AudioCodes has extended its IPmedia Media Server product line with the addition of two high density converged (wireless/wireline) media server platforms that address carrier requirements for applications such as business communications, wireless personal communications, fixed-mobile-convergence applications and residential broadband services.
The IPmedia 8000 media server provides support for up to 18,000 low-bit- rate VoIP/VoATM channels of media processing whereas the IPmedia 5000 media server offers up to 8,000 low-bit-rate channels. Those media processing channels can be used to provide centralized announcements, conferencing, Interactive Voice Response (IVR), media transcoding, IP multicasting / IP forking, record & playback, Web-based playback and other media server functions. Both platforms are carrier-grade platforms which are targeting high available, high reliable, mission critical applications and services. They are planned to be released in the first quarter of 2005.
The IPmedia 8000 and 5000 platforms are also designed and optimized to serve as a Multimedia Resource Function Processor (MRFP), supporting both Wireline and 3G (UMTS & CDMA) Wireless networks that have adopted the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture. http://www.audiocodes.com
