Telcordia Research Finds Rim Semiconductor's DSL Technology Delivers 200 Mbps
Former Bell Labs Validates Higher Delivery Speed and Better Data Quality of Rim Semiconductor's Products over VDSL2
By BusinessWire


PORTLAND, Ore., BUSINESS WIRE -- Rim Semiconductor's Embarq(TM) chips deliver up to 200 Mbps -- 100 percent faster than traditional VDSL2 technology. That is the conclusion of a research report from Telcordia Technologies, formerly Bell Labs. Telcordia found that semiconductors from Rim Semiconductor Company(TM) (OTCBB:RSMI), an innovator in video-over-copper technology, outperform VDSL2 chips in both speed and quality -- the two key technology issues for telecommunications companies trying to offer very high-speed data services, as well as video services, such as Internet Protocol Television (IPTV).

Overall, the study indicates that Rim Semiconductor offers better performance than competitive solutions to meet the demands of today's advanced broadband deployments. Specifically, Telcordia found that the Embarq product line delivers higher bit rates on both short and long copper loops than VDSL2 and higher data quality with fewer noise issues, improving the overall quality of service for end users. Embarq also coexists better with other technologies, including ADSL and fiber, due to its avoidance of low frequencies and its low power to avoid crosstalk, another issue impacting delivery quality.

"Rim Semiconductor has developed a new and very different very-high-speed DSL that achieves higher bit rates than VDSL2 on both short and long loops," says Dr. Kenneth J. Kerpez, senior scientist, Applied Research, Telcordia Technologies. "Carriers now have a powerful tool to offer a full range of services. The technology from Rim Semiconductor also has unique capabilities for carriers, including efficient modulation technology for higher speed transmission, and an on-the-fly adaptive equalization to limit noise that can cause service disruption on a line carrying IPTV signals."
