Voice over internet protocol (VoIP)
Homes and businesses across the globe have already made the switch to broadband internet. That increased bandwidth is now driving a second revolution: the move to voice over internet protocol (VoIP) based telephony. VoIP promises cheaper - or even free - calls. And Dialog Semicondcutor's IC, development kit and software options are your ideal gateway to the VoIP revolutions.
Currently, fixed-line telecom providers are competing with internet service providers (ISPs) to drive the revolution by cashing in on the communications market using their own standards. Fixed-line telephone providers have focused on stand-alone base stations using session initiation protocol (SIP), while internet service providers focus on voice over instant messaging (VoIM) protocols.
Session initiation protocol (SIP)
We take care of every aspect of the hardware platform for VoIP cordless applications. Our ICs, used in SIP base station applications, offer direct connections to your modem allowing you to make VoIP calls using the SIP while offering backwards compatibility between VoIP handsets and generic access profile (GAP) handsets. Also, we have developed modules to be used in SIP boxes and offering direct connection to your standard analogue telephone line too. This application allows you to use your phone for cordless analogue line connection or as a cordless VoIP link for maximum flexibility.
Voice over internet messaging (VoIM)
VoIM provides a method of making cheap or even free telephone calls to fellow subscribers via the internet using e.g. Google, MSN or Skype. Apart from the obvious cost reductions to the consumer, this revolution opens a whole new world of features. Embedding the DECT cordless standard into the computer environment allows users to apply and enjoy these features.
Your partner in the revolution
Our products cover the whole market for SIP, VoIM and VoIP applications. And because we see tomorrow's living environments depending more and more on Ethernet hubs, we are developing technologies that will be compatible with Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity in the home.
