Card helps European VoIP development
Pika Technologies has released a European version of its Pika InLine MM PCI analogue-interface voice/fax/VoIP card.
"This hardware is specially designed and optimised to complement our host-based processing technology, where media processing is accomplished using Pika AllOnHost software resources".
"Now, we are announcing the analogue gateway board", stated Doug Petty, VP of Technology and Operations for Pika.
"This newest board provides up to 16 analogue trunk (FXO) or logging ports and is software-configurable for multiple countries".
The board is in a 9.5in PCI Express format and will be ready to ship in October.
Early next year, Pika will release two additional gateway boards.
The first will support 12 analogue station (FXS) ports.
The second will be a PCI Express version of the Pika digital (T1/E1) gateway board.
With Pika's patent-pending AllOnHost architecture, standard voice, tone, fax and modem applications that have traditionally run only on DSPs can now also run on the host without loss of quality or performance.
AllOnHost software runs on Windows and Linux operating systems and on Intel and AMD processors.
Pika's AllOnHost technology incorporates interfaces for both IP and TDM networks, allows applications to make and receive calls, and provides media processing capabilities.
Media processing applications include play and record, tone and DTMF detection/generation, conference summing and low latency switching.
Codec support includes G.711 and G.729.
"At Pika we provide the flexibility so that developers can choose between AllOnBoard (DSP-based) media processing, AllOnHost media processing, or a blend of both depending on application requirements", said Doug Petty.
"We provide access to both from the same SDK".
