Fortemedia pioneered the Small Array Microphone (SAM™) technology to bring top-quality voice communications to users.
SAM™ technology contains innovative digital signal processing to suppress stationary and non-stationary noises, and to eliminate strong linear and non-linear echoes. The results are prominently improved voice qualities and benefited user experiences in the products that incorporated Fortemedia technology, as evidenced, for instance, by the Fujitsu DoCoMo Raku-Raku mobile phone in 2006.
The SAM™ technology is applicable to a wide variety of consumer and office products, as it promotes voice clarities in both hands-free and hand-held situations, and during mobile and stationary telecommunication conversations. Over the past decade, SAM™ technology, Fortemedia ASIC Voice Processors, and SAMSoft, have been widely deployed in laptop and netbook computers, cellular phones, automotive hands-free, VoIP phones and conferencing terminals, and personal navigation devices.
The latest generation of SAM™ technology contains processing technologies to improve voice and audio experiences simultaneously for both the near-end and the far-end talkers. The latest generation of Fortemedia products includes the new ASIC Voice Processor family, latest SAMSoft, and the new family of Fortemedia MEMS microphone ICs.
Fortemedia continues to improve and maintain leading-edge voice processing performance via technology innovations, and bring them to users in cost-effective forms via a combination of hardware and software products.
