Siltek Telecoms, a specialist telecommunications distributor, has announced the launch of Aculab's Prosody CompactPCI (cPCI) card. The card enables network operators to have much greater flexibility when looking to tailor their voice and data services to the needs of end users.
Prosody cPCI brings the unique advantages of Aculab's proven speech and digital access technology into the Telco environment. According to Michael Aitken, managing director of Siltek Telecoms, "Prosody cPCI offers integrators and developers the freedom to devise enhanced and reliable Telco grade solutions."
Aitken explains that Aculab has enabled this in two ways. "Firstly, a new software architecture, TiNG, allows developers to choose their own algorithm combination for each digital processor (DSP), presenting the opportunity to `mix and match' from Aculab's extensive algorithm portfolio which includes basic speech and data resources, text to speech (TTS) automatic speech recognition (ASR) and fax."
"Secondly," he continues, "Aculab's product range is fully compliant with the H.110 specifications set by the ECTF (Enterprise Computer Telephony Forum) and with PICMG guidelines, with regards to hot swap." "By doing so", concludes Aitken "Aculab's Prosody cPCI satisfies the 24x7 resilience demands of Telcos while providing the highest density available today."
Chris Gravett, Aculab's sales and marketing director, says, "The TiNG software architecture offers a new benchmark in developer control, allowing them to dictate and make best use of Aculab's range of license free software. The TiNG compilation tool is accessible via the web and allows the configured set of aligorithms to be download from Aculab's website."
