Conclusion

The telecom deregulation everywhere in the world generated two kinds of line needs. The

long ones are dedicated to the classic telecommunication networks while the short ones are

linked to the emerging remote applications. These quite new systems are based on optic

fiber, WLL, phone over TV network or over 50/60 Hz supply network. For both long and short

line applications, protection is one of the major issues. STMicroelectronics is the major

player in the telecom protection field for both wired and wireless equipment. As far as the

analog telecom lines are concerned, the LCP concept is well adapted to protect SLIC. The

LCP15xx and LCPx2-150B1 cover the protection of all the SLIC of the market.
