As mobile phones become smarter and smarter, one firm firmly believes your home phone shouldn’t be left behind. DSP Group, which has been churning out wireless chipsets for over two decades thinks it’s time for people to have smart-home-phones and is the first company to come up with an Android based home phone product.
DSPG, which holds 70% of worldwide market share in cordless telephony and which has already shipped over a billion chipsets in its lifetime, believes that adding data, audio and multimedia to home phones will bring the modern home up to speed and into the 21st century.
After all, why not have a home phone that can act as a TV remote, a switch for lighting and air-conditioning and a resource for voicemail, Yellow Pages, email, Internet tidbits, address books, organizational tools and more to boot?
The DSP Group is certainly well equipped to provide a home smartphone product being the only provider of a SoC solution including DECT, Wi-Fi and multimedia, with a broad portfolio of wireless chipsets – from its XpandR multimedia chipset family to the next-generation XceedR cordless chipset and XciteR VoIP chipset families.
These integrate DECT, Wi-Fi, PSTN and VoIP technologies with application processors to provide converged voice, audio, video and data connectivity across diverse consumer products – from cordless and VoIP phones to home gateways and connected multimedia screens.
DSP Group’s silicon and HD (High-Definition) Voice technologies also power all 11 CAT-iq certified products of leading cordless telephone manufacturers.
Most recently DSP Group even announced a partnership with Binatone Motorola to power the next generation cordless Android phone with an i-Phone like touch-screen interface. RCR was able to get an exclusive product demo, which you can view in the video below.
