Conexant Systems announced an exclusive modem technology supplier relationship with Nintendo to deliver 56k dial-up modem technology for Project Dolphin. The two companies also plan to collaborate on future broadband capabilities for Dolphin.

"Dolphin will combine Nintendo's world-class design and beloved franchise characters with the expansion of the world of gaming by an online network," said Genyo Takeda, Nintendo's corporate director and general manager of integrated research and development.

"Conexant's modem technology will connect Dolphin users to both the Internet and other gamers, creating a rich and dynamic entertainment experience. We are also excited about working with Conexant to bring broadband connectivity to our powerful new gaming platform."

"Conexant is pleased to be contributing our modem technology to Nintendo's exciting new video game console," said Matt Rhodes, senior vice president and general manager for Conexant's Personal Computing Division. "Conexant helped to re-shape personal computing in the 1990s with our low-cost, dial-up modem technology for Internet access and online connectivity, and now we are helping industry-leading consumer companies like Nintendo do the same for video gaming."
