Texas Instruments Intros VoIP System-on-ChipTMCnet Contributing Editor Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today announced it introduced the TNETV1061, its latest VoIP system on a chip. The chip provides VoIP and data routing features and it seems to be a good choice for residential applications and service provider deployments.
The new chip integrates TI's Telogy Software for VoIP featuring the company's DSPs for real-time signal processing. The complete software and silicon system is held together by the TNETV1061's dual processor architecture, good for simultaneous real-time voice processing and data traffic under heavy load conditions. The device supports a suite of voice and network protocols, and features call and XML-based configuration and remote management. The TNETV1061 also provides consumers with security features such as Secure RTP and SIP TLS. This new product also incorporates TI's newly released PIQUA embedded IP quality management technology, offering real-time monitoring of IP-based services. PIQUA technology allows service providers to assess voice quality parameters and dynamically adapt to changing network conditions to enhance the subscriber experience.
TI introduced PIQUA back in January. PIQUA will equip service providers with the tools necessary to deliver a level of service quality to consumer and business subscribers moving to Internet and IP-based services, such as VoIP, Video over IP, IPTV and IP-based music services. TI joined forces with Motive Inc. and Viola Networks to make available info necessary to properly manage emerging services from its IP communications technology offerings with PIQUA. This will empower providers to improve their subscribers' experience and reduce overall network operating costs.
"As service providers rapidly expand their residential VoIP offerings, the TNETV1061 provides the additional processing power for emerging voice and data routing requirements while meeting the ever-present economical price pressures in retail and customer premise solutions," said Fred Zimmerman, executive director, customer premises solutions, at TI. "TI is the only company that can offer a VoIP solution that will allow service providers a high-quality, scalable and reliable solution at the right price point for the consumer space."
The TNETV1061 seamlessly interfaces to TI's TNETW1350A 802.11b/g chip and pre-integrates the access point software to support WLAN-enabled VoIP products. By including TI's G++ technology, consumers can have twice the range and 50 percent greater throughput over previous WLAN systems, while minimizing interference from products in the home such as microwaves, cordless phones and neighboring wireless networks.
The TNETV1061 will be available in volume production in 2Q06 for customers interested in TI's complete residential VoIP software and hardware system.
