A performance increase for the uC5272 product line is planned for Q3 2008.

Collaboration with Arcturus Networks provides “out-of-the-box” M53281 and M53721 ColdFire^® solutions for industrial VoIP

AUSTIN, Texas – Oct. 1, 2007 — Freescale has introduced an embedded voice-over-IP (VoIP) reference platform solution designed to speed time to market for industrial embedded voice applications using VoIP technology. Developed in collaboration with Arcturus Networks Inc., the solution is available as an evaluation and development kit, a ready-to-use module, or a microcontroller (MCU) and software combination for integration into a customer’s hardware and software product.

Freescale’s M53281KIT is a VoIP reference platform, evaluation and development kit featuring a host board, VoIP module based on the ColdFire^® MCF53281 MCU family, VoIP voice processing software and a Middleware stack from Arcturus. The comprehensive hardware and software solution is ideal for residential, industrial and commercial embedded voice using VoIP applications, such as intercom systems used in residential, commercial and industrial settings.

A performance increase for the uC5282 product line planned for Q3, 2007 has successfully completed quality control testing and the product is available for ordering.

A performance increase for the uC5282 product line is planned for Q3, 2007. The performance increase is the result of the availability of an 80MHz MCF5282 ColdFire processor from Freescale^® Semiconductor. Existing products using the standard 64MHz MCF5282 ColdFire processor will remain available with no life cycle status change. The 80MHz product will be uniquely identified by part numbers beginning with uC5282-4E16C80. The product will be RoHS compliant and available in extended temperature versions.

To address shifting market needs, the firmware suites including SIPstream and MIBflex will no longer be made available by Arcturus as product specific platforms for CPE class residential gateway applications for OEMs. Instead, effective immediately, Arcturus will begin to offer embedded middleware solutions for device management, voice and media. Embedded middleware solutions enable core device functionality by creating a known sub-system with a defined API. This enables product developers to focus on their core application and take advantage of industry leading technology developed by Arcturus in a greater scope of applications.
