LG Electronics Picks TI

DALLAS -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE:TXN) announced today that LG Electronics Ltd. (LGE) has chosen TI’s Voice over IP (VoIP) products for its access gateway platforms and next-generation trunking gateways. These complete, integrated VoIP solutions, featuring industry-leading solution density and low power, incorporate TI’s programmable digital signal processor (DSP)-based series of access communications processors and field-proven Telogy Software™ for VoIP.

TI silicon and software currently power LGE’s Compact Access Module (CAM), Total Access Module (TAM) and trunking gateways. The combination of processing power, memory, and ultra-low power, make TI’s carrier-class VoIP solution, the TNETV3010, the most advanced VoIP processor available. As the marketplace continues to mature, the two companies expect their agreement on next-generation products to enhance the feature set and functionality of these platforms. This will also include further work together on LGE’s trunking gateways, which are intended to replace existing toll telecom exchange.

“TI’s VoIP solutions are enabling LGE to create very efficiently designed carrier-class gateways,” said Hyeon-Cheol Yi, general manager, NGN department, core network R&D lab, LG Electronics. “The integration of TI’s DSP technology and Telogy Software provides us with a critical component for our next-generation gateway platforms, which will be rolled out in 2005. This should afford our customers the most advanced and highest quality Voice over Packet systems in the industry.”
