The Touchbridge Personalized Networking Platform is an enterprise-strength networking system that allows fingertip management of myriad communication, information, and entertainment applications, including high-speed Internet access for delivery of personalized content. Each station in the system is operated by a proprietary Touch-Sensitive Monitor (TSM) that incorporates Andrea's microphone and proprietary noise canceling technologies, including DSDA(R), PureAudio(TM) and EchoStop(TM). The microphone array is built into the monitor's bezel and, together with an accompanying digital signal processing board, the Andrea solution performs highly effective noise and echo-canceling tasks.

"With such a sophisticated networking system, we wanted to offer our clients the best-of-breed in a voice user interface and Andrea was a natural selection," said Keith Miller, Chief Executive Office of Touchbridge Systems. "With Andrea's full duplex solution built into each unit, our customers can experience a voice over IP conversation, untethered, without unwanted echo or other interfering noises."

"This is an important milestone for Andrea, as it represents the first-to-market embedded microphone array for a monitor application," said Joseph Marash, Chief Technology Officer of Andrea Electronics Corporation. "It is a testament to the scalable nature of our technology, as our relationship with Touchbridge displays our capability to install our technologies not only for PC applications, but for home automation applications as well."

About Touchbridge Systems LLC: The Touchbridge Personalized Networking Platform features proprietary flat-panel Touch-Sensitive Monitors (TSMs) and an elegant GUI (Graphical User Interface) designed to operate intuitively for non-computer users. Built into each TSM -- available in 15.7" and 18.1" screen sizes -- are the Andrea microphone array, a video camera, stereo speakers, and a biometric thumbprint scanner that acts as a guard for each user's personal information. In addition, the mounting base contains a subwoofer (a speaker dedicated to low frequencies). Each Touchbridge station in a home or office comprises a TSM and a fully equipped Personal Tower PC. The stations are connected to each other and to the Router and Main Server via 100Mbps Ethernet. The Main Server links to the outside world -- and to the Touchbridge Central Server -- via a Symmetrical DSL connection. Supplied applications include: high-speed Internet access; personal web pages and messaging center; e-mail; voice mail; Internet telephone; video conferencing; video surveillance; and hard drive-based CD jukebox. Each Touchbridge station can run and display multiple applications simultaneously, including DVD-quality audio and video. The Touchbridge system can also be "overlaid" onto control systems (such as those for lighting, climate, security, and entertainment systems), allowing it to serve as a complete home controller as well.
