Rim Semiconductor has entered into an agreement to evaluate the next generation Cupria IPSL solution in the service network of Monroe Telephone of Monroe, Oregon. Rim Semi’s Cupria IPSL solution allows service providers to effectively increase the bandwidth and extend existing copper plant beyond current technologies. Cupria™ adheres to the framework established by the IPSL SIG, is optimized for today’s Internet Protocol-based networks and is ideal for high bandwidth, high quality-driven applications such as Internet protocol television over existing copper networks.

Monroe Telephone is a privately held communications company that provides voice, broadband data and video services to its customers in the Monroe, Oregon area, which lies approximately 100 miles Southwest of Portland. Despite the relatively small size of this triple play telecommunications firm, Monroe has been an early adopter of technologies such as VoIP, IPTV and in-home, wireless video and data networking. The Wall Street Journal profiled Monroe’s innovation in an article a few years ago.
