DECT SoC from DSP Group enables CAT-iq 2.0 in Orange's Livebox gateways

USA: DSP Group announced that its state-of-the-art DECT/CAT-iq 2.0 DCX System-on-a-Chip (SoC) is integrated in Orange's recently-launched third generation gateways (Livebox Play and Livebox Pro).

DSP Group's DCX family of highly-integrated single-chip solutions cost effectively delivers full residence DECT coverage with multi-line, multi-handset support and crystal clear HD voice. The SoC is embedded with a certified CAT-iq 2.0 firmware, offering a rich set of advanced features, including phone book and call list synchronization.

The DCX SoC's in-field software upgradability allows providers to rapidly bring to market products complying not only with emerging standards like CAT-iq 2.1 and 3.0, but also with the DECT ULE (Ultra Low Energy) standard for home automation. DECT ULE support by residential gateways is forecasted to enable a vast market of Ultra-Low-Energy devices for home control, security and monitoring.
