RIM SEMICONDUCTOR COMPANY
CHOSEN BY TELECONNECT
Portland, OR --
(Business Wire) – May 14, 2008 -- Rim Semiconductor Company (OTCBB:
RSMI), a company that develops technology for telecommunications
service providers, is pleased to announce that Teleconnect GmbH
of Dresden, Germany, has chosen its Cupria™ transport processor
for its new product line of high-speed data equipment. This new
family of gigabit Ethernet transport equipment is being
developed by Teleconnect at the request of a large European
customer, which has not yet been formally announced by
Teleconnect.
The technical teams
at Teleconnect and Rim Semi believe that Rim Semi’s Cupria™
technology, combined with Teleconnect’s unique technology, could
deliver a performance breakthrough versus existing technologies.
Cupria will, in this application, displace a VDSL2 chipset that
was previously used by Teleconnect in its first, second and
third generation products.
“We evaluated existing VDSL2, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ chipsets, and
found that they were incapable of meeting our customers’ needs.
Only Cupria™ is capable of the performance that we require, and
we look forward to working with Rim Semi to deliver a compelling
new system to our customers with Cupria™ inside”, stated Dr.
Andreas Bluschke, General Manager of Teleconnect GmbH.
“Teleconnect is well known in Europe for its leading-edge
engineering skills and excellent customer relationships”, stated
Brad Ketch, president and chief executive officer of Rim
Semiconductor Company. “We are pleased to work with them to
deliver a breakthrough solution to its customers”.
