D2 Technologies Launches ARM VoIP Solution on TI OMAP Platforms; Flexible Virtual Design for Voice Processes
SANTA BARBARA, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 16, 2006—
D2 Technologies announces today that its vPort(TM) VoIP
software has been implemented on the ARM926e RISC processor embedded
within the Texas Instruments OMAP 1710 and OMAP 850 SoC (system on a
chip). This allows fully-featured VoIP applications to be offered with
or without the need for DSP hardware, resulting in a flexible virtual
DSP design that can address a wide variety of applications.
D2's integrated software solution, called vPort, includes audio
drivers, voice processing functions (like compression, echo
cancellation, Caller ID, DTMF, packet loss concealment, etc.), RTP
packetization, Jitter Buffer, SIP signaling and application layer. For
dual mode wireless applications on the OMAP850, where the DSP is
committed to other baseband signal processing functions, vPORT can
execute entirely on the ARM CPU. In other applications where the ARM
processor is needed for high level functions, the voice signal
processing subsystem of vPORT can be executed on the attached DSP on
the OMAP1710. Introduced three years ago, D2's vPort software is
deployed in residential end-point products, and is designed for CPE
end-point products such as wired/wireless Voice-enabled Terminal
Adapters, routers and gateways, as well as VoIP phones and handsets.
ARM Processors Make Efficient Use of Silicon
"ARM processors make efficient use of silicon and memory, which
allows semiconductor companies to make economical semiconductor
devices with the low power consumption required of wireless or
portable devices. This, coupled with efficient signal processing
instructions useful for voice algorithms make the ARM an ideal
platform for running D2's VoIP software," according to D2 President,
David Wong.
The Texas Instruments OMAP 1710 is an effective platform for use
in handsets for single-mode WiFi applications or dual-mode
WiFi/cellular applications. Its unique multi-engine design provides
software/hardware accelerators for improved multimedia and graphics
performance. Plus the 1710 has integrated hardware and software
security features and ultra-low standby power consumption.
D2 is a Member of the ARM Connected Community
D2 has also joined the ARM Connected Community, which is a global
network of companies aligned to provide a complete solution for
products based on the ARM architecture. ARM offers a variety of
resources to Community members, including promotional programs and
peer-networking opportunities that enable a variety of ARM Partners to
come together to provide end-to-end customer solutions.
