Texas Instruments has established a new InterOps Test Labs DSL interoperability program to help its customers accelerate operator qualification of products based on its chips. TI said that as operators upgrade and replace their infrastructure equipment, interoperability testing would ensure that new line cards work seamlessly with the DSL modems already being used by subscribers. The TI InterOps Test Labs DSL program has facilities in San Jose, California and Dallas, Texas and includes testing against more than 30 leading infrastructure line cards and over 250 unique DSL modems and routers with multiple code loads for each.
Separately, TI announced that over eight original design manufacturers (ODMs) in Asia are offering ADSL router products based on its R7 ADSL router-on-a-chip, which supports ADSL2, ADSL2+ and READSL (reach extended ADSL) to enable higher speeds and longer reach.
