Fortemedia announced that its technology called SAM (Small Array Microphone) has been adopted for DoCoMo's FOMA Raku-Raku PHONE III (FOMA F882iES) handset that is manufactured by Fujitsu Limited.

Together with Fujitsu and Fortemedia, DoCoMo's FOMA Raku-Raku PHONE III aims to solve these annoying problems by applying the patented Small Array Microphone (SAM) technology to create Beamforming, which suppresses undesired noise such as traffic noise, public broadcasts and conversational din by 20 dB.

Furthermore, to enhance the intelligibility and the clarity of mobile phone conversations, FOMA Raku-Raku PHONE III first uses SAM to measure noise level of the user's environment, and then uses HAKKIRI VOICE (Clear Voice) Technology to improve voice quality for clear voice communication.

Dr. Paul Huang, Chairman and CEO of Fortemedia, said, "DoCoMo has been leading the mobile communications market by offering innovative products and services for its customers; we are excited by the fruits of working with the Fujitsu engineering team to create this visionary product. This is one of the most significant breakthroughs in microphone architecture and telephony performance history in the last 130 years."
