COMMUNICATIONS chip-maker Broadcom and open source developer Trolltech have entered a partnership that aims to create a multimedia VoIP development platform based on Linux.

The companies say they will create a platform for original equipment manufacturers wanting to produce next-generation multimedia VoIP products.

The partnership will combine Broadcom’s VoIP technology with Trolltech’s upcoming Qtopia software, which lets broadband devices offer a “feature-rich” graphical user experience with exceptional voice and video quality.

The companies said the VoIP platform gives OEMs integrated software that will allow for faster time-to-market for next generation IP phones.

Broadcom and Trolltech say the partnership will provide the technology platform that will ultimately support tens of millions of phone users.

“Our Qtopia software is the foundation for 10 million plus consumer electronic devices worldwide so this partnership with Broadcom will enable their customers to build customised next generation IP and mobile devices with robust voice, video, web and multimedia features,” Trolltech chief executive Haavard Nord said.

Qtopia is a software application platform and user interface for embedded Linux devices that has been optimised for Broadcom’s BCM1103 VoIP processors and its VideoCore II multimedia co-processor.
