BROADCOM EXPANDS PRODUCT PORTFOLIO INCLUDING DSL MODEMS.Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :BRCM BRCM Broadcom Corporation (stock abbreviation, AMEX) BRCM Master Chief Boilermaker (USN rating) ) has launched two new voice over Internet protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (VoIP) devices for consumer applications. The two new devices, a terminal adapter See ISDN terminal adapter. terminal adapter - Terminal Adaptor (TA) router chip and a low cost IP phone chip, can be used as standalone VoIP processors to enable leading OEMs and ODMs to create feature-rich and cost-effective TA routers or desktop IP phones for the home or small office. They can also be paired with Broadcom 54g Wi-Fi technology to create wireless versions of the same products. The new devices expand Broadcom's existing IP phone product portfolio, which includes Wi-Fi phone and Wi-Fi video phone platforms, voice-enabled cable and DSL modems, and Ethernet IP phones, to make the Broadcom consumer VoIP offering second to none in the industry. "Broadcom provides its customers with a one-stop-shop for high quality, low cost VoIP solutions for consumer applications," said Monika Gupta, product marketing manager, Broadcom Consumer VoIP products. "Our industry-leading IP phone, wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area , cable modem cable modem Modem used to convert analog data signals to digital form and vise versa, for transmission or receipt over cable television lines, especially for connecting to the Internet. , and DSL modem technologies, coupled with our field-proven VoIP software platform, put us in the unique position to offer a compelling suite of consumer VoIP solutions." Broadcom TA Router Solution The BCM BCM Baylor College of Medicine BCM Become BCM Business Communications Manager (Nortel) BCM Broadcom Corporation BCM Business Continuity Management BCM Business Contact Manager (Microsoft) 1111 is a highly integrated, high performance VoIP processor that is ideal for wired and wireless TA router applications. TAs connect an analog phone The original telephone technology, which converts air vibrations into an analogous electrical frequency. Unless a key telephone system, digital PBX or voice over IP (VoIP) is used, most homes and small offices still use analog phones, and the local loop is mostly analog. to a broadband modem to enable voice calls over the Internet. The new Broadcom processor can scale to fit applications from low-end cordless phone TAs to high-end Wi-Fi router TAs. For example, when coupled with Broadcom 54g and router chips, the BCM1111 enables a device that combines the functionality of three separate home networking devices into one. Additionally, the BCM1111 has two integrated voice codecs, making it more cost-effective than competing solutions. It leverages Broadcom's VoIP xChange software platform, a complete VoIP software package that is unique because it includes networking and router components. Consumer IP Phone Chip Broadcom's new low cost consumer IP phone chip, the BCM1190, is a highly integrated, high performance VoIP processor that is targeted at residential and small office/home office See SOHO. (SOHO Soho (sōhō`, sə–), district of Westminster, London, England, known for its continental restaurants. Once a fashionable quarter, it became popular among writers and artists in the 19th cent. ) Ethernet IP handsets. The BCM1190 provides enterprise class IP phone features at consumer price points, such as high fidelity audio support and full duplex speakerphone, allowing service providers to deliver more differentiated services than existing analog phone or TA solutions. Both devices feature a single MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. processor core with specialized VoIP instructions that eliminate the need for a separate digital signal processor A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time computing.
