As more service providers shift their networks to IP, the need to leverage existing infrastructure is going to continue to drive growth in the VoIP and network gateway markets. Voice Media Platforms (VMP) from Performance Technologies give system providers the tools they need to meet this demand.

The Voice Media Platform is available in a 4U, 7U, or 12U NEBS-compliant form factor that enables telecom system providers to rapidly design and deploy scalable, best-in-class solutions consisting of pre-integrated media blades, T1/T3 network access cards, processor engines, redundant Ethernet switching/routing, network attached storage and system management, as well as N+1 redundant power and cooling.

These platforms are designed from the ground up to act as cost-effective bridges between TDM legacy communication systems and VoIP networks or as the ideal foundation for implementing new interactive and multimedia applications. Available with a broad range of capabilities and capacities, the 12U VMP can support up to 13,824 ports of G.711 in a single unit.

Leading Technology

The VMP family provides telecommunication design engineers and system integrators with a single hardware solution combining voice and media processing technology that can be easily used to create communication servers, unified messaging systems, IVR systems, IMS media gateways, next generation multimedia systems, as well as provide interworking functions or enhance existing communication service applications. All members of the VMP series adhere to PICMG® 2.16 specifications for Ethernet-based packet switching backplane and provide IPMI support for remote chassis OA&M management via CLI and SNMP.

Performance Technologies’ Voice Media Platforms are built around the Media Blade MB6224 which combines world-class media and voice processing capability and network access components into an integrated, open systems solution. It provides a robust feature set of functions for voice coding, echo cancellation, conferencing, and fax relay. The MB6224 can support up to 896 ports of VoIP on a single blade while providing wireless internetworking functions, including T.38 fax.

VMP systems feature a Carrier Grade Linux® (CGL) operating system and development environment (NexusWare®) that allows developers to spend their efforts where it counts, developing applications, rather than integrating the hardware elements of their system. Based on components and technology that have been deployed and field proven worldwide, this directly translates to more revenue, faster.

In addition to being CGL Registered and POSIX-compliant, the NexusWare software suite includes an extensive list of installable protocols such as MTP2, SIP, HDLC, and ISDN. These protocols can be leveraged to quickly build a wide range of solutions such as media gateways, lawful intercept platforms, SS7 monitoring equipment for usage/billing applications, and converged network services.

While there are many hardware options available for designers today, PICMG® 2.16, initiated by Performance Technologies, offers just the right mix of cost, capability, footprint, and power consumption for hosting your application. Supported by the broadest array of equipment suppliers and products in the embedded computing industry, PICMG® 2.16 provides a complete and powerful hardware foundation required for both current and future projects.
