Versatile, VoIP and Broadband Enabled Service Gateway Processors Gain Momentum with Follow-on Wins in Korea; New Designs in China and India
SHELTON, Conn. --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TranSwitch(R) Corporation (NASDAQ: TXCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions for the converging voice, data and video network, today announced the selection of its Atlanta 100 family of communications processors for use in service gateway and other customer premises equipment (CPE) being deployed throughout Asia , where national and emerging carriers are actively competing for customers with offerings of bundled services. The awards have results in new production of the processors as well as opportunities for additional quantities upon the commencement of marketing initiatives by leading national carriers. CPE powered by Atlanta processors enable broadband services including voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone service, one of the fastest growing forms of communication, so that customers can benefit from the convenience and traditionally lower cost of bundled Internet access, data services and phone service.
In South Korea , SK Telesys is using the Atlanta 100 product family in its CPE for SK Broadband's roll-out of its Broad&Fone VoIP service to residential, small office and home office (SoHo), and small to medium-sized business (SMB) customers throughout the country. TranSwitch previously announced that its Atlanta processors had been selected by SK Telesys for use in its residential CPE product, the IF-100 Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) phone with cordless handset support. SK Telesys has now awarded to TranSwitch a design-win for the IF-200 DECT phone that is targeted at SoHo and SMB applications which require one cordless handset and FAX support. The Atlanta 100 processor family has also been designed into the Alpha project DECT phone for SK Telesys, which supports three cordless handsets as well as FAX support. The IF-100, IF-200 and Alpha project VoIP-DECT phones are manufactured for SK-Telesys by INBRICS (formerly Navons). SK Broadband (formerly Hanaro Telecom) is the fastest growing broadband service provider in South Korea , serving approximately four million broadband subscribers.
"Simply put, the Atlanta product family provides the best cost to performance ratio of any product in its class. This, along with TranSwitch's exceptional level of support, is the primary reason why we have chosen to continue to use TranSwitch's Atlanta 100 product family for all of our CPE products" said Y.S Huh, Sr. Marketing Team Manager of SK Telesys.
TranSwitch also announced today that its Atlanta 100 product family has gained momentum in other fast growing Asian markets. In China , a broad range of CPE products such as Media Terminal Adapters (MTA) and 3G Wireless Home Gateways have been designed by equipment suppliers for deployment in the wire-line and wireless networks of major domestic carriers. Similar developments are underway in India . One of the fastest growing broadband network operators in India is planning to roll out voice and data services using a range of CPE equipment based on TranSwitch's Atlanta 100 processor family. These new and follow-on design wins demonstrate the versatility, performance, and quality of the Atlanta 100 product family as well as the professional and focused support that TranSwitch provides to its customers.
"We are gaining significant traction in select high growth markets in Asia , where competition to provide bundled services has led to TranSwitch receiving several production awards and design wins. Our Atlanta product family is uniquely designed to address carriers' need to add revenues and customers, while keeping service provisioning and maintenance costs to a minimum," said Kris Shankar, VP of Sales and Marketing for TranSwitch . Mr. Shankar continued, "With the Atlanta 100 product family's unique integrated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) architecture, the processing of data at high rates doesn't impact voice quality. Likewise, the support of multiple voice channels doesn't impact data throughput capacity. As a result, the Atlanta 100 product family can simultaneously support 100 Mbps wire-speed routing with Network Address Translation (NAT) and one to eight low bit rate voice channels with no degradation in performance."
