High Tech Computer Corp (HTC), one of the largest ODMs in the world, has extended its partnership with Spirit DSP and licensed the company's TeamSpirit Mobile Voice Engine to be integrated into HTC new mobile devices. Spirit has already won several deals with HTC during the last 20 months. Spirit's embedded solutions are already acknowledged as the best by many major global mobile OEMs/ODMs, including Quanta, Compal and HTC.
'HTC is definitely one of the pioneers of mass-market mobile VoIP, it started pilot VoIP projects long ago', said Slava Borilin, VP Products at Spirit.
'As mobile VoIP adoption moves from pilots to world top carriers and services providers, vendors need proven voice engine solutions from Spirit'.
'As market demand matures, service providers and OEMs need higher voice quality, as quality is tightly related to subscribers' satisfaction and churn/retain rates'.

'Experienced SPs and OEMs measure quality of VoIP solutions in the real environments with industrial VoIP testing equipment, setting high expectations for voice quality that only Spirit meets today'.
Spirit surpasses all competing solutions, delivering 4.32MOS quality (out of 5) for VoIP calls over Wi-Fi in lengthy 30min-plus calls, according to the test results of a major Asian mobile carrier.
The average real conversation voice quality delivered by typical VoIP service providers nowadays is less then 3.9MOS, according to the estimations of a leading European VoIP operator.
Mobile video over IP is a next step for mobile devices.
TeamSpirit Mobile Voice and Video is setting new quality level for the whole industry, delivering three-way videoconference calls on mobile feature-phones.
TeamSpirit Mobile voice engine runs on HTC devices promoted by several largest mobile operators in Asia, Japan and Europe under different brand names.
Spirit-HTC co-operation has started in 2005, when Spirit's voice enhancement software was integrated into HTC Universal (the world's first 3G video telephony smart phone based on Windows Mobile 5.0), HTC Breeze and other HTC phones to deliver superior voice quality in full-duplex voice and video conferencing to T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone and other carriers.
The latest Spirit/HTC deal signed in 2007 is the natural evolvement of long-term tight co-operation between the two companies.
