Performance Technologies (PT), a developer of integrated systems, platforms, components and software, introduced today the MG6000 Media Gateway Blade and the complementary NexusWare MG software suite.
The company says its MG6000 Media Gateway is the industry’s highest density T1/E1 media gateway in blade form. The product combines the company’s media and voice processing, network access and signaling components to offer a solution for media gateway functionality.
PT said it designed the gateway blade to be a drop-in solution. The MG6000 can be used in a variety of carrier-grade applications including IMS media gateways, access gateways, Class 5 replacement switches, media servers and wireless interworking functions.
PT explained that the complementary NexusWare MG software delivers complete media gateway, media server and signaling gateway capabilities on the MG6000 hardware platform. NexusWare MG builds upon the capacity provided by the company’s Linux-based NexusWare Core development environment by integrating Q.931, SIP, MGCP and H.248 signaling stacks, as well as the media processing functionality found within the company’s field-proven UniPorte Media and Voice Processing Software.
"With the release of the MG6000, Performance Technologies is continuing on its commitment to develop high availability platforms to meet demanding convergence needs. The MG6000 is part of our Advanced Managed Platform strategy, and it provides our customers with a highly integrated solution that allows them to focus on their own value-add applications," said Tim Resker, media and voice processing product manager for Performance Technologies. "We hope to further penetrate the fast-growing media gateway market by not only providing our OEM customers with key components, but fully integrated platforms as well."
The MG6000 and NexusWare MG is currently available starting at $18,800.
