From January 24-27, 2006, TMC will host the 13th INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, the industry’s #1 VoIP conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

 

On Wednesday, January 25, 2006, Ian Colville, Product Manager for Aculab along with Rick Bye of D2 Technologies will be presenting a session titled “VoIP Without DSPs: Challenges & Opportunities” as part of the IP Telephony Development track at INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO East.

 

Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) may feel themselves left out of the picture when it comes to VoIP solutions. They can look to ‘VoIP enable’ their legacy equipment or seek out IP-Centrex offerings, but are IP centric solutions solely within the reach of the larger corporate enterprises? Host-based media processing (HMP) provides the ideal VoIP solution for SMEs as these solutions remain scalable and easily ported to higher density products when required. On the consumer front, advancements in RISC processor technology have eliminated the need for a separate DSP core in low channel count VoIP endpoints by the introduction of RISC based SOCs These DSP-less solutions can enable the lowest system and ownership costs for VoIP devices. Come to this session to learn more about the challenges and opportunities for VoIP without DSPs.
