History

D2 technology staff originated from Bell Labs research and design laboratories. The current D2 has grown through dot-com bubble acquisition,^[3] re-invented itself through the dot-com "bust", and continues to release new products into the communications industry.

Products and services

Products currently in the market use D2 Technology's embedded system software for unified communications, especially real time voice, in Internet Protocol systems.

Partial list of software products

• Digital signal processing voice encoder/decoders, audio generators, detectors, and processing algorithms, which meet or exceed ITU specifications.
• vPort, an embedded system software and hardware reference design for voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems which incorporate a voice engine as a software DSP (softDSP) running on a traditional RISC CPU. The voice engine running on a system processor eliminates the need for an external, dedicated digital signal processing chip.
• mCUE, a unified communications embedded software product which provides multiple instant messenger (IM) and VoIP features into a single, graphical, application for mobile phones.^[4] mCUE reportedly works with Google and the Open Handset Alliance with Android.^[5]
