Coffin, marketing manager, DSP Products for Viking InterWorks, "The excellent voice quality of Mindspeed's Comcerto processor combined with sophisticated enterprise features enables us to provide a complete module solution,"

Steve McClure, executive director of marketing for Mindspeed, also emphasized Concerto’s voice quality "Together, Viking InterWorks and Mindspeed address the needs of our customers who demand fast time to market without sacrificing end-user voice quality. Our customers can leverage these modules into custom form factors across multiple densities for both carrier and enterprise applications maximizing their investment."
