Infineon Introduces Industry`s Smallest Eight-Channel T1/E1/J1 Framer and Line Interface Chip for Ch
Munich, Germany December 9, 2004 Infineon Technologies AG (FSE/NYSE: IFX), the worlds leading supplier of ICs for T/E carrier grade telecom systems, today introduced OctalFALC, the industrys smallest FALC® (Framer and Line Interface Unit Component) offering eight ports per chip. The latest member of Infineons FALC product family doubles the density per chip used in universal line cards and reduces the bill of material by around 15 percent. OctalFALC addresses the growing global voice and multimedia traffic over fixed and mobile telephone networks; in 2003 worldwide voice traffic alone amounted to nearly 200 billion minutes. On average, three in every four of the worlds 19 million cellular base-stations that are used to transport wireless voice and data communication are equipped with ICs from Infineon.
OctalFALC is the industrys first eight channel, single-chip component that uses arbitrary input clocks and integrates analog switches, resulting in reduced circuit board complexity and bill of material. With eight ports on a footprint of 289 square millimeters, OctalFALC offers twice as many channels in almost the same space as previous generations. It supports all three Primary Rate standards T1/E1/J1 and is ideally suited for applications such as 2G/3G Wireless Base Stations, DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexers), Digital Access Cross-Connect and DLC (Digital Loop Carrier) systems.
A recent report issued by the market research firm Gartner Dataquest expects an annual growth rate in the deployment of T1/E1 ports of 10 percent per year worldwide, mainly driven by advanced services offered over 3G cellular networks - such as short text messages, images, and even video.
Designers of T1/E1 line cards have four main criteria when selecting components: time to market, small size, low power and specification compliance. The Infineon OctalFALC meets all of these criteria, with software compatibility to recent FALC versions, state-of-the-art packaging and process technology, said Christian Wolff, Vice President of the Wireline Communications Business Group and General Manager of the Access Business Unit at Infineon Technologies.
T/E carrier systems carry the bulk of telecommunication voice and data traffic in both wireless and wireline core networks. As the number of cellular and fixed-line telephone connections and multimedia traffic continues to increase, service providers need to expand their networks either by incorporating additional T/E systems or by upgrading existing infrastructure. By using OctalFALC-enabled line cards, service providers can double the networks port density without placing additional equipment in the field and reduce labor costs while achieving faster time to market.
