TCL, a leading Telecom Brand in China, is Now Shipping IP Phone and Terminal
Adapter Products with Broadcom(R) Single-Chip VoIP Solutions
BOSTON, Fall 2005 VON Conference & Expo, Sept. 20
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM), a global leader
in wired and wireless broadband communications semiconductors, and TCL
Communications Equipment (Huizhou) Co., Ltd., the leading telephone
manufacturer in China, today jointly announced that Broadcom's single-chip
Voiceover Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone and analog terminal adapter (ATA)
solutions are now shipping in TCL's consumer VoIP products. The election by
TCL to use Broadcom(R) VoIP chips further exemplifies how Broadcom is growing
its share of the worldwide VoIP market.
The two VoIP chips selected by TCL include the BCM1113R and the BCM1112.
The BCM1113R is a low-cost IP phone chip that enables manufacturers to
economically build feature-rich IP phones for the residential, small
office/home office (SOHO), and small-to-medium sized business (SMB) markets.
The BCM1112 is a low-cost VoIP CPE engine chip that enables manufacturers to
build high-quality ATAs for residential deployments. ATAs connect legacy
telephones to service providers' advanced IP communications networks.
"Broadcom continues to strengthen its position in the VoIP market by
partnering with the world's leading VoIP phone manufacturers and by offering
high-quality, cost-effective VoIP products," said Patrick Sullivan, Vice
President and General Manager of Broadcom's VoIP phone products. "TCL's
market-leadership, coupled with Broadcom's industry-leading VoIP portfolio,
will enable high-quality IP phone and ATA products that will accelerate VoIP
adoption in both the residential and SOHO markets worldwide."
"The industry leading system-on-a-chip (SoC) functionality of Broadcom's
BCM1113R and BCM1112 VoIP solutions has enabled us to develop high-quality
VoIP products in a short design cycle with high stability and low risk," said
Gu Gong, General Manager of TCL Communications. "We looked to Broadcom's VoIP
expertise and market leadership for our VoIP products to ensure that TCL's
strong product quality reputation was not compromised as we focus more on IP
telephony products versus legacy analog telephone products."
With Broadcom's VoIP chips and its field-proven xChange(TM) VoIP software
suite, TCL has developed a cost-effective family of IP phones and residential
ATA products that offer numerous features and functionality. Each of the new
TCL IP phones (Models TCL-IP(8) and TCL-IP(9)) are based on the BCM1113R and
feature session initiation protocol (SIP) and H.323 call signaling, hands-free
full-duplex speakerphone capabilities, and standards-based voice codecs.
TCL's ATA (Model TCL-IAD501) is based on Broadcom's BCM1112 single-chip
engine and features one analog POTS (plain old telephone set) port for
connection to existing analog phones and fax machines. Both the IP phone and
ATA products feature a Fast Ethernet switch and two physical Ethernet
interfaces that support the connection between a broadband DSL or cable modem
to a PC or local area network (LAN).
The three TCL phone and ATA products have recently passed interoperability
certification testing by over 30 service providers or softswitch platforms
worldwide including those from Huawei, ZTE, UT Starcom, Nortel, Alcatel
Shanghai Bell, Asterisk, Auvtech, IPN and Asiasoft.
TCL's model TCL-IP(8), TCL-IP(9) and TCL-IP(501) are on display in the
Broadcom suite at the Fall VON 2005 Conference & Expo, Boston Convention and
Exhibition Center, September 19th through 22nd.
Product Information
The BCM1113R IP phone chip features an 87 MHz MIPS32(TM) RISC processor
for advanced computer telephony integration (CTI) applications, and an 87 MHz
dual-MAC digital signal processor (DSP) to support voice signal processing.
The DSP includes voice compression algorithms (narrowband using G.711,
G.729A/AB, BroadVoice(TM)16 and wideband using G.722 or BroadVoice32), a
hands-free full-duplex speakerphone, and packet loss concealment algorithms.
Two integrated analog codecs are also included to support both narrowband 8
Kilohertz (KHz) and wideband 16 KHz sampling that enables IP phone networks to
deliver high-quality voice transmission. The BCM1113R's integrated Ethernet
switch enables a desktop PC and IP phone to share a single LAN connection, and
supports both IEEE 802.1p packet prioritization and 802.1q VLAN
identification.
The BCM1112 VoIP CPE engine integrates a 150 MHz MIPS32 RISC processor,
108 MHz dual-MAC digital signal processor, three analog codecs supporting
narrowband 8 KHz and wideband 16 KHz sampling, two 10/100 Ethernet
transceivers and an 10/100 Ethernet switch.
