Texas Instruments is best known for developing calculators, but recently TI has begun to expand their product lines. TI created the technology used in DLP television, and now a technology that boosts DSL bandwidth up to 200mbps. Texas Instrument is wasting no time by working to make this technology a standard. Don't expect to see this technology next year. The first generation of products that will use this technology isn't expected till 2006.

Texas Instruments has developed new DSL technology that will make it easier for phone companies to boost their bandwidth offerings, so they can offer new services like voice and video over broadband connections. On Monday, the chipmaker announced Uni-DSL, or UDSL, which raises the bandwidth of digital subscriber line technology to the level necessary to deliver high-definition television (HD-TV) signals and other advanced video services, as well as voice and data.

The Uni-DSL technology, which is backward-compatible with standardized variations of DSL, including asynchronous DSL (ADSL) and very high-speed DSL (VDSL), will allow carriers to boost their bandwidth to 200mbps (megabits per second), said Pete Chow, Texas Instruments' chief technology officer for DSL technology.
