Legerity Wins 30 Voice Over Broadband System Designs in Q1.Business Editors & High Tech Writers AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 10, 2001 VoB Represents the Fastest-Growing Market Segment for Legerity Voice Chipsets Legerity, the proven communication IC company, today announced that it has won 30 new voice over broadband (VoB) design wins worldwide in the first quarter of 2001. Among the system manufacturers who have chosen Legerity chipsets for their VoB designs in Q1 are Cisco, Copper Mountain, D-Link, Telco Systems and Wave7 Optics. A long-time leader in providing subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC SLIC Subscriber Line Interface Circuit SLIC Scottish Library and Information Council SLIC System Licensed Internal Code SLIC Subscriber Line Interface Card SLIC Session Layer Interface Card (Alacritech, Inc. ) and codec/filter chipsets for traditional voice applications, Legerity views voice over broadband as the fastest-growing segment of its IC business. More than two-thirds of Legerity's 100+ new design wins in 2000 encompassed VoB applications in the U.S., Europe and Asia. In addition to being the No.1 supplier of voice ICs for the global public network, Legerity is the leading supplier of voice chipsets for VoB applications, with an estimated 40 percent market share. "Voice is the killer app that is bringing the broadband revolution full circle by driving mass-market deployment of VoB applications, such as voice over digital subscriber line See DSL. (communications, protocol) Digital Subscriber Line - (DSL, or Digital Subscriber Loop, xDSL - see below) A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and and cable telephony," said Ron Van Dell, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Legerity has been quite successful in supplying voice IC solutions over the last 20 years, and now we are leveraging our proven voice expertise to develop and market chipsets that essentially add voice to data applications." Van Dell added, "In the first quarter, we made an intense focus on delivering IC solutions for the VoB market, and we saw immediate results with 30 new design wins based on our Ringing SLICs and two- and four-channel codec/filters." Legerity offers a broad portfolio of ICs that provide enabling line interface and audio processing technology (company) Audio Processing Technology - (APT) A company that produces codecs based on predictive analysis rather than frequency coding. for channelized Refers to an architecture that transmits data in channels.

Ringing Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) devices from Legerity, such as the Am79R70 and Am79R79 RSLICs, are widely used in VoB applications to generate and drive ringing for telephones connected to VoDSL and VoIP systems. These SLICs are often matched with Legerity's Dual and Quad SLAC SLAC Stanford Linear Accelerator Center SLAC Student Labor Action Coalition SLAC Scapholunate Advanced Collapse (wrist disorder) SLAC Salt Lake Acting Company (Utah) SLAC Student Learning Assistance Center (TM) codec/filters to provide a complete chipset solution. For example, the four-channel Am79Q061 SLAC device is ideal for VoB applications because it supports both PCM (1) See phase change memory.

Legerity's Dual ISLAC ISLAC Institute for the Study of Latin America and the Caribbean (University of South Florida; Tampa, FL) (TM)/ISLIC(TM) chipset (Am79D225x/Am79R24x chipset), a member of the Intelligent Access Voice over Broadband Solutions family, is particularly well-suited for VoB applications. The chipset consists of a programmable, DSP-based Dual ISLAC codec/filter paired with two ISLIC ISLIC Israel Society of Special Libraries and Information Centers ISLIC International Surplus Lines Insurance Company devices, which provide a complete software-configurable line interface solution. The Dual ISLAC/ISLIC chipset implements a two-channel universal telephone line interface with integrated ringing support, integrated line test and diagnostic capabilities, modem tone detection and ADPCM (Adaptive Differential PCM) A widely used variation of PCM that codes the difference between sample points like differential PCM (DPCM), but can also dynamically switch the coding scale to compensate for variations in amplitude and frequency. voice encoding. The chipset's integrated, remote line testing and diagnostic capabilities reduce cost for service providers by minimizing the need for "truck rolls" to troubleshoot communications equipment.
