TI developers learn of client side telephony

Over the course of the last week, Spirit delivered a series of technical lectures for Internet telephony system developers at the European TI Developers' Conference.

Over the course of the last week, Spirit delivered a series of technical lectures for Internet telephony system developers at the European TI Developers' Conference, which took place in Birmingham, Paris and Munich.

The conference was divided into six major sessions, one of them dedicated to telephony.

Spirit's technical experts read their materials in three cities.

The total audience of the TI Developer Conference amounted to 750 people, including 550 representatives of equipment manufacturing companies.

Spirit was one of the seven independent companies (and the only company from Russia) invited by TI to deliver a series of lectures during the conference, thanks to Spirit's vast experience in digital telephony and voice/data integration areas.

The company also delivered a "Speed up the design of your telephony application" workshop to teach system engineers, DSP software developers, project managers, technical marketing, sales managers how to quickly develop any user-specific telephony application and to explain the concept of a multilayer telephony framework which can significantly reduce the development time and help engineers concentrate on high-level design.

Examples were given of how to build a simple voice-processing application.

Spirit was selected to be a speaker at the developing telephony workshop because of its extensive telephony algorithm knowledge and software excellence.

In 2001 Spirit signed a client side telephony deal with Texas Instruments, leading to the development of the C54CST integrated client side telephony solution.

"Client side telephony is the best solution for OEMs who plan to develop and manufacture cost effective and fast-to-market devices with data communication and voice capabilities", said Spirit founding CEO Andrew Sviridenko.

"TI's C54CST chip is running client side telephony software technology developed by Spirit.

The key element of this technology is the real time framework that significantly facilitates the integration of separate software algorithms into a ready-to-use software bundle".

"C54CST is the first to offer all these telephony algorithms on a single DSP", said Mark Mattson, TI's C5000 Business Development Manager.

"Because the framework is open and flexible, customers can extend this solution by selecting other eXpressDSP-compliant algorithms from Spirit and other members of TI's extensive third party network".

Target applications for C54CST are: telephony systems, point-of-sale outlets and kiosks, set-top boxes, credit card and check verification systems, security systems, industrial monitoring systems and meters, payphones, voice recorders, internet appliances, voice/data access points and digital answering machines.
