Media Servers
VoIP architectures have redefined the mechanics of application services delivery, moving signal processing, voice recognition, text to speech and other media services onto media servers; specialized, independently scaling platforms, behind open, industry standard interfaces.
Not all calls demand the same level of media processing services. Unbundling and isolating these demands from the core application provides improved scalability and throughput, and frees the core switching or application processor to optimally manage its predetermined tasks.
Media server tasks can vary widely, from simple DTMF and IVR detection and processing to complex, application level media services solutions.
The VSR1000 and the CX Series from ThinkEngine are a family of powerful, scalable, industry standards based media servers, designed to deliver the full range of voice and media services solutions in both traditional circuit switched networks and the most advanced VoIP and ATM packet switched environments.
The VSR1000 and the CX Series Network Media Servers are NEBS compliant, carrier class platforms, delivering the highest levels of performance and reliability.
Industry experts predict that packet based communications will consume a majority of network bandwidth in the next ten years, making it economically impractical for carriers to maintain separate voice and data networks. Still, many legacy circuit switches are still highly functional, and carriers are looking for ways to gain the full return on their existing infrastructure.
The ThinkEngine suite of Media Servers are ideally suited to provide media services solutions to switch manufacturers and service providers who need to operate in a mixed network environment as well as those building new packet based network offerings.
CX Series
CX Series systems provide N+1 redundancy at the component and system level and are able to provide a zero downtime environment in properly configured network installations.
VSR1000
The VSR1000 is an advanced call processing platform with highly integrated call treatment capabilities. The VSR1000 can provide speech recognition, advanced call routing, and conferencing service to 672 simultaneous VoIP or TDM channels.
