Element 14 Ltd.

Element 14 Ltd. was a British developer of digital subscriber line (DSL) equipment created in July 1999 from the disposal of the assets of Acorn Computers.

[10] This situation led shareholders to press Acorn to sell its stake in ARM Holdings to provide a return on their investment.

[11] As part of the disposal of Acorn's assets, an independent company "owned by Stan Boland and certain senior management" were granted the option to purchase Acorn's silicon and software design activity for £1 million subject to obtaining external financing.

This reflected a shift towards the companies targeting of the DSP technology away from Media and towards DSL markets.

[16] Element 14 developed IPTV over standard phone lines and worked with telcos such as Canada's NBTel.
