Awox, a leader in the home networking market, today announced it will enable manufacturers to deliver best-in-class, high performance digital media solutions as a member of the Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) DSP Third Party Network.
Awox has built a roadmap of products within a long-term collaborative framework such as UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) middleware and plug-in applications that take full advantage of TI's TMS320DM644x processors based on DaVinci technology and TI's ultra low power TNETD1350A WiFi module, which addresses the requirements of the home networking market. This cooperative strategy between TI and Awox ensures manufacturers have access to turn-key solutions and get to market quickly with innovative digital media solutions.
"Thanks to the overall acceptance of digital formats, such as MP3, DVD and DTT, as well as high-speed Internet, WiFi and mass storage, a fundamental transformation of digital convergence has occurred in entertainment content broadcasting and in consumer electronics markets," said Robert Rodenbucher, director of business development at Awox. "Awox is proud to be part of the TI developer community and is ready to share its know-how and experience with other developers at the TI Developer Conference this week."
"TI's third party network provides our customers access to the systems expertise provided by leading companies in their respective markets," said Ben Sheppard, customer and partner marketing manager for TI's Residential Gateway and Embedded Systems Group. "As an early collaborator to support TI's latest WiFi-enabled consumer embedded solution, Awox has proven to be very responsive to our customers' needs and delivers the middleware architecture and digital media solutions reference platform to help them quickly deliver differentiated products."
As an early adopter of TI's DaVinci technology powering its DLNA-compliant Digital Media Adapter platform, Awox will demonstrate its TI-based solution at TIDC this week in Dallas.
