shareholders. My independent calc came to 40 cents. Either way they have deadlines to follow since they've already emerged from bankrupcy. The stock is merely a technicality and is not linked to the company anymore. Its a bizzare situation.
TRoy
We may see .90c today....
I noticed your pick of Bally....I traded them a couple years ago before they went into bankruptcy. I'm a watcher of them at this point...
check out my board
I'm on fire
Called .57 on cnxt last week (day before run)!
all indicators still looking very positive. Showing no signs of letting up. I'm holding out for at least a buck.
To get an idea of what and where this ones' going....
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=25648353
This stock should be on everyone's radar for next week, I know its on mine...........
Charts will get more people in. I think RSI turned positive today. So many people will see that as a buying signal.
ABSOLUTLY NOT
I think a buck is easy here in short term
If you think 65% return is ok.
i think today as long as it stays strong will get peoples attention for tomorow. i couldnt get in at 57 thoug, but 61. not to bad
oh yeah
I've been buying all down here. I have a board where just yesterday I posted .57 is a BUY!!!!!!!
made some nice green so far today...
made some nice green so far today...
lok at it now, its ready for the riskier players and almost for poeple who use the rsi as confirmation
