Using UniFi, CSR's single-chip WiFi silicon, SunCorp has used its know-how of the residential consumer market to introduce SIP-based residential phones that allow users to make VoIP calls directly from a handset which is connected wirelessly to a WiFi access point, thus giving consumers a user experience close to that of a DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) A cordless phone standard mostly used in Europe; however, DECT 6.0 is increasingly used worldwide. The first DECT standards were introduced by ETSI in 1992, and DECT phones have been used as cordless home phones as phone. SunCorp Technologies' SOLUS Solus® Cardiology An ASIR, single-chamber, rate-modulated pulse generator. See Pacemaker. WiFi phones have been designed around UniVox, CSR's VoWiFi reference design, which has been developed to bring talk time and standby time in line with those of a residential DECT phone. They will be demonstrated on CSR's stand at 3GSM Congress in Barcelona, 12-15 February 2007. Stand number E51 (Hall 1). Simon Finch, VP WiFi Strategic Business Unit, CSR, commented, "Bringing talk time and standby time to comparable levels to existing DECT phones is a real driver for migrating consumers onto VoWiFi. SunCorp has combined the highly integrated, low cost and power features of CSR's UniVox design with its own volume manufacturing capabilities and stylish industrial design to create highly usable and price sensitive VoWiFi phones which offer wide adoption for residential users." CSR's UniVox reference design is based on the industry's lowest power, single-chip WiFi silicon, UniFi, and is in a chip scale package A chip scale package (CSP) (sometimes, chip-scale package with a hyphen) is a type of integrated circuit chip carrier. According to the IPC, to qualify as chip scale, the package must have an area no greater than 1.2 times that of the die that is being packaged.

Furthermore, UniVox's onboard MAP (Multimedia Applications Processor) which combines a low power RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. based applications processor with a high performance DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive function, audio CODECs and echo cancellation to ensure high voice quality. The UniVox platform also includes a default MMI (Man Machine Interface) See HMI. 1. MMI - Man-Machine Interface. 2.

(man machine interface) and software development kit to further configure the phone's interface and add additional CODECs if required. Parag Jani, Head of Product Management, SunCorp added, "Choosing a design partner for our VoWiFi phones who clearly understood the current and future consumer handset environment was vital in allowing us to build further on our position as leading innovator in the residential phone market." Parag continued, "CSR's UniVox design has allowed us an exceptionally short time to market which has helped us to deliver SOLUS WiFi handsets as highly usable products delivering an attractive proposition to the consumer. At 3 GSM we will introduce two products, an entry level mono display and a high end 1.8 inch colour display version.
