SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DSP Group(R), (Nasdaq:DSPG), a leading global provider of wireless chipset solutions for converged communications, announced today that DSP Group’s DECT/CAT-iq 2.0 DCX81 System-on-a-Chip (SoC) is integrated in Swisscom’s new gateway products.
DSP Group’s DCX family of highly-integrated single-chip DECT solutions cost effectively delivers full home coverage with multi-line, multi-handset support and crystal clear high definition voice (HD Voice). The SoC is embedded with certified CAT-iq 2.0 firmware, offering a rich set of advanced features, including phone book and call list synchronization.
The DCX SoC’s in-field software upgradability allows providers like Swisscom to rapidly bring to market products complying not only with emerging standards like CAT-iq 2.1 and 3.0, but also with the ULE (Ultra Low Energy) standard for home automation. ULE support by residential gateways is forecasted to enable a vast market of Ultra-Low-energy devices for home control, security and monitoring.
“Thanks to close collaboration with DSP Group, Swisscom offers its customers a best-in-class cordless IP-telephony experience, including superior HD voice quality, ease of use and seamless phone book sharing between connected handsets,” said Mr. Andreas Martschitsch, head of Residential Home Networks at Swisscom.
“We are very pleased that Swisscom made a strategic decision to integrate DECT in their new gateway lineup and decided to adopt our DCX81 CAT-iq 2.0 solution,” said Mr. Ran Klier, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Europe and Americas for DSP Group.
