Texas Instruments and Ascom Wireless announced that Ascom's i75 voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) handsets are leveraging TI's Wireless LAN (WLAN) IP phone platform, the TNETV1700.

TI's TNETV1700 WLAN IP phone platform serves at the center of Ascom's i75 handsets that support both the 802.11b and 802.11g radio networks, as well as the 802.11i and 802.11e standards for an increased level of security and voice quality. The VoWiFi handsets offer longer talk and standby times based on the high performance and ultra-low power consumption that the TNETV1700 delivers. 

Built-in programmability allows for easy upgrades or expansions as standards and capabilities evolve. 

The Ascom i75 handsets are part of Ascom's complete, standards-based VoWiFi package that also includes a smart, robust messaging system, VoIP gateway that can be integrated with current communications networks, and a Portable Device Manager that simplifies network administration tasks.  Ascom offers two designs of its i75 handsets that are targeted at the healthcare and heavy industry segments. 

Targeted at the enterprise and residential markets, TI's WLAN IP phone platform is a complete solution designed to help developers get to market fast. It includes the TNETV1700 VoWLAN processor, based on TI's proven, power-efficient OMAP architecture used worldwide today by wireless leaders, and TI's TNETW1230 WLAN chipset with software support to meet existing and evolving standards.
