Linda: VLSI news... VLSI Licenses NCTI Algorithms For Use In ICs For Cellular And PCS Phone Market Stamford, Conn.--Feb. 10, 1998--Noise Cancellation Technologies, Inc. announced that VLSI Technology, Inc. has licensed NCTI's Clearspeech noise cancellation and Clearspeech echo cancellation algorithms for use with its current and future ICs targeted to the digital cellular and PCS phone market, as well as emerging computer telephony markets. In consideration for this license, NCTI will receive an up front license fee and ongoing per-unit royalties. These noise cancellation algorithms will be integrated by VLSI into their VVS3670 Vector Multicore Development Platform, a multicore development environment composed of a flexible development platform supported by a complete suite of software tools and embeddable cores. That will allow VLSI to incorporate the algorithms as options into their own digital baseband standard products, as well as into ASIC designs for VLSI customers. Additionally, VLSI will supply NCTI with noise cancellation ICs and other VLSI ICs for use by NCTI for all of its applications. NCTI's Clearspeech algorithm is specifically designed to remove background noise from speech and other transmitted signals. It can be used in conjunction with line cards, switches, PBX's, car phones, air phones, cellular and public telephones, two-way radios, microcassette recorders, dictation devices, teleconferencing systems, and speech-activated "smart" consumer products. The echo cancellation algorithm cancels acoustical echo for all hands-free telephony operations, including cellular and speaker phones. The current list of licensees for Cleardpeech technology includes Intel Corp., Oki Electric Company, HM Electronics, and Interactive Products, Inc.
