D2 Technologies Partners With Altair Semiconductor to Create Ultra-Low Power 4G VoLTE Communications Solution

CHICAGO, IL and SANTA BARBARA, CA — 4G World 2011 -- D2 Technologies, the market leader in embedded IP communications software platforms, today announced that it has partnered with one of the world's leading suppliers of commercial semiconductor solutions for FDD/TDD LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology), Altair Semiconductor, to meet the demand for turnkey LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology) solutions. D2's mCUE®, a converged 4G mobile communications client for Voice over LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology) and RCS video calling applications, has been successfully integrated with Altair's FourGee?-3100/6200 LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology) chipset platform. This provides OEMs and ODMs with the power efficient and small footprint solution required to deliver mobile handsets, data cards/dongles and other embedded devices to market that encompass a complete 4G communications solution over LTE (Long Term Evolution, latest standard in the mobile network technology).

Last month, D2's mCUE and its underlying vPort embedded IMS VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) software platform successfully completed the VoLTE Interoperability Testing Event in Beijing, China and Dusseldorf, Germany, organized by the MultiService Forum. Altair's FourGee chipsets have successfully been used in dozens of field trials around the world by the industry's leading infrastructure vendors and carriers.

"We are very excited to partner with a leading solution provider just as D2 to offer advanced solutions to the market," said Eran Eshed, Co-Founder and VP of Marketing and Business Development of Altair. "Data services over LTE are already a commercial reality in many markets globally, and as a company striving for constant technology, we found an excellent partner in D2 for introducing the straightway evolutionary step for LTE -- voice, implemented over LTE."

"Altair was one of the first to recognize the global shift to 4G, and exactly to TD-LTE," said Doug Makishima, Chief Operating Officer for D2. "By partnering with Altair, we are leveraging its market differentiation by offering clients one of the industry's first VoLTE semiconductor and software platforms. By integrating mCUE and its strengths in VoLTE and RCS video calling applications with a commercially ready LTE chipset, we are able to offer to our OEM/ODM clients a turnkey VoLTE solution that enables them to meet the needs of carriers in Asia, Europe and the U.S. with a single product."
