5V Technologies Chooses GIPS to Bring High Fidelity Voice-Processing Technology to Asian Manufacturers10 January 2006
Global IP Sound (GIPS), the leading
provider of embedded speech-processing solutions for the Voice over IP
(VoIP) market, today announced that 5V Technologies Ltd., a leading
Taiwanese chip developer, will integrate GIPS VoiceEngine Embedded into its
VoIP and VoWLAN System-on-Chip (SoC) offerings in the first quarter of
2006.
"Demand for SOC solutions worldwide is growing rapidly, and the Asian
markets are critical drivers of that growth," said Gary P. Hermansen,
President and CEO of GIPS. "An alliance with a leader like 5V promises that
GIPS will be at the forefront of the highly competitive Taiwanese hardware
market, as the companies push the market even further ahead. GIPS will
empower companies in Asia and elsewhere with the quality that users of SoC
and other solutions are coming to expect."
The world market for SoC will grow from approximately $10.4 billion in 2003
to $43.2 billion by 2009, for an average annual growth rate of 24.6
percent, according to a study by Business Communications Co. Meanwhile, the
Asian market offers billions of potential customers for the implementation
of SoC on wireless devices. Market research firm In-Stat/MDR forecasts that
the number of voice-based Wifi users will grow at over 120% per annum from
2004 to 2008, reaching 145 million Wifi voice users worldwide by 2008, with
a large portion of these users being in Asia.
By integrating GIPS VoiceEngine Embedded software into its System-on-Chip
platform, 5V Technologies Ltd. will offer Original Design Manufacturers
(ODMs) and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) the ability to readily
integrate the best voice quality available today into their VoIP and VoWLAN
products.
"Innovation and differentiation of products are vital for any vendor hoping
to stand out in the fray of VoIP and VoWLAN manufacturers in Asia," says
Jackson Chang, CEO at 5V Technologies Ltd. "5V Technologies is a leading
fabless developer of versatile and complete system-on-a-chip (SoC)
solutions for the broadband communications market. By integrating GIPS
embedded voice processing solutions, we will create the necessary
differentiation for our products, as well as our customers' products."
5V Technologies is currently developing a 32-bit MCU SoC that integrates an
ARM™ compliant processor core, with DSP extensions running at 300MHZ to
improve performance, while leveraging GIPS VoiceEngine Embedded in the
system software. Eventually, combining GIPS VoiceEngine Embedded with 5V's
SIP technology on its SoC implementations will provide versatile and
complete solutions in IP phone, VoIP ATA, VoIP WLAN gateway and Wi-Fi phone
applications.
VoiceEngine Embedded is a complete voice processing solution that
seamlessly combines all GIPS speech processing components into a single,
high-level API for integration on hardware devices. The software solves all
of the complexities of voice processing in a solution that guarantees the
best possible voice quality with the lowest delay. VoiceEngine Embedded
combines a broad range of specialized and patented technologies, including
GIPS NetEQ, an adaptive jitter buffer and error concealment module; GIPS
Voice Quality Enhancement module, which eradicates echo and background
noise; and GIPS comprehensive family of codecs.
