D2 Technologies Launches Latest Software Solution to Improve OEM Time-to-Market for VoIP-enabled Devices.New vPort Product Line Helps OEMs Meet Increased Customer Demand for Advanced VoIP CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment Devices, IP Phones and Mobile VoIP VoIP Mobile or 'Mobile Voice over Internet Protocol' is the application of Voice over IP technology to mobile handsets. VoIP Mobile requires a mobile handset that supports, at minimum, high speed IP communications. Products SANTA BARBARA Santa Barbara (săn'tə bär`brə, –bərə), city (1990 pop. 85,571), seat of Santa Barbara co., S Calif., on the Pacific Ocean; inc. 1850. , Calif. -- D2 Technologies, the market leader in embedded software platforms that power IP communications, today announced availability of the next generation of its comprehensive vPort embedded VoIP product line. vPort enables manufacturers to quickly and affordably develop and deliver a broad range of VoIP-enabled communications devices to meet increased market demand, including the latest in WiFi/VoIP dual mode phones, triple play devices, advanced VoIP adapters/gateways, IP phones and other mobile devices. The new product line has been highly optimized for specific design applications, and adds enhanced multi-service/multi-protocol support, improved Linux processing performance and continues to offer the industry's broadest support for leading IC/SOC and OS/RTOS designs. The company will showcase vPort at the 2007 Spring VON Conference March 19-22 in San Jose, CA at D2's hospitality suite. "Device manufacturers are becoming reliant on software to deliver exceptional VoIP performance and advanced functionality at a low price point," noted Doug Makishima, vice president of marketing at D2 Technologies. "We intend to continue leading this embedded VoIP software market, delivering products that not only manage the signaling protocols and media processing functions, but eventually create a seamless overall IP communications experience. The next generation of vPort is an important step in that direction." D2's VoIP software solutions are used by a variety of top-tier communications OEMs to drive revenue and product differentiation Product Differentiation A source of competitive advantage that depends on producing some item that is regarded to have unique and valuable characteristics. in key market segments. The new vPort product family has been highly optimized to further support these specific design applications, and is now available in four versions: * vPort MP - WiFi (VoWLAN) and dual-mode mobile phones * vPort GW - CPE gateways, ATA/router/IAD and triple-play devices * vPort IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) A protocol for printing and managing print jobs over the Internet using HTTP. Initially conceived by Novell, Xerox and others, the IETF made it a standard in 2000 that includes authentication and encryption. See printing protocol and LPD. - IP desktop phones and speakerphones * vPort CP - cordless VoIP/VoIM phones vPort already leads the market in embedded VoIP performance, efficiency and platform support, enabling networking, signaling and voice processing functions to execute as an integrated solution on a single processor, thereby driving down costs. The new version of vPort now offers enhanced multi-service/multi-session protocol support, allowing it to handle both traditional SIP-based VoIP and the latest VoIM protocols such as XMPP (EXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) An XML-based protocol for real time communications, originally developed by Jeremie Miller in 1998 for the Jabber instant messaging system. and other signaling protocols for messaging services such as GoogleTalk, Yahoo!, MSN Messenger and Gizmo Slang for any hardware device. See gadget. . vPort has also seen its industry-leading Linux performance further optimized through additional real-time enhancements and kernel-level packet processing for improved CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. efficiency. Designed for portability, vPort can execute on both 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. and CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) Pronounced "sisk." The traditional architecture of a computer which uses microcode to execute very comprehensive instructions. platforms, and supports the industry's broadest range of IC/SOCs, including ARM and MIPS-based architectures and solutions from Infineon, Texas Instruments and Cavium Networks. vPort's "virtual 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 " design not only offers a small memory footprint and low MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. impact on these platforms, it even improves design performance by eliminating latency from traditional RISC+DSP solutions and adding real-time performance to non-real-time OSs. vPort ultimately simplifies device development, support and maintenance for manufacturers, since all of the software operates under a single environment using one set of tools. Pricing and Availability The new version of vPort is available immediately. Contact D2 sales for pricing information.
