An enhanced version of DVSI's AMBE® vocoder technology, DVSI's patented AMBE+2™ vocoder has been implemented by a variety of manufacturers around the world. AMBE+2™ vocoder technology has proven its superior performance in critical communication applications such as digital mobile radio, satellite telephony, cellular networks and in other wireless devices. The success of the AMBE+2™ vocoder has resulted in it being chosen as the standard in digital mobile radio applications including APCO Project 25 and DMR and dPMR.
AMBE+2™ vocoder software libraries are available under license for a variety of Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), plus general and application CPUs including x86, ARM, MIPS and more. In addition, DVSI offers a complete line of hardware products that incorporate AMBE+2™ vocoder technology including half- and full-duplex IC chips, USB devices and vocoder test sets.
Digital Voice Systems, Inc. (DVSI) developed the revolutionary speech compression model AMBE+2™ to provide superior voice quality and performance at low data rates. DVSI’s AMBE+2™ speech compression software is more efficient and less complex than traditional linear prediction-based speech models and therefore supports for more cost-effective implementations and system designs to be produced.
The AMBE+2™ Vocoder sets a standard for high-quality, high-performance speech quality at data rates from 2.0 to 9.6 kbps. The vocoder technology has been shown to outperform DVSI's previously industry-leading AMBE+™ Vocoder. The AMBE+2™ Vocoder outperformed G.729 and G.726 vocoders while operating at only 4.0 kbps, and DVSI's baseline AMBE™ vocoder technology. It is designed to be particularly robust and perform exceptionally well even under bit errors and acoustic background noise conditions.DVSI’s AMBE+2™ Vocoder is more efficient and less complex than traditional linear prediction-based speech models and therefore allows for more cost-effective implementations and system designs. The superior performance characteristics of the new AMBE+2™ Vocoder make it ideally suited for mobile radio, secure voice, satellite communications, computer telephony, and other digital voice and storage applications where bandwidth is at a premium and low data rate, high-quality is imperative.
With the AMBE+2™ Vocoder DVSI has again raised the bar on performance expectations for low rate vocoders for the entire industry.
