By Tim Gray, TMCnet Web Editor

Voice and video software engine provider SPIRIT DSP said Huawei (News - Alert) Technologies has licensed SPIRIT's TeamSpirit 3.0 Voice Engine PC.

Huawei Technologies, a provider of next-generation telecommunications network solutions to operators around the world, will now offer PC VoIP solution to its operator and service provider customers.

"Huawei's choice underscores the enormous demand for wideband VoIP,” Alex Kravchenko, vice president of Sales and Marketing at SPIRIT DSP (News - Alert), said.

”TeamSpirit Voice Engine PC is backed by award-winning proprietary technology that offers unprecedented quality.”

Kravchenko noted global telecom solutions provider Huawei’s recent growth as one of the fastest growing suppliers of mainstream Next Generation Network (NGN) solutions in the world, serving 31 of the world's top 50 operators.

In fact, says Kravchenko, products and solutions of Huawei are deployed in over 100 countries and serve over one billion users worldwide. Being the top Chinese telecoms gear maker, Huawei expects contract sales to come in at $16 billion this year, beating the company's previous target by nearly seven percent, thanks to fast growth in overseas markets.

The selection of TeamSpirit Voice Engine PC by Huawei is expected to advance the adoption and widespread deployment of embedded Internet Telephony (News - Alert) over IP networks for IMS/NGN.

TeamSpirit 3.0 Voice Engine PC is a part of SPIRIT's complete, pre-integrated IMS-ready solution TeamSpirit 3.0 Voice and Video Engine PC which encapsulates wideband voice and video processing to offer the smoothest video and voice integration experience for NGN services and applications. Thanks to unique SPIRIT proprietary technology, the engine successfully solves all the issues encountered in V2oIP communications, including voice and video lips sync.

The TeamSpirit engine seamlessly bundles standard and proprietary wideband voice and video codecs, acoustic echo and noise cancellation, packet loss concealment, adaptive jitter buffer and network optimizing functionality, voice/video synchronization.

“TeamSpirit Voice Engine PC is backed by award-winning proprietary technology that offers unprecedented quality,” said Kravchenko.
