Excess Bandwidth Corp. develops algorithms that enable the connection of Internet voice and data services to multiple appliances over copper twisted-pair wires, and implements those algorithms in high-performance integrated circuits. It is the first company to develop technology that fully meets the G.shdsl/HDSL2 high-speed symmetric DSL (digital subscriber line) specification (defined by international standards bodies) for transmitting high-speed voice and data over a single pair of wires. Founded in 1998, Excess Bandwidth is a privately held, venture capital-funded company.
