Plans Laid for Next Wave of DSL
PORTLAND, OR: August 24, 2007: Rim Semiconductor Company (OTCBB:
RSMI) announced today that it has readied Release 1.0 of the
Internet Protocol Subscriber Line™ specification. IPSL™ 1.0
allows data speeds as high as 384 megabits per second (Mpbs),
versus 100 mbps for the nearest similar technology, VDSL2. IPSL
1.0 also specifies data speeds of up to 35 mbps at distances
that are as far as 8,000 feet from the nearest telephone company
facility. This reach is designed to be more appropriate for
advanced telephone
network services like internet protocol television (IPTV) than
existing DSL technologies are.
Rim Semiconductor Company is the first company to build
IPSL1.0-compliant semiconductors for inclusion in a variety of
telecommunications equipment products. Rim Semi has used its
patented and patent-pending technologies to enhance data
protocols, modulation schemes, noise reduction algorithms and
other core technologies that together achieve results that are
far better than existing technologies. IPSL 1.0 will be
presented for ratification at the Fall 2007 meeting of the IPSL
Special Interest Group™. The Company is demonstrating IPSL 1.0
to telephone companies and to equipment makers in several
countries now.
"The IPSL Special Interest Group is actively seeking promoters
and adopters who want to build their businesses using IPSL”,
said Bill Narin, president of the IPSL SIG™. “We are confident that this new specification will usher in new
profit streams for telephone companies worldwide.”
“Although all of the Rim Semi board and management team have
been proponents of DSL for many years,” stated Brad Ketch,
president and chief executive officer of Rim Semiconductor, “the
breakthrough IPSL specification takes up where VDSL2 leaves off
and delivers the performance that today’s telcos need.”
