14 DAY TRIAL // Fortemedia announced that its SAM (Small Array Microphone) technology has been adopted for DoCoMo's FOMA Raku-Raku PHONE III (FOMA F882iES) handset that is manufactured by Fujitsu.
The FOMA Raku-Raku PHONE III is intended for anyone who has ever had to make a phone call in a noisy environment, such as a train station, airport, restaurant or even on the side of the street. The handset aims to solve these annoying problems by applying the patented Small Array Microphone (SAM) technology to create Beamforming, which suppresses undesired noise such as traffic noise, public broadcasts and conversational din by 20 dB. Furthermore, to enhance the intelligibility and the clarity of mobile phone conversations, the device first uses SAM to measure noise level of the user's environment, and then uses HAKKIRI VOICE (Clear Voice) Technology to improve voice quality.
Dr. Paul Huang, Chairman and CEO of Fortemedia, stated "DoCoMo has been leading the mobile communications market by offering innovative products and services for its customers; we are excited by the fruits of working with the Fujitsu engineering team to create this visionary product. This is one of the most significant breakthroughs in microphone architecture and telephony performance history in the last 130 years."
DoCoMo will start to sell FOMA Raku-Raku PHONE III for its Japanese 3G FOMA service subscribers in early September 2006.
