4G World, Chicago, USA: Imagination Technologies, a leading
multimedia and communications technologies company, is
launching its HelloSoft 4G VoLTE solution for smartphones,
tablets, and mobile computing devices at 4G World 2011 in
Chicago (24-27 October, stand 1430).
Imagination's HelloSoft V.VoIP (voice and video over IP)
SDK's enable the most comprehensive multiplatform mobile
device solutions in the world for delivering the full range
of two-way real time communications including Voice over LTE
(VoLTE), Voice Call Continuity (VCC) Video and Voice over IP
(V.VoIP) and SMS over IP.
Imagination's VoLTE solution is fully standards compliant
with 3GPP Voice over LTE and IR-92 specifications, and
incorporates award winning multiplatform HelloSoft VoIP
technology featuring AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation) and NC
(Noise Cancellation) to produce superior voice quality on 4G
mobile devices.
Says Tony King-Smith, VP marketing, Imagination: "VoLTE is
the future of cellular voice communications and is beginning
deployment now. It's exciting to see VoLTE open up a wide
range of new use cases and capabilities for voice-based
communications, evolving voice from basic audio telephony
into a highly integrated capability permeating all aspects of
smartphone functionality. We are excited by the prospects for
Imagination's technologies being at the forefront of this
evolution."
The HelloSoft V.VoIP SDK and VoLTE solutions are ideal for
mobile device developers, OEMs and carriers. The
products offer developers, OEMs and carriers outstanding
voice quality over 4G LTE networks, and at the same time
provide a path to rapid development of innovative next
generation voice enabled applications.
Says Allan Johnson, general manager, HelloSoft V.VoIP at
Imagination Technologies: "Carrier network
interoperability can be very complex and achieving
outstanding voice quality is difficult across varied network
conditions. Furthermore, achieving highly reliable
performance on a diverse range of mobile device chipset
architectures is challenging. To solve this, we created easy
to use APIs that are portable across Android, iOS, Linux and
Windows operating systems for essentially 'write once, run
anywhere' code while at the same time providing SDK
implementations that are highly optimized across processor
and modem architectures. Imagination's HelloSoft V.VoIP SDKs
and VoLTE solution are simply the most comprehensive high
performance multiplatform solutions on the market for voice
and video over IP on 4G mobile devices."
Imagination's HelloSoft voice and video over IP products also
include field proven Dual Radio Voice Call Continuity
(DR-VCC) technology with capability to support Single Radio
VCC. Combined with the HelloSoft VoLTE solution, HelloSoft
VCC enables seamless handoff of VoIP and circuit switched
calls across 4G/3G/2G networks and also between multiple IP
networks such as LTE, WiFi and WiMAX.
Imagination's HelloSoft V.VoIP solution is also available as
a complete turn-key client.
