Xilinx FPGAs Provide Cost-Effective Solutions to Voice Technologies
 (VTG) is the
leader in PBX integration technology. In 1989, VTG set the standard
for the voice messaging industry by creating VoiceBridge, the first commercially
successful product that bridged the compatibility gap between computer
and telephone technologies, contributing to the rise of the computer telephony
integration (CTI) movement. From its beginning, VTG has identified
opportunities to improve communications through the development of voice
processing technology, that relies on Xilinx FPGAs and CPLDs.
Today, VTG continues to set new standards in the dynamically growing telecommunications marketplace. The VTG vision: to continue to provide communications technology and business solutions, enabling new, more efficient and productive ways for organizations to communicate. A proven and profitable high technology company, VTG is among America’s fastest-growing private firms. Named to the Inc. 500 list in 1996, VTG has continued to exhibit a consistent increase in sales. "Our product architecture is based on adaptable technology that allows us to conform to the ever changing horizon of the computer telephony industry," said Gene Kielty, Director of Engineering for VTG. "Xilinx provides the silicon that enables us to move quickly into the market and make changes to meet the needs of our customers." VTG originally turned to Xilinx during the development of its first high volume desktop product. "VTG's Solar project is a prime example as our first high volume desktop product. The OEM we were dealing with wanted an ASIC solution for cost reasons. Xilinx worked closely with VTG and we were able to hit the cost target with the Xilinx FPGA" said Kielty. In another product development effort, VoiceBridge 2000, VTG was able
to again use Xilinx to develop a better, cost-effective solution.
The predecessor to the product, VoiceBridge-PC contained 10 XC3042s, an
XC3063, and an ISA interface consisting of numerous discrete logic parts
and CPLDs. Use of the Xilinx XC9500 CPLDs allowed VTG to increase
the board's capabilities while reducing overall cost and board space.
"Having Xilinx on board saved us in later stages when VTG was able to implement
new PBX features with a simple software update rather than hardware changes
to the board," said Kielty. "This type of flexibility and price competitiveness
has made VTG a staunch
VTG must stay ahead of its competitors on the road to voice and data network convergence and plans to continue to use Xilinx as a key technology in order to play a central role in this convergence. VTG is currently using the Spartan family of FPGAs in its current product designs. "Xilinx has enabled VTG to build superior products with minimal development time to capitalize on market opportunities. We attribute the industry awards and recognition achieved by VTG products to the superior and cost-effective technology of Xilinx," said Kielty. "Our intellectual property runs on Xilinx and will continue to do so into the next millennium based on the new Spartan series and beyond,” said Kielty. Since its inception in 1989, Voice Technologies Group has maintained and continues to generate record growth. VTG is recognized as a leader in the telecommunications industry, using its expertise in computer and telephony integration to design, manufacture, and market high-performance, leading edge products.
