Fortemedia pioneered the Small Array Microphone (SAM™) technology to provide top-quality voice communications to users. SAM™ technology contains innovative signal processing techniques 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 example, by the DoCoMo Raku Raku III 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 and Fortemedia ASIC Voice Processors 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. Fortemedia continues to improve and maintain leading-edge performance via technology innovations.
