MindTree Announces Availability of Acoustic Echo Cancellation Noise Reduction Algorithm on commercial grade Bluetooth Hands-free Solution
With increasing regulatory enforcement of hands-free usage in automobiles, coupled with the need for high quality speech without ambient noise and acoustic echo, MindTree’s ClearMind ECNR algorithm, integrated in the Bluetooth hands-free car kit, delivers a rich hearing experience to the passenger over the car audio system. Using ClearMind, MindTree’s customer saves up to two dollars per chip on costs using spare cycles on the ARM processor, and benefits from a high quality AECNR performance.
MindTree has applied for a patent in recognition of its unique software-level algorithm for ClearMind to provide continued benefits and enhancements to its valued customers.
MindTree also provides the Bluetooth baseband controller and protocol stack and software profiles for the Bluetooth chip that powers this hands-free solution. Such tight integration of complementary blocks provides MindTree customers with a highly optimized solution. In the case of another customer, ClearMind has been integrated into an ISDN terminal which again uses MindTree Bluetooth IP components.
Other applications of ClearMind include conference call equipment, IP phones, VoIP gateways, speech enhancers in speech recognition systems and in feature phones with answer phone facilities.
“MindTree offers value to our Bluetooth technology customers through complementary offerings such as ClearMind. With audio being the killer application for Bluetooth in terms of the multitude of music streaming and gaming applications in the market today, embedded DSP solutions are key to realizing the mass market potential for Bluetooth in the automotive and wireless space,” said S. Janakiraman, MindTree President and CEO, R&D Services. “We shall continue to invest in research and development on Bluetooth technology and offer software as well as hardware solutions as licensable intellectual property and design services.
