Voice Over IP

Standards-Based Media Firewall for Next-Generation IP Networks

The SnowShore Media Firewall is a high performance media processing platform that enables session-level security for internetworking across multiple carrier and/or enterprise IP networks. It performs critical real-time Network Address Translation (NAT) and dynamic firewalling functions and supports multiple signaling protocols and media transcoding functionality allowing secure traversal and interconnection of IP media streams across multiple network boundaries.

The SnowShore Media Firewall enables OEMs developing call agents, softswitches or application Layer Gateways (ALG) to create session border control solutions. This integrated solution serves as a signaling and media routing engine at the network border to deliver interworking, access control, least-cost routing, SLA support and CALEA law enforcement functionality.

Standards-Based Media Server for Next-Generation IP Applications

The SnowShore Media Server™ is the industry’s premier open standards-based media server that enables solution partners to easily develop next-generation telephony and enhanced voice services through a highly flexible, cost-effective, IP media server solution.

The SnowShore Media Server provides flexible media processing resources that can support a broad range of applications, from basic messaging and multiparty conferencing to prepaid services and network announcements. Because it utilizes small-footprint, industry-standard server platforms and standards-based IP protocols, the SnowShore Media Server can leverage the ongoing evolution of network architectures and processor technology to deliver a future-proof media processing solution for next-generation IP applications.

Carrier-Grade Voice Processing Platform

The Brooktrout Technology TR1500™ is a high-density cPCI platform ideally suited for the deployment of high-availability enhanced services spanning PSTN and advanced IP architectures. It supports channel densities from 4 to 16 E1/T1 in a single slot for highly scalable solutions, and its onboard support for industry standard IP protocols simplifies the design and implementation of next-generation distributed IP architectures.

The TR1500 product family provides a broad range of voice processing and signaling functionality, with voice play/record supporting a variety of standard codecs, onboard prompt cache, conferencing, telephony signaling and G.168-compliant echo cancellation. Its support for PICMG 2.16 switched IP backplane with dual redundant Ethernet connections, SNMP with standard MIBs, PICMG 2.1 hotswap capability, and approvable NEBS compliance makes the TR1500 an ideal choice for high-performance, high-availability enhanced services applications.

Platform for Voice Over Packet Gateways and Enhanced Services

The Brooktrout Technology TR2020™ is an open systems board for Voice Over Packet (VOP) development. This board performs a number of key functions including voice compression and interactive voice response (IVR), as well as fax and data relay. The TR2020 incorporates a unique voice quality monitoring agent, VQmon™. Developed by Telchemy, Inc. and adopted by ETSI, VQmon is the only technology that reports user-perceived voice quality, in real-time, for every call placed through a gateway. VQmon-based reporting can be used to dynamically manage the network, and to support service level agreements (SLAs). Features available on the TR2020 family include on-board packetization, on-board telephony (T1/E1 ISDN, T1 robbed bit signaling and MFC-R2), echo cancellation, approvable NEBS compliance and a growing list of US and international telephony approvals. The use of the open systems TR2020 board will help system developers greatly reduce their time to market.

Platform for Voice Over Packet Gateways and Enhanced Services

The Brooktrout Technology TR2500™ is a high-density cPCI platform ideally suited for the deployment of high-availability systems based on advanced IP architectures. It supports channel densities from 4 E1/T1 to T3 in a single slot for highly scalable solutions, and its onboard support for industry standard IP protocols simplifies the design and implementation of next-generation distributed IP architectures.

The TR2500 product family provides a broad range of voice processing and signaling functionality, with on-board vocoders, RTP packetization, fax and DTMF relay, telephony signaling and G.168-compliant echo cancellation. Its support for PICMG 2.16 switched IP backplane with dual redundant Ethernet connections, SNMP with standard MIBs, PICMG 2.1 hotswap capability, and approvable NEBS compliance makes the TR2500 an ideal choice for high-performance, high-availability systems.
