Aculab to Release Prosody X CompactPCI to General Availability

MILTON KEYNES, U.K. - Aculab plans to release the Prosody X CompactPCI (cPCI) card to general availability, following recent evaluation trials. Prosody X cPCI is an IP media processing platform - a new telco grade variant in the Prosody X product line that was released earlier this year.

Prosody X cPCI offers 'mix and match' modules to scale a range of applications. The cPCI variant offers a selection of firmware algorithms that can run independently on its DSPs, as well as the option of adding a primary rate trunk module. Up to eight DSPs can be selected to run the algorithms and with each DSP capable of supporting up to 150 channels, a total of 1200 channels per card is achievable. Key media processing resources include record and playback with a range of compressions, DTMF tone generation and detection, matrix conferencing, echo cancellation, a range of voice codecs, fax processing and data transmission protocols.

The platform enables solutions for a range of target applications, including media and signaling gateways, IP media servers and contact centers. The product feature set is to be enhanced with additional functionality, enabling the development of solutions for the mobile market, IMS and video communications.
