Mindspeed(R) and Excelocity Collaborate to Deliver Integrated Carrier Access VoIP Solutions(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) NEWPORT BEACH, CA, September 2 / MARKET WIRE/ -- Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD), a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, today announced that Excelocity, a developer of embedded gateway solutions, has integrated its carrier-class XL-Gateway Framework software development kit with Mindspeed's Comcerto 300 Series access processors to accelerate signaling and call control application development for carrier access voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways. Combining Mindspeed's Comcerto VoIP system-on-chip and media-processing software with Excelocity's application development framework provides telecommunications and enterprise equipment vendors with highly scalable hardware and software reference designs to rapidly develop IP-based multiservice access nodes (MSANs), IP-digital subscriber access multiplexers (IP-DSLAMs), multi-tenant units/multi-dwelling units (MTU/MDUs), IP-private branch exchanges (IP-PBXs) and multimedia routers. "The growth of next-generation network (NGN) VoIP subscribers will accelerate substantially over the next five years, both through migration from legacy telephone networks and the addition of new subscribers in developing regions," said Greg Collins, vice president of IP telephony Carrier & Set-top Box Market Research with the Dell'Oro Group. "From 2008 to 2012, over 260 million traditional telephone subscribers are forecasted to connect through IP-based NGN media gateways deployed in the access infrastructure." "We are excited to add Excelocity as an OpenMind? development partner," said Kurt Michel, director of marketing for carrier VoIP products at Mindspeed. "The ability of Excelocity's call-control framework to easily integrate third-party signaling protocol stacks such as SIP with customer-specific software is a perfect complement for our Comcerto 300 Series family. Through our collaboration, we now offer our joint customers all of the elements and expertise necessary to implement a successful media gateway solution on a single Comcerto 300 processor." The Excelocity XL-Gateway Framework significantly reduces product development costs and time to market, from years to months, with a modular, highly scalable architecture with high-level APIs for call, media and OAMP control. Available for both Linux and VxWorks platforms, it has been pre-integrated with third-party SIP, MGCP, ISDN and CAS protocol stacks and provides the multimedia path and call control for all combinations of FXS, FXO, ISDN, CAS and SIP calls over PSTN, LAN and WAN networks. Mindspeed's Comcerto 300 Series of multi-core VoIP processors and carrier-class media processing software delivers the industry's most complete VoIP media gateway solution for next-generation network carrier and enterprise applications.
