VoIP semiconductors record impressive sales
The increase in VoIP adoption has led to a growth in the consumption of VoIP semiconductors, which has encouraged manufacturers like Texas Instruments to concentrate on releasing new products and companies like Broadcom Corp. have recorded impressive growth rates. The new generation of Ethernet IP phone designs will have inexpensive, single-chip solutions with hardware-based security.
According to a survey by IDC, the market for VoIP semiconductors recorded a growth of 40% in the year 2004. Texas Instruments recorded impressive sales of its Digital Signal Processor (DSP) solutions. Mindway made its presence felt on the basis of its growth in media gateway silicon. Six top IP phone manufacturers purchased IP phone solutions from Broadcom. Broadcom received a fillip in sales with its Gigabit VoIP chip.
Texas Instruments is in the process of creating a voice-over-cable chipset and a DOCSIS reference design. The new chipsets being designed have low-bit-rate codecs that promote efficient use of bandwidth and faster broadband speeds. The Wideband DOCSIS 3.0 reference design will help to improve the performance of VoIP and video streams as it incorporates several up and down streams in a single codec. Marvell will be introducing system-on-a-chip VoIP solutions that will cater to residential VoIP gateways as well as the ultra-low-power VoWAN handsets. The low-power circuit systems by Marvell have features such as WLAN encryption, QoS technology, and WPA/WPA2 security.
