Partnership with Archwave AG of Switzerland will open new market segments for RAVENNA 11 Sep 2013
While experiencing strong support by more than 20 renowned partner companies from the professional broadcast market, RAVENNA now receives interest from SOC providers: Archwave, a manufacturer providing cost-sensitive solutions-on-the-chip, has now expressed major interest in RAVENNA by entering into an official partnership and collaboration agreement with ALC NetworX, the company behind RAVENNA.
Archwave provides easy-to-integrate ASIC solutions which allow manufacturers to provide rich-featured I/O capabilities in their audio products, specifically tailored to the needs of high-quantity and price-sensitive market segments. Under the collaboration agreement, ALC NetworX transfers RAVENNA implementation know-how to Archwave in order to speed-up development of a low-cost RAVENNA SOC solution based on Archwave's DM1500E / DM2500N BeBop platforms.
Arie van den Broek, CEO of Archwave: For a longer period, Archwave has been investigating for a powerful and proven audio-over-IP technology for porting to our ASIC-based platforms. After careful consideration we came to the conclusion that RAVENNA's foundation on open technologies, its strong user-base in the most demanding markets and its future vision, were the deciding factors for choosing a state-of-the-art technology platform.
By expanding the range of currently available FPGA-based high-performance RAVENNA solutions with a selection of cost-efficient, yet powerful ASIC-based modules, we are offering customers a wide and flexible choice for RAVENNA implementations, serving existing markets and unlock new market-segments such as Sound Reinforcement and M.I. as well. The collaboration with ALC NetworX will enable a fast route-to-market, while RAVENNA's standards-based architecture will retain the pathways open to support other standards like AES67 or AVB as well.
We are excited about the cooperation with ALC and RAVENNA partners to drive a powerful audio-networking technology to a broad market acceptance.
Andreas Hildebrand, Senior Product Manager of ALC NetworX: We are delighted to see a growing interest in RAVENNA even beyond the Professional Broadcast market. With Archwave, a company with an extraordinary market reputation in providing highly competitive SOC solutions to audio device manufacturers has joined the RAVENNA community. While Archwave's current business focus is on price-sensitive market segments, we also expect significant benefits for pro-audio device manufacturers by lowering the entry costs through the use and integration of Archwave s SOC solution.
