When it comes to telephone technology, cell phones generate most of the excitement. But don't count out standard cordless phones.
Cordless landline phones continue to evolve. Just a few years ago, 2.4-gigahertz models were considered cutting-edge. Now 5.8-GHz phones are in stores.
And that's just the beginning, says Yaniv Arieli, president of chipmaker DSP Group Inc.'s U.S. unit.
With offices in Santa Clara, Calif., and Israel, DSP Group makes digital signal processors. These chips take signals like voice waves and convert them into digital bits and bytes.
DSPs are paving the way for cordless phones to add new features. Emerging models will have video screens just like cell phones, Arieli says. And they'll let people connect to the Web, just like cell phones.
Arieli spoke with IBD about the future of cordless telephones.
