Facility

DVSI HQ and Codec IC Development (Billerica MA)

DVSI's sole facility: headquarters, codec algorithm R&D, and chip specification office in Billerica, Massachusetts (Middlesex County; 25 miles northwest of Boston). DVSI designs the AMBE and AMBE-3000 codec DSP algorithms and IC specifications at this location but does not fab the chips — chip manufacturing is contracted to external foundries. Approximately 50-100 employees. The entire AMBE patent estate and codec licensing operation runs from this one location. DVSI is the single-point-of-failure for the US public safety radio codec ecosystem: if this facility ceased operations, every radio manufacturer deploying P25 or DMR globally would lose access to new AMBE chip supply and license renewals.
