RADVISION, a leading provider of multimedia conferencing, communications platforms and development tools, announced that U.S.-based Atmel Corporation is licensing RADVISION's SIP toolkit to be used on Atmel's product line of wireless and wired Voice-over-IP (VoIP) processors.

The toolkit will be used to bring advanced VoIP capabilities to Atmel's VoIP processor devices that are targeted at embedded applications such as enterprise VoIP WiFi and wired phones and VoIP enabled home routers. Atmel's silicon products with RADVISION's SIP embedded will be used by tier 1 and tier 2 OEMs and original design manufacturers (ODM) that design and develop wireless VoIP handsets for the Enterprise, SOHO, Service Provider and consumer markets.

The use of the RADVISION SIP toolkit will enable Atmel to roll out products that have the high performance, stability and interoperability required for the business and home environments. The highly integrated architecture of Atmel's VoIP processors allows lower cost, lower power consumption and higher performance than other solutions in the market today.

"Atmel is a leader in the design and manufacture of advanced semiconductors that are optimized for use in the embedded VoIP device market with strict requirements for performance and long battery life consideration," said Adi Paz, Senior Director of Product Management and Marketing for RADVISION's Technology Business Unit. "Their choice of our award-winning and high performance SIP toolkit with minimal memory footprint is further validation of the success of our SIP products."

"The RADVISION SIP toolkit has provided Atmel and its customers the greatest assurance of worldwide interoperability with various call managers, SIP servers and hardware and software switches," said Richard Bisset, Product Marketing Director for Atmel's Multimedia and Communications Group. "We chose RADVISION's SIP toolkit because of its high interoperability with other products on the market and its high performance. This allows Atmel's solutions to overcome one of the big barriers that face many other solutions in the market place today. We were especially pleased with the fact that the toolkit provides all the necessary SIP and SDP services, such as encoding, sending, parsing and receiving SIP messages over UDP, TCP and TLS, managing SIP calls and transactions. We found the product easy to use and were able to integrate SIP into our VoIP processors in a surprisingly short amount of time. As such, we are very pleased with our decision to license Radvision's SIP software," concluded Mr. Bisset.
