TI Wins International Engineering Consortium InfoVision Award

TI's PIQUA technology, announced in January, is a revolutionary new system
of IP quality management tools that enables service providers and enterprise
IT managers to deliver an exceptional level of quality to their consumer and
business subscribers moving to Internet-based services, such as Voice over
IP, Video over IP, IPTV and Internet-based music services. As a leading
provider of digital signal processors (DSPs) and embedded software solutions
for IP-based communications equipment, TI is in a unique position to enable
manufacturers to deliver a wide range of products - from residential
gateways and IP phones to communications infrastructure - that effectively
manage these IP services. It was named the best new product for Network and
Services Management and Operations at the show.

"TI has worked closely with service providers to identify the features and
functions that are most important to them for improving their customers'
quality of experience and determined that our PIQUA technology incorporates
the best tools to meet this goal," said Greg Jones, general manager of TI's
Service Provider Strategic Marketing business. "We are honored that the IEC
has recognized our contributions to improving IP quality of service with
this InfoVision Award for PIQUA."

Entries from telecommunications companies were judged based on the value of
service or technology in solving recognized technology problems, meeting
network requirements, optimising service and performance and/or enhancing
customer service. Additional criteria for consideration included the quality
of innovation, originality and vision, contribution to positive industry
growth and enhanced end-user quality of experience.

A nonprofit organization, the IEC is dedicated to catalysing technology and
business progress worldwide in a range of high-technology industries and
their university communities. Since 1944, the IEC has provided high-quality
educational opportunities for industry professionals, academics, and
