Fortemedia In, OKI Out!Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CeBIT 2003 CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 2003 With the Combination of Fortemedia's FM1073, The Echo Canceller See echo cancellation. of Echo Cancellers, and a 130dB Loud Speaker, One Can Hear the Sound of Silence with One's Own Breathing Fortemedia Inc., a privately held company privately held company A firm whose shares are held within a relatively small circle of owners and are not traded publicly. in Cupertino, California, announces a Bluetooth hands free car kit reference design, CarBlue(TM), with its FM1073. CarBlue(TM) will be demonstrated at Cebit Show (in Hannover, Germany), Hall 12 Stand D26-2, Mar.12-19. The FM1073 is a new generation device designed to set a new cost effective standard for the more advanced hands-free applications demanded in today's safety oriented and competitive consumer market. The acoustic echo cancellation The elimination of an echo in a two-way voice transmission. Echo is created in the telephone company's central office switch when two-wire lines from the customer are converted to four-wire lines for backbone trunks. performance of up to 65dB, makes the FM1073 the best and only choice for the high quality hands-free car kit which requires a very loud volume of greater than 130dB with full duplex (Computers) arranged so that the information may be transmitted in both directions simultaneously; - of communications channels between computers; contrasted with FM1073 Major Features: -- AEC (from 52dB to 65dB) -- Noise suppression (13-18dB) -- Full duplex -- Array microphone support -- Handle non-linear echo -- Highly integrated (DSP, four A/Ds, two D/As, ROM, and RAM) and small footprint (48pin LQFP). -- UART, and Codec Host Interface for Bluetooth applications CarBlue(TM) System Features: -- Support Hands-free, Headset, GAP, and SPP (1) (Scalable Parallel Processor) A multiprocessing computer that can be upgraded by adding more CPUs. (2) (Standard Parallel Port) The Centronics parallel port that was used on the first PCs. profiles -- Range up to 10 m -- 2.4 - 2.4835 GHz ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical band) A part of the radio spectrum that can be used by anybody without a license in most countries. In the U.S., the 902-928 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.7-5. (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) -- Bluetooth Class-2 compliant with up to 4 dBm (2.5 mW) -- Receive RF Sensitivity (-80 dBm) Fortemedia's Echo Cancellation Technologies: Our patent pending AS3NLF NLF abbr. National Liberation Front NLF n abbr (= National Liberation Front) → FLN m NLF n abbr (= National Liberation Front (Adaptive Step-Sized, Sub-band Non-Linear Filter) technologies use a combination of NLMS NLMS Normalized Least Mean Square (algorithm) NLMS National Longitudinal Mortality Study NLMS Navy Logistics Management School NLMS NAVSECGRU Logistics Management System NLMS Normalized Least Means Squares algorithm with adaptive step-size, sub-band process, post filter, and a non-linear processing engine. This new technology delivers an excellent full duplex capability while maintaining a very high echo cancellation rate of up to 65dB during double talk conditions. The non-linear processing engine identifies and eliminates only the non-linear echo element induced in the real embedded applications, resulting in significantly increased flexibility to achieve superior echo performance. Pricing and Availability FM1073 is available now and is priced at $7 each in 1000-unit lot.
