Digital Cordless
Infineon Technologies offers a complete cordless platform portfolio for digital cordless applications like DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication), DECT 6.0 and CAT-iq™ (Cordless Advanced Technology – internet and quality), the new generation-digital cordless standard.
This portfolio covers all market segments and provides solutions for all price levels with and without answering machine - from low-featured and low cost entry models via more exclusive standard models to high-featured comfort models, VoIP access and broadband solutions.
Infineon has been setting the track records for Digital Cordless since 1990. The Infineon expertise embraces all DECT generations from the beginning via 6th, 7th and 8th generation devices up to the COSIC™ family. COSIC™ is the first fully integrated single chip solution (Baseband, Transceiver and Power Amplifier on one single chip). Infineon’s solutions are confronted with the current cordless market requirements as described below:
Cost reduction:
low-cost solutions are driving the market. The low-cost segment is exclusively price-driven. End devices of this segment require only a base feature set focused on “plain but easy” telephony. The COSIC™ family leads to significantly reduced product development cycles combined with the highest RF-performance.
Customization:
a flexible portfolio is enabling highest customer differentiation needs. A high customization level serves different markets and all benefit-cost ratio needs. Furthermore, all combinations and products interoperate with each other.
Leading edge technology:
new and attractive features open new markets. CAT-iq™ enables an enlarged feature-variety. Best voice quality through wideband speech, broadband access and VoIP as well as multimedia applications are only some of the CAT-iq™ enrichments. The COSIC™ family in conjunction with Infineon gateway products is the best basis for enhanced functionality and CAT-iq™ devices.
Convergence:
the digital cordless market goes VoIP and joins the IAD world. VoIP-DECT combos with new applications are creating new demand. Gateways with DECT application will become an inherent part within the home in the future.
