[edit] Origin of the D2 name
The name "D2" originates from the early 1990's, when the company was originally founded by David Wong, as his second technology startup; thus, the number two. The technology staff originated from Bell Labs research & design laboratories. The current D2 has grown through dot-com boom acquisition,[3] re-invented itself through the dot-com "bust", and continues to release new products into the communications industry.
[edit] Products and services
Products currently in the market use D2 Technology's embedded system software for unified communications, especially real time voice, in Internet Protocol systems.
[edit] Partial list of software products
- Digital signal processing voice encoder/decoders, audio generators, detectors, and processing algorithms, which meet or exceed ITU specifications.
- vPort, an embedded system software and hardware reference design for voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems which incorporate a voice engine as a software DSP (softDSP) running on a traditional RISC CPU. The voice engine running on a system processor eliminates the need for an external, dedicated digital signal processing chip.
- mCUE, a unified communications embedded software product which provides multiple instant messenger (IM) and VoIP features into a single, graphical, application for mobile phones.[4] mCUE reportedly works with the Google and Open Handset Alliance Android (mobile device platform)[5]
