SoftRISC Incorporates First DSP Functionality for RISC-Based CPUs That Provides VoIP and Multimedia Without Loss of Voice Quality; Significantly Reduces Cost, Board Space, and Design Implementation Time by 20-40%
SUNNYVALE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 5, 2006—
SoftRISC, a leading provider of VoIP and multimedia
software solutions for RISC platforms, today announced the first
software for RISC-based CPUs that eliminates a separate DSP chip, as
well as the need for discrete application chips such as an Echo
Canceller, MP3 player, or MPEG4 player. This software enables VoIP and
multimedia applications without any loss of voice or media quality, as
measured by ITU, IEEE, and ETSI standards.
By eliminating the need for a separate DSP chip, and application
chips, SoftRISC's field proven solution significantly reduces the cost
of semiconductor bill of materials for VoIP and Multimedia
applications by $10 to $20 (or more). The SoftRISC solution also
reduces board space by about 20%, and design implementation time by
30-40%. Therefore, customers can develop a general purpose and simpler
RISC based chips with reduced power consumption, and take advantage of
utilizing existing resources for increased VoIP and media
capabilities.
SoftRISC specializes in providing highly optimized and robust
systems solutions on RISC processor platforms in the areas of
wireless, VoIP, Fax over IP, Voice over WiFi, multimedia audio, and
video. SoftRISC's customers include semiconductor companies and
end-product manufacturers of cell phones, PDAs WiFi phones, ATAs, MP3
players and soft-phone clients. SoftRISC supports a wide array of
processors -- ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, ARC, SH, Blackfin, TI OMAP, etc.
"Our innovative technology allows customers to deploy robust VoIP
and multimedia solutions with superior flexibility and performance,
but with a significantly smaller footprint and reduced power," said
Ashok Setty, CEO of SoftRISC. "This enables our customers to develop a
cost-efficient end product with voice quality equal to that of CPUs
without requiring a separate DSP chip."
