Friday, Lockheed Martin (LMT) and Adaptive Digital Technologies signed an agreement to introduce Lockheed Martin's voice compression technology Time Domain Voicing Cutoff to commercial markets. TDVC is a robust speech-coding algorithm that delivers superior voice quality, while operating at much lower bit rates than standard voice codecs of comparable quality. TDVC is highly suitable for voice over Internet protocol wireless communications as well as other markets.
Lockheed Martin's TDVC vocoder was originally developed for military applications where it provided a much-needed low bandwidth, high voice-quality coding scheme to combat harsh communication environments. TDVC is expected to find the same success in the commercial communication arenas due to the continuing need for more bandwidth to accommodate the increasing number of users and data.
