The growing popularity of the Internet and the World-Wide Web has fueled a strong demand for high-speed digital communications over standard twisted-pair telephone lines. In response to this demand, telecommunications companies have offered ever-increasing bandwidth solutions. Indeed, emerging technologies facilitate data rates of 6 Mbps and higher. In this talk, we will describe current and future "xDSL" technologies and their potential applications.
Shawn McCaslin received a BSEE from UT Austin in 1982, and an MSEE from Rice University in 1987. He has 15 years of industrial experience, particularly in designing custom DSP for communications applications, as a result of which he has more than 10 patents issued or pending. He is now a design manager for Cicada Semiconductor in Austin, Texas.
