EL SEGUNDO, CA -- Market revenue for wireline VOIP
equipment is expected to more than triple between 2004 and 2010 due to
an explosion in the number of residential VoIP users during the next
few years.
That's according to research firm iSuppli Corp., which forecasts the number of residential VoIP subscribers worldwide to
rise to 197.2 million in 2010, from 4.8 million in
2004.
Worldwide VoIP equipment revenue will reach $24.5 billion in 2010,
up more than 300% from $8.04 billion last year. This year, VoIP
equipment revenue is expected to be $12.9
billion.
Japan and U.S./Canada account for 83% of the total residential wireline VoIP subscribers.

Rochester, NY – EMA Design Automation, a provider of electronic design automation (EDA) solutions, has added PTC InterComm to its design tools. The suite of electronic design communication and collaboration products reportedly enable product design teams to hold accurate, in-depth design reviews while streamlining the process. The tools are helpful with distributed design teams or companies with heterogeneous design environments.
“InterComm is an integral part of the design methodology we use to solve the RoHS problem,” said Manny Marcano, president of EMA Design Automation. “We enable the entire product team to review designs for compliance, rather than just the CAD tool users.”
InterComm uses the Internet to address the problem of sharing complex design data. Anyone can view EDA designs created in different environments, including schematic, PCB and BOM data. This eliminates the need to learn CAD software or create other forms of output. Viewers can query intelligent design data and add comments or red-line changes that can be sent back to the user electronically. Only the EDA user can change the actual design files.

The visibility is helpful for compliance review of existing designs. Adding RoHS compliance data to the design allows operations or manufacturing to check for non-compliant components. Likewise, changes made in manufacturing for compliance reasons can be quickly reviewed by the design team.
