TI (Dallas, Texas) had been a ''well-established'' provider of DSL CPE products. Infineon (Munich, Germany) plans to continue supporting TI's product portfolio and existing customer designs.

Infineon is a major player in DSL. "Combining Texas Instruments' DSL CPE products with Infineon's innovative roadmap leads to a unique end-to-end offering for DSL customers," said Hermann Eul, executive vice president of Infineon's management board and president of the Communication Solutions business group, in a statement.
