January 09 2020 - 10:00AM
DSP Group® (NASDAQ: DSPG), a global leader in wireless and voice
processing solutions, announced that Nortek Security & Control
has selected DSP Group’s SmartVoice system-on-chip (SoC) with
HDClear™ advanced low-power voice processing algorithms to
power its Numera® Libris 2® mobile personal emergency response
system (mPERS). DSP Group’s SmartVoice technology allows the Libris
2 to maintain a crystal-clear two-way voice call with emergency
response services upon activation through fall detection or
deliberately by the user.
In such situations, every second matters. After a fall, the user
may be in a weakened state, immobilized, faint of voice, and in and
out of consciousness. The Libris 2 itself may have fallen off of or
be covered by the user. In all these scenarios, the combination of
the SmartVoice SoC and HDClear form the critical elements for
crystal clear two-way voice interaction and contribute greatly to
condition monitoring and rapid user recovery.
“An aging demographic on a global scale, a demand for greater
independence and mobility, and rapidly changing healthcare
regulations, have combined with advances in semiconductor and voice
processing technology to allow us to truly make a difference in
people’s lives,” said Ofer Elyakim, CEO of DSP Group. “We are
excited that Nortek chose our SmartVoice SoC and HDClear algorithm
to contribute to user quality of life and enable potentially
life-saving features such as two-way voice interactions.”
The SmartVoice SoC is an audio/voice SoC optimized for
voice-processing algorithms, while HDClear is a specific set of
voice processing algorithms that supports two-way voice-call, along
with other voice/audio related features, such as continuous
wake-word listening and voice activation. DSPG’s two-way voice
technology also complements the many ground-breaking advances on
the Numera Libris 2, including improved GPS location accuracy and
4G/LTE support, advanced fall detection based on sensors and
cloud-based fall-detection analysis.
“The Libris 2 embodies the latest in advanced mPERS features and
capabilities that allow us to bring security, safety, and peace of
mind to both users and their caretakers alike,” said Michael Pirie,
Nortek Security & Control Vice President of Health &
Wellness. “One of the many decisions we have to make in any
portable device is how to balance power consumption, features, and
performance. Working with DSP Group has helped us greatly to
optimize battery life while adding the features and performance our
customers demand.”
The Libris 2 mPERS pendant will be showcased at
CES 2020 (Jan 7 - 10) in DSP Group’s Private meeting room, along
with a select array of the many products powered by DSP Group’s
technologies. To secure a demo session contact info@dspg.com.
SmartVoiceDSP Group’s SmartVoice technology is
a customizable, low-power, integrated audio-centric platform that
improves the user experience with voice-enabled devices, such as
wearables, smart home/security devices, home gateways, set-top
boxes, smartphones, tablets, smart speakers and TVs. Featuring DSP
Group’s SoC and HDClear—its proprietary far-field
algorithm—SmartVoice delivers beam-forming, noise reduction and
acoustic echo cancellation (AEC). Using these techniques, it
achieves more effective isolation of voice from surrounding noise
to deliver superior voice-enabled experiences in almost any
environment.
