Agere Offers Two New Integrated VoIP Phone Chips

Agere Systems introduced two new VoIP chips for residential and enterprise IP phones. The new devices include both dual and single Ethernet-port system-on-a-chip solutions. The VoIP chips support wide-band codecs for enhanced voice quality, three-way teleconferencing, and full-duplex speakerphone capability with self-adaptive Acoustic Echo Cancellation. Both single-chip solutions couple Agere's DSP 1600 core with an ARM940T microcontroller, allowing manufacturers to use the same software for a range of IP phone designs. Agere said its IP Phone chips are also compatible with its WaveLAN wireless networking components. The single port device is offered at approximately $12 in quantities of 50,000. The dual-port device is priced at approximately $18 in production quantities of 50,000.
