Dialogic (News - Alert) Inc. boasts an impressive line of communications technologies that power advanced networks, and the latest addition to its portfolio, announced today, is no different.

Known for its innovative technologies such as session border controllers (SBCs), media servers and video gateways, Dialogic’s VAS solutions also support voice and video and mobile video data for 3G and 4G next-gen networks.

Dialogic PowerMedia™ Host Media Processing Software Release 5.0 (PowerMedia HMP 5.0) joins the Dialogic PowerMedia Product family as the first solution to incorporate a distributed architecture. The PowerMedia HMP 5.0 enables enterprise and service provider customers to build innovative cloud-based HD voice and video solutions in both Linux and Windows, according to company officials.

"The Dialogic PowerMedia software portfolio continues to perform very well as a leading media processing engine in the market. With this new addition to PowerMedia HMP, we are delivering an expanded set of multimedia processing and deployment options for our existing customer base and new solution providers," said Franz-Josef Eberle, vice president and general manager of Dialogic's Value Added Services and Cloud Enabling Group.

PowerMedia HMP can scale up to 5,000 simultaneous SIP connections or 1,500 voice sessions and provides HD voice and video play/record, conferencing, multimedia streaming, transcoding, automated interactive audio and video solutions and high-end live interaction applications.

"With the ongoing proliferation of IP networks and cloud computing, distributed software-based media processing is in high demand -- it holds a key for our solution and service providers looking to achieve both efficiency and innovation. We look forward to enabling their continued success in this growing market," Eberle added.  

Utilizing Dialogic's patent-pending video technology, it enhances video quality through improved bit-rate control. It also supports virtualization and runs on general-purpose servers without the need for specialized hardware, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership.

According to Dialogic, PowerMedia HMP 5.0 enables developers to bring many of the multimedia capabilities previously available in the Linux versions of PowerMedia HMP to their Windows-based applications.

"Over the years, Mediatel has delivered numerous contact center solutions in Europe built on Dialogic® media and signaling technologies," said Dan Mazilu, Mediatel Data General Manager. "As we expand into the Americas, PowerMedia HMP 5.0 will play an integral role in enhancing our solutions with HD voice and video capabilities. In addition, we will be able to increase the reliability and flexibility of our solutions by implementing a distributed architecture."
