[Libby]

MOSCOW, RUSSIA: SPIRIT DSP, the world's leading provider of carrier-grade voice and video software engines, announced that SPIRIT voice processing software is deployed in the Polycom VVX 1500 business media phone.

The Polycom VVX 1500, with Polycom HD Voice, combines a personal video conferencing system with a fully featured VoIP telephone, open application programming interface (API) and micro-browser for real-time delivery of personalized Web content as well as integration with key business applications.

Being a part of TeamSpirit 3.0 Voice&Video Engine, a voice processing solution based on highly efficient G.729ab codec enables Polycom to provide low bit rate mode support on the VVX1500 for those applications that have especially challenging bandwidth requirements on the customer's network.

Earlier this year SPIRIT announced availability of its carrier-grade TeamSpirit 3.0 Voice&Video Engines for IP-based media phones. The solution has been already integrated into Reigncom's Wave Home device, successfully passed carrier's quality, benchmarking and interoperability tests and launched by Korea Telecom as a part of its Services-over-IP (SoIP) initiative.
