TrendChip Almost No. 2

HSINCHU, Taiwan -- TrendChip Technologies Corp., a leading supplier of xDSL CPE chipsets, is on path to becoming the world’s No. 2 in the field after scoring big in 2008. Shipments of ADSL CPE chipsets more than doubled last year, giving it a 20% market share and ranking it the world’s third-largest vendor of ADSL CPE chipset.

TrendChip’s total solution centering on its ADSL CPE chipsets has a wide range of applications: single-port bridges, routers, 802.11g/n gateways, software that complies with telecommunications standards. Thanks to its reliable quality and superior COE (central office equipment) interoperability, TrendChip has won extensive trust of telecommunications partners in many parts of the world. In particular, TrendChip’s chipset solution is now a paramount choice in China’s telecommunications market.

“Confronted with the global financial tsunami, it is a great challenge for chipset companies to keep up their growth momentum. TrendChip’s 100% growth in 2008 thus appears even more incredible,” says Kay Chung, an analyst with MIC (Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute). “Meanwhile, we expect one or two chip companies to be forced out of the market as the white-hot price competition intensifies.”

“What telecommunications clients truly want is an ADSL product with the best performance-to-price ratio and excellent interoperability,” TrendChip CEO Bomin Wang notes. “TrendChip’s more than 100% jump in 2008 shipments sends a clear message, that is, its well-rounded ADSL solution has won the trust of its telecommunications partners who in turn are willing to place more orders.”
