SyChip Introduces VoIP Processing Engine for Mobile Terminals; Next Generation Module Incorporates VoIP Engine to Reduce Power, Footprint and Cost
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 14, 2006—
SyChip, a leader in Radio Frequency Chip Scale Modules
(CSM), today introduced SyVoice(TM) 1000 (SV1000), a
Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) integrated circuit that has been
optimized for wireless VoIP applications. The SV1000 device is the
newest in the SyVoice family of products targeted to mobile devices
such as cell phones, single-mode wireless VoIP phones, PDAs, personal
media players and portable gaming consoles. SV1000 combines a
high-speed digital signal processor (DSP), A/D and D/A converters and
power management logic in a single integrated circuit. SyChip will be
located in Booth 1243 at Spring VON 2006 at the San Jose Convention
Center.
"SyVoice has seen great acceptance in the industry as a solid
solution for mobile VoIP communications. We're excited about the
latest achievements here at SyChip with the introduction of our own
VoIP processor," said Dr. Moses Asom, co-founder and senior vice
president of marketing and business development at SyChip. "The VoIP
market is now growing at triple-digit rates and this product is timed
perfectly to allow developers to quickly add wVoIP functionality to
their end products."
The SV1000 is optimized to execute all of the real-time functions
required during a VoIP call including advanced speech coders, jitter
buffer, encryption and acoustic echo cancellation. Today many
general-purpose processors are used to execute these functions and
will consume three-to-five times more power due to the increased MIPS
and memory required. The SV1000 consumes only 14mA of current during a
call, enabling phones to have talk times of more than eight hours with
a typical cell phone battery.
"System cost and power efficiency are playing a large role in the
growth of VoIP in handheld markets," said Will Strauss, president of
Forward Concepts. "SyChip, by developing their own DSP-based VoIP
engine, has taken true strides to deliver a solution that will enable
mobile VoIP phones with competitive talk times and price points."
The SV1000 will be used in SyChip's award winning VWLAN71xx family
of chip scale modules. The new module the VWLAN7101, measures only
190mm-squared and consists of the SV1000, an 802.11b/g WLAN modem and
is bundled with the SyVoice Software Suite: G.711, G.729A/B, G.723,
G.726 VoCoders, SIP 2.0 stack, jitter buffer; call control functions,
IPSEC; standard WLAN features such as WMM(R) Quality of Service (QoS),
WPA2 security and Bluetooth co-existence. SyChip also provides the
driver to support embedded operating systems for mobile devices such
as Windows Mobile(R), Linux(R), Nucleus(R) and Rex(R) Operating
Systems.
Pricing and Availability
The VWLAN7101 (including the SV1000) will be available for OEM
sampling in early Q2 2006. It comes in a near Quad Flat No-Lead
package (QFN) that allows for direct attachment to the main printed
circuit board using industry standard surface mount technology.
Pricing for the module will be $15 per unit in volumes of 100,000.
