Application Brief
Telecommunications
Telecommunications is one of the
fastest growing industries in the world.
Telecommunications carriers are expanding
their data transmission capabilities by
replacing copper wires with fiber optic cables.
In some areas, carriers are extending fiber
optic cable to residential customers, enabling
them to offer cable television, video-ondemand, faster high-speed Internet and
conventional telephone communications over
a single line.
The growth and innovation of the telecom
industry has enabled people to communicate
across the globe and access endless
amounts of information over the Internet.

Robotics
Today, robots are in widespread use,
performing jobs more reliably, accurately
and more cost effecively than humans.
As technology becomes more complex
and refined, many industrial applications
require increasing intelligence. Through the
use of precisely controlled mechanisms,
sophisticated robotics perform tasks either
autonomously or networked with other
systems. Robots are provided with large
amounts of data which is processed with
computation-intensive algorithms. Multitasking
embedded solutions—providing high levels
of real-time computing performance—
are needed to fulfill robotic application
requirements.
