Ikanos Cites Korean Traction for its 100 Mbps Chipsets

Ikanos Communications cited two South Korean manufacturers that are using its VDSL chipsets in a range of high-speed access platforms.



Dasan Networks is employing Ikanos' 100 Mbps programmable Fx and FxS chipsets in its new high-speed Internet access solution. Aimed mainly at the worldwide broadband markets, the Dasan Networks solution will enable carriers to offer their Multi-Tenant and Multi-Dwelling Unit (MxU) customers Internet access at speeds of up to 100 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps upstream over ordinary copper telephone lines.



Millinet Co., another supplier of broadband equipment based in South Korea, is also using Ikanos Communications' 100 Mbps programmable Fx and FxS chipsets in its latest high-speed product line. The companies said carriers purchasing the new Ikanos-based Millinet solutions can offer their subscribers up to 100 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps upstream. http://www.ikanos.com
