Iskratel Deploys Octasic

MONTREAL and KRANJ, Slovenia -- Octasic Inc., a leading innovator of media processing and wireless solutions, today announced that its Vocallo MGW multi-core DSP platform has been selected by Iskratel, a leading developer of adapted and highly-integrated solutions in the field of communications for fast-growing convergent networks. Iskratel has integrated Octasic’s Vocallo MGW platform into the latest version of its well-known and field-proven signaling and media gateway, the SI3000 SMG, launched in October.

Iskratel’s new product version includes a peripheral blade equipped with Octasic’s Vocallo MGW multi-core processor for voice and video over IP. Using Iskratel's SI3000 SMG, operators can upgrade their infrastructure to a next-generation IP network, while still keeping their existing equipment in place, to offer voice services with an optimal user experience.

“The deployment of softswitch-based architectures is a growing trend, but like most telecom operators, our customers have made substantial investments in their network infrastructure and aren’t looking to rebuild from scratch to match this trend,” said Matjaž Jelen, product manager at Iskratel. “Using our latest SI3000 SMG, our customers are now able to take full advantage of the new multi-core processing power for wideband codecs, audio transcoding and voice quality enhancement. With Octasic’s Vocallo MGW multi-core processors, which bring high capacity, low latency audio transcoding, we can offer an all-in-one solution that delivers the ultimate in network deployment flexibility.”
