Fortemedia In, OKI Out!

With the combination of Fortemedias FM1073, The Echo Canceller of Echo Cancellers, and a 130dB loud speaker, one can hear the sound of silence with ones own breathing.

March 1st, 2003 - Fortemedia Inc., a privately held company in Cupertino, California, announces a Bluetooth hands free car kit reference design, CarBlueTM, with its FM1073. CarBlueTM will be demonstrated at Cebit Show (in Hannover, Germany), Hall 12 Stand D26-2, Mar.12-19.
The FM1073 is a new generation device designed to set a new cost effective standard for the more advanced hands-free applications demanded in todays safety oriented and competitive consumer market.
The acoustic echo cancellation performance of up to 65dB, makes the FM1073 the best and only choice for the high quality hands-free car kit which requires a very loud volume of greater than 130dB with full duplex capability.

FM1073 Major Features:
*AEC (from 52dB to 65dB)
*Noise suppression (13-18dB)
*Full duplex
*Array microphone support
*Handle non-linear echo
*Differential inputs/outputs significantly increase the system noise immunity.
*Highly integrated (DSP, four A/Ds, two D/As, ROM, and RAM) and small footprint (48pin LQFP)
*UART, and Codec Host Interface for Bluetooth applications

CarBlueTM System Features:
*Support Hands-free, Headset, GAP, and SPP profiles

Fortemedias Echo Cancellation Technologies:
Our patent pending AS3NLF (Adaptive Step-Sized, Sub-band Non-Linear Filter) technologies use a combination of NLMS algorithm with adaptive step-size, sub-band process, post filter, and a non-linear processing engine. This new technology delivers an excellent full duplex capability while maintaining a very high echo cancellation rate of up to 65dB during double talk conditions. The non-linear processing engine identifies and eliminates only the non-linear echo element induced in the real embedded applications, resulting in significantly increased flexibility to achieve superior echo performance.

Pricing and Availability
FM1073 is available now and is priced at $7 each in 1000-unit lot.
