XceedR Chipsets Enable Operators to Offer Enhanced Multi-Line, Multi-Handset
Services 

SAN JOSE, Calif., 2011-10-27 13:12 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
DSP Group(r), Inc. (Nasdaq:DSPG), a leading global provider of wireless chipset
solutions for converged communications at home, announced today that its
cordless chipset solutions are powering a CAT-iq 2.0 certified home gateway
(HGW) offered by Deutsche Telekom, one of the world's leading integrated
telecommunications companies. Deutsche Telekom's upgraded Speedport W723V Type
A home gateway is one of the first HGWs to receive CAT-iq 2.0 certification
from the DECT Forum. Enabling HD-voice quality across a range of handsets, the
home gateway provides subscribers with 'true-to-life' sound, while opening the
door to a host of value-added multi-line, multi-handset services. 

Already used by Deutsche Telekom subscribers, the home gateway's voice service
is based on the company's digital cordless chipset reference design and powered
by DSP Group's XceedR(tm) family of market-leading chipset solutions. The
reference design enables development of a low-cost, small form-factor module
that can be integrated into diverse broadband residential gateways including
Internet access devices (IADs), cable embedded multimedia terminal adapters
(EMTAs), and IP office PBXs. Based on DSP Group's single-chip architecture, the
reference design reduces development risk, minimizes R&D costs, and lowers time
to market, while guaranteeing CAT-iq support. 

The XceedR family offers the industry's highest flexibility, smallest footprint
and lowest system cost. In addition to delivering HD sound, XceedR provides
worldwide coverage with unmatched range, extended conversation time, unique GUI
functionality, and an enhanced listening experience. 

'The recent increased proliferation of CAT-iq 2.0-certified home telephony
products is a significant market development, since it enables multiple vendors
to offer a range of interoperable devices compliant with cordless technology's
next generation,' said Ulrich Grote, Vice president, Terminal Product
Management Fixed-Line of Deutsche Telekom. 'CAT-iq 2.0 certification of our
home gateways represents another step in Deutsche Telekom's all-IP strategy. In
addition to ensuring HD-voice quality, the certification enables us to provide
our subscribers with enhanced products and services, such as centralized
directories and voicemail on the Internet.' 

'We are delighted to support Deutsche Telekom in making CAT-iq 2.0-compliant
devices more accessible to the home,' said Oz Zimerman, Corporate VP of
Marketing and Business Development at DSP Group. 'Following our recent success
in bringing CAT-iq 2.0 to the handset market, our comprehensive home gateway
solution is another indication of DSP Group's leadership in the cordless
telephony market.'
