Artesyn Embedded Technologies and Vantrix Demonstrate New Voice Codec Capability that Enables Up to 3X Speech Transcoding Density
At Mobile World Congress today, Artesyn Embedded Technologies and
Vantrix are showcasing new voice codec capability on Intel (News - Alert)® Architecture
processors that delivers up to three times the speech transcoding
capability of existing purpose-built media processing platforms. The
companies are showing how the combination of high performance Intel®
processors with integrated graphics, combined with software-based speech
processing, can yield up to 3000 speech encoding sessions per processor.
These advancements will bring new efficiencies to voice transcoding
applications in operator networks and enterprises.
A proof-of-concept demonstration on the Intel booth (8.1E41) will enable
processing of up to 140,000 channels of G.711 to G.729 transcoding in an
Artesyn carrier-grade server, the highest density per rack unit (RU) in
a standards-based server. This solution combines software expertise from
Vantrix and Artesyn's high density computing hardware system, which
leverages removable SharpStreamer™ PCI (News - Alert) Express media accelerator cards
that can be used in a range of Artesyn or third party platforms.
Stephen Dow, president, Artesyn Embedded Technologies, said: "This
integrated solution will deliver tremendous flexibility for our
customers, who need to deploy virtual network functions or VNFs across
multiple hardware platforms. Our approach scales from edge to core with
the highest density per RU to help carriers lower their OpEx."
Sandra Rivera, vice president and general manager, Network Platforms
Group, Intel Corporation, said: "By using Intel®processors, Artesyn and
Vantrix have the performance needed to deliver impressive speech
transcoding capabilities. This gives customers the flexibility to deploy
applications such as VoLTE, session border controllers, and media
gateways as virtual network functions."
Jean Mayrand (News - Alert), chief executive officer Vantrix, said: "Vantrix is excited
to showcase next-generation real-time speech capabilities on Intel®
processors. These ultra-high-density processing improvements available
from Artesyn, together with our cloud-based media processing solution,
will help operators and enterprises be more profitable and efficient for
real-time communications, including via WebRTC and VoLTE."
