TranSwitch®
Corporation (NASDAQ: TXCC),
a leading provider of semiconductor solutions in the rapidly growing
consumer electronics and telecommunications markets, today announced
that the Company’s Atlanta™ 80 communication processor has been selected
by Rancore Technologies, the technology and development arm of Reliance
Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL). RJIL is a subsidiary of Reliance Industries
Limited (RIL) focused on the rollout of next generation Broadband
Wireless and Wireline services in India. TranSwitch’s Atlanta 80
processor will enable Rancore’s new analog terminal adaptor (ATA),
optimized for Reliance Jio Infocomm’s upcoming 4G LTE Broadband Wireless
Access (BWA) network, to support multiple services and applications
simultaneously, including high-speed data and Voice over LTE (VoLTE).
RJIL is the only company with a pan-India BWA license, providing access
to all 22 telecom circles in the country. A recent decision by India’s
Telecom Commission allows BWA spectrum holders to setup voice services,
paving the way for Reliance to setup its 4G VoLTE data and voice
network. LTE services are expected to commence in the second half of
2013, with a multiyear rollout plan across India.
“We are excited to be working closely with TranSwitch to develop our new
residential ATA solution optimized for RJIL Broadband network in India,”
said Mr. Atul Agrawal, Vice President – Product Development at Rancore.
“By leveraging TranSwitch’s high performance Atlanta 80 communications
processor and VoLTE software, Rancore’s new equipment will be able to
provide simultaneous high-speed Internet and quality voice service to
enable a superior user experience.”
According to a
recent report by Arc Chart, the number of VoLTE users worldwide is
expected to reach 74 million by 2016. This large install base is
expected to be driven by the transition from circuit-based to IP-based
voice and the continued deployment of LTE data networks. Moreover, many
carriers around the globe are adopting wireless 4G VoLTE over
traditional DSL landline networks due to lower cost per subscriber and
lower maintenance costs.
“VoLTE enables carriers to offer high quality data, multimedia, and
voice services to their users. These networks are especially attractive
in developing countries, helping to deliver advanced services to a
significant portion of the population not supported by wired
infrastructure,” said Tim Blanke, vice president of sales and marketing
at TranSwitch. “Through close collaboration with Rancore, our Atlanta 80
communication solutions are enabling a high performance 4G LTE ATA that
will deliver multiple, simultaneous services without loss of
performance. We are very pleased to be working with Rancore and look
forward to supporting the RJIL VoLTE rollout in India.”
TranSwitch’s Atlanta 80 communications solution combines a RISC
processor, digital signal processor (DSP), and encryption and packet
acceleration engines. This communication processor offers 100 Mbps wire
speed router throughput for Ethernet frames as small as 64 bytes, while
supporting virtual private network (VPN) services. This level of
performance enables multiple, simultaneous services and applications
without loss of performance. The Company’s Atlanta 80 processor is
optimized for secure broadband gateways, media / analog terminal
adaptors (M/ATA), and Voice over IP - Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications (VoIP-DECT) phones.
