TI's VoIP and Wireless LAN Technologies power Ascom's Voice Over Wi-Fi Handsets

TI's TNETV1700 WLAN IP phone platform serves at the center of Ascom's i75

handsets that support both the 802.11b and 802.11g radio networks, as well

as the 802.11i and 802.11e standards for an increased level of security and

voice quality. The VoWiFi handsets offer longer talk and standby times

based on the high performance and ultra-low power consumption that the

TNETV1700 delivers. Built-in programmability allows for easy upgrades or

expansions as standards and capabilities evolve.



The Ascom i75 handsets are part of Ascom's complete, standards-based VoWiFi

package that also includes a smart, robust messaging system, VoIP gateway

that can be integrated with current communications networks, and a Portable

Device Manager that simplifies network administration tasks. Ascom offers

two designs of its i75 handsets that are targeted at the healthcare and

heavy industry segments.



Targeted at the enterprise and residential markets, TI's WLAN IP phone

platform is a complete solution designed to help developers get to market

fast. It includes the TNETV1700 VoWLAN processor, based on TI's proven,

power-efficient OMAP(tm) architecture used worldwide today by wireless

leaders, and TI's TNETW1230 WLAN chipset with software support to meet

existing and evolving standards. TI's award winning Telogy Software(tm) for

VoIP provides the industry's leading voice processing software, and supports

the transport of toll quality voice over WLAN networks.



Other TI technology completing the solution includes the TPS65013 power

management conversion IC that provides more than 95 percent power efficiency

and steps-down power partitions during periods of call inactivity; and the

highly integrated TLV320AIC21C dual codec with interfaces to handset,

headset, speakerphone and microphone.
