Realtek Semiconductor Corp. and Legerity, Inc., the “V” in VoIP™, today announced a turnkey Phone-Ready PC solution that combines a high-performance 7.1+2 channel High Definition Audio Codec with a high-voltage ringing SLIC for VoIP applications. The Phone-Ready PC provides a convenient and economic solution for user-friendly VoIP by supporting phone connectivity.

Solution Provides Traditional Phone Connectivity for Next-Generation PC Motherboards

The solution enables PC vendors to market new platforms that offer extended communications capabilities to consumers, as well as small to medium businesses (SMBs). New users simply plug their current phone into a pre-configured VoIP-enabled PC and begin using a VoIP service.

A traditional phone can be connected to a PC through a high-voltage voice interface implemented using the Legerity Le9501 SLIC. The Realtek ALC888 Telecom High Definition Audio codec, which can simultaneously support 7.1 sound playback and 2 independent channels of voice, and Windows® driver software provide a standard audio interface to the system and support extended calling features.
