DSP Group was founded in 1987 by Davidi Gilo, who served as the company's CEO and chairman until 1993.[1]

DSP Group developed the world's first telephony answering device (TAD) speech processor in 1989.[2] The company entered the digital cordless industry with the acquisition of Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD) 900 MHz technology in 1999, and the subsequent development of 900 MHz narrow-band cordless and 2.4 GHz multi-handset technology.[3]

In 1993 one of the company's co-founder and its CTO Shabtai Adlersberg started a new company AudioCodes, with the initial investment provided by the DSP Group. AudioCodes become a provider of VoIP technology, and had an initial public offering on the NASDAQ in 1999. In 2004 DSP Group sold all its holdings in AudioCodes making a significant profit on its initial investment.[4]

In 1996 DSP Group spun off its cellular chip design and development division into a new company called DSP Communications (DSPC).[5] DSP Communications had an initial public offering on the NASDAQ the same year. In 1999 Intel bought DSP Communications for US$1.6 billion.[6]

In November 2002, DSP's IP licensing division and the Irish company Parthus Technologies Plc were merged to form a new company called CEVA, Inc.[7]

DSP Group entered into the multimedia communications sector with the acquisition of Teleman Multimedia in 2003.[8] Incorporating VoIP and Wi-Fi technologies obtained through the acquisition of VoicePump and Bermai, DSP Group entered the residential multimedia communications over broadband market with the 2006 development of a chipset integrating DECT and Wi-Fi technologies with an application processor. DSP Group acquired NXP Semiconductors' cordless and VoIP terminals business in 2007.[9]
