[April 12, 2005] Kane Computing, Adaptive Digital Sign Agreement to Broaden Distribution Network of Texas Instruments-Based DSP Algorithms, Chips, and Solutions Tweet CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., April 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Seeking to enhance the international distribution of digital signal processing (DSP) solutions, Kane Computing Ltd (KCL) has signed a distribution agreement with Adaptive Digital Technologies, Inc. (Adaptive Digital) to represent them in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Under the provisions of the agreement, KCL will market and sell Adaptive Digital's portfolio of DSP algorithms, chips and solutions, such as voice compression, conferencing, telephony signaling, voice over IP (VoIP), noise reduction and echo cancellation for use with the Texas Instruments TMS320(TM) family of DSPs. "We are very excited to be partnering with Kane Computing," said Brian McCarthy, president, Adaptive Digital Technologies. "Our partnership with KCL fills a gap in our international sales coverage in a key territory and we look forward to the increased exposure our relationship with KCL will provide. Kane has proven expertise in driving the sales process and, more importantly, understands their customers and their needs. By combining our DSP technology with Kane's strong presence in the region, we are opening the door for many new opportunities." Adaptive Digital's flagship product is the patented ITU G.168-2002 echo canceller, offered as both a network echo canceller and line echo canceller. The network echo canceller supports echo tails up to 128 msec, while the line echo canceller supports tail length up to 32 msec. Independently tested at AT&T's voice quality test lab, Adaptive Digital's G.168-2002 echo canceller has been certified as carrier grade and is fully compliant with the Texas Instruments eXpressDSP(TM) Software and Development Tools. Adaptive Digital's echo canceller has been deployed in more than 40 countries. Adaptive Digital's G.PAK(TM) is a scalable and configurable voice-over- packet DSP software solution. G.PAK provides all the DSP components necessary for a voice-over-packet system and provides an application interface to allow easy integration into a user's application. Adaptive Digital's G.PAK base algorithm set includes G.711 and G.168 - 2002 compliant network echo cancellation. Adaptive Digital solutions, based on G.PAK(TM) technology, include high- density conference chips designed to provide conference call capability to telephone systems. The solution is designed using the Texas Instruments TMS320C6415 DSP. Each 600 MHz DSP can host up to 512 channels of VoIP, conferencing, tone detection, tone generation, voice record and playback and other functions. Adaptive Digital's ipPhoneChip(TM) includes all the DSP functionality necessary for a high quality IP speakerphone. The ipPhoneChip runs on the Texas Instruments TMS320C5471 dual-core processor. Adaptive Digital will soon be offering an IP phone reference design kit, based on its ipPhoneChip(TM). This same IP phone was recently showcased along with other consumer products at the Texas Instruments Developer Conference 2005 in Houston, Texas. "We have been looking for a partner who provides a wide range of top quality telecom and audio software solutions combined with first class support," said Richard White, Managing Director of KCL. "I am pleased to say Adaptive Digital provides this combination. Their algorithms, chips and solutions align perfectly with our overall strategic marketing activities."
