Global IP Sound Releases Latest Versions of VoiceEngine Mobile for Symbian 9 and Windows Mobile 5.014 December 2005
Global IP Sound (GIPS), the leading
provider of embedded speech-processing solutions for the Voice over IP
(VoIP) market, today announced that it is shipping two new versions of its
VoiceEngine Mobile product, including VoiceEngine Mobile for Symbian 9 and
VoiceEngine Mobile for Pocket PC with support for Windows Mobile 5.0. This
latest product update also includes GIPS Voice Quality Enhancement (VQE)
and encryption features, to give applications developers the tools they
need to integrate high quality VoIP into their mobile solutions.
"Global IP Sound is aware of the challenges that developers of VoIP
applications for smartphones and PDAs face," said Roar Hagen, Founder and
CTO of Global IP Sound. "Our new releases focus on these challenges by
handling the most common problems found in mobile devices such as
background noise and echo. We are also constantly striving to provide our
customers with the most up to date products by offering VoiceEngine Mobile
on the broadest array of platforms possible."
The success of VoIP in the business and consumer marketplace will largely
be driven by the availability of VoIP wireless handsets, analysts say. By
2009, over 66 million cellular/WiFi handsets will be in operation,
according to a forecast from In-Stat, a market research firm based in
Scottsdale, Ariz. Consumer VoIP subscribers using wireless IP phones will
grow from 2 percent worldwide today to 73 percent by 2009, the firm adds.
The latest VoiceEngine Mobile for Pocket PC also incorporates GIPS VQE,
which includes noise suppression and automatic gain control (ACG) to
maximize the quality of VoIP conversations by reducing echo and background
noise while adjusting speech levels to create a consistent and comfortable
listening experience for mobile users. It also features support for the
Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), as well as the latest version
of GIPS NetEQ, which is an advanced jitter buffer and packet loss
concealment module that dramatically improves sound quality and minimizes
latency in IP telephony systems. This is in addition to existing features
such as support for push-to-talk and wideband audio.
VoiceEngine Mobile is now optimized for the newest generation of Symbian
and Windows Mobile platforms and to give OEMs everything they need to
extend the mobility of their end users, and to improve usability and voice
quality compared to previous generation products. It also supports Symbian
7/8 and Windows Mobile 2003/04 for Pocket PC platforms.
The VoiceEngine family of products provides a common API across all
platforms, including Microsoft Windows PC, Pocket PC, Linux and Symbian, in
order to allow streamline product development for vendors and help them to
rapidly integrate GIPS technology into their existing applications.
