Rim Semi achieves Best-In-Class Speed over Copper

First Implementation of IPSL Draft 1.0 Achieves Goal

PORTLAND, OR — Rim Semiconductor Company (OTCBB: RSMI) announced today that it has achieved best-in-class data speed on copper wire. The company’s draft Release 1.0 of the Internet Protocol Subscriber Line™ specification calls for a semiconductor to drive data at fiber-like speeds over the existing copper telephone lines. In line with the draft specification, Rim Semi’s Cupria™ transport processor is now able to drive data traffic at 40 megabits per second (Mpbs) 5,500 feet (1.67km) on 26AWG (0.40mm) telephone wire. Existing technologies are able to drive data 15 mbps at this distance on this wire type.

IPSL™ draft 1.0 is designed to be more appropriate for advanced telephone network services like internet protocol television (IPTV) than existing DSL technologies are. Rim Semi is the first company to build IPSL draft 1.0-compliant semiconductors for inclusion in a variety of telecommunications equipment products. The company 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. The Company is demonstrating IPSL 1.0 to telephone companies and to equipment makers in several countries.

“We are delighted that we are able to meet the demanding specification of IPSL,” stated Brad Ketch, president and chief executive officer of Rim Semiconductor, “Our technical team will continue to push the boundaries of data transmission across copper wire because 1.4 billion existing copper-based end users require it”.
