AudioCodes sells a variety of VOP processors, which are customised versions of TI's TMS320C54x family of DSPs.
These VOP processors have also been the building blocks for AudioCodes' modules, boards and systems.
AudioCodes' most recent VOP processor product, the AC486, is currently designed in with several leading OEMs.
TIïs DSP technology, combined with AudioCodes' high density and feature rich software, makes a VOP platform for the utmost benefit of telecomms and datacomms equipment manufacturers.
"Working closely with such a respected VOP solution provider, and having our DSPs form the basis for many of AudioCodes' products, is very exciting for us", said Irvind Ghai, High Density Voice Manager, TI's Voice over Packet Business Unit.
"Our high-performance, programmable DSP technology, which truly optimises area per channel, power consumption, architecture and cost, enables AudioCodes to provide the highest quality VOP solutions to their customers more quickly and efficiently".
The AC486 can process up to 24 low-bitrate (G.723.1, G.729A) channels with 64ms echo canceller tail, and is intended for enterprise gateways.
The AC491 is the most power efficient VOP processor in the industry.
It is the first multicore device designed on TI's TMS320VC55x architecture, which integrates six C55x cores, on-chip memory and optimised peripherals in a package the size of a dime, enabling equipment designers to substantially increase channel densities in their systems.
The AC491 serves as a building block for AudioCodes' modules and boards, and will also be offered as a VOP processor for high density gateways.
Being code upgradeable, using both VOP processors enables clients to benefit from AudioCodes' high quality and mature software, as well as reference designs.
