			<div><strong>Ultra-Fast Access Network Speeds with 200 Mbps Bonding and up to 150 Mbps Vectoring Paired with Industry-Leading Integration and Flexibility for In-home Networking</strong></div>
			<b>Munich/Neubiberg, Germany – May 14<sup>th</sup>, 2013 –</b> Lantiq, a leading supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies, today introduced the industry’s most integrated and highest performance VDSL chipset family, the XWAY™ VRX300. Gateway designs based on the new chipset can reach data rates of 200 Mbits (two pair bonded) and up to 150 Mbits (vectoring) while supporting an array of home networking features, including integrated Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Gigabit Ethernet and VoIP.
The new VDSL chipset provides broadband equipment vendors with the flexibility to produce routers and gateways that support advanced carrier services with fewer components than any other available chipset. All ITU-T standard frequency band plans (Profile 8, 12, 17 and 30MHz) are supported from a single hardware CPE design, and systems can be engineered for the widest possible range of customer premises network functionality.
<b>XWAY™ VRX300 Highlights and Benefits</b>
<ul><li>The chipset embodies the <link 1558 - internal-link "Opens internal link in current window">Lantiq AnyWAN™ system architecture</link>, which pairs the company’s advanced <link 2044 - - "Opens internal link in current window">XWAY™ GRX300</link> Communication Processor with the <link 2698 - - "Opens internal link in current window">XWAY™ VRX318</link> VDSL Transceiver chip. </li><li>This ITU-T standard compliant VDSL Vectoring and Pair Bonding chip enables carriers to deliver up to 150 Mbits and 200 Mbits performance, respectively, while PHY Layer Retransmission achieves highest possible media content Quality of Service (QoS).</li><li>High-performance dual-core CPU combined with Packet Hardware Acceleration architecture achieves industry leading CoreMark™ score, with integrated VoIP engine, Gigabit Ethernet switch and Energy Efficient Gigabit Ethernet Phy’s.</li><li>The embedded carrier-grade 802.11n Wi-Fi subsystem with offloading capability allows minimum load on the main CPU while Lantiq’s powerful and unique Beamforming technology provides longest reach for entire home Wi-Fi coverage independent of the Wi-Fi client used.</li></ul>
<b>Market Information </b>(IHS iSuppli)
VDSL-ready CPE system shipments are forecast by IHS iSuppli to grow from about 22 million in 2012 to more than 57 million in 2016. Based on its currently shipping <link 2712 - internal-link "Opens internal link in current window">VRX200 family</link>, Lantiq’s market share has increased in double digit percentages in each of the last two years.

			<div><strong>FALC™ ON-S single-chip GPON SoC expands Lantiq’s industry-leading GPON product family of highly integrated ONU chips</strong></div>
			
<b>Munich/Neubiberg, Germany – February 19th, 2013 – </b>Lantiq, a leading supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies, today introduced the FALC™ ON-S, a complete GPON Optical Network Unit (ONU) system-on-chip in a compact 11 x 11 mm package. Thanks to its small size, high integration and unique power saving features, FALC ON-S is a leading edge solution for Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules with fully integrated GPON Optical Network Unit functionality. The chipset enables a simple upgrade to GPON backhauling for a variety of broadband access systems like MDUs and WAN-agnostic gateways.
FALC ON-S’s small form factor and very low power consumption that exceeds the European Code of Conduct requirements for years 2013 and 2014 also make it an ideal solution for the emerging small cell wireless architectures. 
<b>FALC ON-S Highlights and Benefits</b>
<ul><li>Industry’s first fully standard-compliant GPON SoC with integrated laser driver and limiting amplifier; the integration of key optical components and control circuitry optimizes board space and reduces total system’s Bill of Material (BOM) cost. </li><li>Package size of 11 x 11 mm enables a complete GPON ONU in a SFP form factor.</li><li>Direct control of on-chip laser driver, including idle mode, significantly reduces power consumption.</li><li>Built-in hardware based Rogue ONU management for reliable isolation of disturbing ONUs and efficient protection of data services. </li><li>Applications supported include:<ul><li>Compact MDU cabinets in both pure fiber and mixed fiber/xDSL configurations</li><li>Fiber backhaul of cellular base stations including small cells</li><li>Customer premise equipment (CPE) with SFP socket, providing the flexibility to use one home gateway design to support FTTH, xDSL or other network technologies</li></ul></li></ul>
<b>Market Information</b>
Infonetics Research predicts continued rapid growth in the global GPON market. Infonetics analyst Jeff Heynen reports that GPON ONT port shipments totaled about 17.5 million in 2012, up 127% from 2011, and he forecasts GPON ONT ports to further grow to 26.8 million by 2016. 
<b>Comments</b>
<b><i>Dirk Wieberneit, Lantiq Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) Business Unit:<br /></i></b>“With continued expansion of fiber networks worldwide and the accelerating transition from EPON to GPON to provide better performance and QoS, broadband access vendors offering equipment with SFP connectivity can easily upgrade to GPON now. The innovations delivered by FALC ON-S enable our customers to maintain technology leadership in the high growth market of FTTx deployments.”
