Redpine’s RS9110 SDIO based design is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ for Voice-Personal
San Jose, CA — July 23, 2008 — Redpine Signals, Inc., a leading developer of ultra low power
multi-standard OFDM and MIMO silicon-based solutions, today announced
the successful certification of its ultra low power Lite-Fi™ 802.11n
SoC for Voice-Personal, the Wi-Fi Alliance’s newest certification
program for ensuring the delivery of good voice quality over a Wi-Fi
link. Redpine’s RS9110 Lite-Fi™ device enables a new generation of
Wi-Fi based VoIP phones that will make available the advantages of
802.11n connectivity at a cost similar to or less than those that use
conventional 802.11b/g connectivity.
Voice
over Wi-Fi is becoming increasingly popular as greater numbers of
mobile phones are getting equipped with Wi-Fi capability. Common Wi-Fi
environments, however, have a mix of voice and data traffic, where the
available bandwidth needs to be shared. The delivery of uniformly
satisfactory quality of voice to the user in these environments depends
on the successful prioritization of voice communication over data,
audio or video traffic. Through the Voice-Personal certification
program, the RS9110 has proven that it meets strict performance level
requirements for key voice-related metrics, such as packet loss,
latency and jitter.
"Voice
over Wi-Fi, both in consumer and enterprise applications, is an
intriguing and growing market opportunity. 802.11n, including 802.11n
single stream, offers increased network capacity and an enhanced user
experience," said Victoria Fodale, Manager, Market Data/Intelligence
for In-Stat. "When VoWiFi and 802.11n are combined with ultra low power
for battery operated mobile devices, mass market adoption becomes very
much a reality. The Wi-Fi Alliance Voice-Personal certification further
validates the anticipated market demand for a high-quality Voice over
Wi-Fi experience."
The RS9110, with
breakthrough power consumption numbers, is designed for mobile and
handheld consumer devices with targeted Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ functionality
for power-saving voice/video traffic (WMM®-Power Save)and for ease of
establishing secure connectivity (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™).The RS9110
incorporates a variety of features that ease the integration of WLAN
into VoIP platforms, including clock and power management.
"Redpine’s
Lite-Fi product family offers differentiating performance and power
advantages achieved through six years of research and backed by over
100 patents in all relevant areas of architecture, signal processing,
algorithms and low-power implementation," said Mr. Venkat Mattela,
Chief Executive Officer of Redpine Signals Inc. "With the WLAN spectrum
becoming increasingly crowded, Wi-Fi based on 802.11n will enable
capacity to increase while maintaining and enhancing user experience in
the home, office, and public hotspot scenarios. By offering a product
that is among the first single-stream client products to be certified
for the Wi-Fi 802.11n draft 2.0 standard as well as Voice-Personal,
Redpine is pioneering the growth of the voice-over-WiFi market
–providing both a quality user experience as well as the preservation
of the 802.11n advantage in enterprise networks" he said.
