The CEVA-VoP platform is built on top of the widely adopted,
fully programmable CEVA-TeakLite-II low-cost DSP engine, and the
Xpert-TeakLite-II integrated subsystem – with cached memory,
peripherals, and system interfaces – capable of handling multiple,
simultaneous voice channels on a single core. The solution includes
a fully integrated VoIP software suite, including speech
compression and decompression, echo cancellation, telephony
functions, and signaling/networking. The incorporated software is
open, allowing design licensees to add proprietary algorithms and
broaden the use of the design to other markets or applications.
"We required a complete hardware plus software VoIP solution
that can be efficiently integrated within our SoC architecture and
provide the necessary performance, power and cost efficiencies
required in the competitive EPON and GPON markets," said Ofer
Bar-Or, PMC-Sierra's vice president and co-general manager, FTTH
division. "CEVA's proven VoIP platform provides our EPON and GPON
products with the required technology to enable multiple
simultaneous voice channels and signal processing functions in our
VoIP-enabled SoCs."
"We are pleased that PMC-Sierra has adopted our DSP-based
platform to provide VoIP functionality," said Gideon Wertheizer,
CEO of CEVA. "The flexibility of the CEVA solution is well suited
to support PMC-Sierra's evolving needs as it continues to enhance
its product lines with additional VoIP functionality."
