Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) has announced TNETV107x, a new technology platform that gives IP phone manufacturers the ability to deliver a significantly enhanced feature-rich experience to the user. The next-generation TNETV107x family of IP phone platform will include TI's TMS320C64x+ digital signal processor (DSP) and take advantage of a wide-range of TI silicon and software solutions to allow equipment manufacturers to develop a broad portfolio of BOM (bill of materials) optimized IP phones, ranging from reduced cost phones to full featured executive IP phones.
TI is also making available its Modular Open Voice Engine (MOVE) software, a highly optimized system software architecture that meets next-generation processing requirements for a broad range of IP-enabled devices utilizing a field-proven voice engine. For IP phones, TI's MOVE software equips customers with a powerful tool that allows them the option to add their own software in addition to what TI already provides. To best support the feature rich IP phones developed by OEMs, TI's new IP phone family will leverage a 3D graphics accelerator for advanced GUI (Graphical User Interface) displays, low-power consumption, support for wideband voice and advanced networking, and a portable and flexible software engine that is scalable across TI's multimedia platforms.
