Surf Communication Solutions Announces SurfRider-812 Triple-Play Integrated PTMC DSP Farm for VoIP and MoP

    TEL AVIV, Israel, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- TIDC Israel -- Surf Communication
Solutions, Ltd.(R) ("Surf"), the leading provider of high-capacity Triple-Play
media-processing enabling technologies, today announced the launch of
SurfRider-812(TM), a fully-integrated high-capacity PTMC DSP farm comprised of
eight digital signal processors (DSPs).  The SurfRider-812 provides
simultaneous Triple-Play media-processing capabilities for developers of Voice
and Video gateways, CTI applications, Media Servers, and a multitude of other
Voice, Video, Fax and Modem applications.
    Based on the Texas Instruments (TI) state-of-the-art TMS320C6412 DSPs, the
SurfRider-812 can process Voice, Video, and Data (Fax/Modem) simultaneously,
on the same DSP.  It integrates with PCI, Compact PCI (cPCI) and AdvancedTCA
(ATCA) carriers.

    Configurations for IP-to-IP Applications
    Applications that support IP-to-IP connectivity, such as Media Servers and
Session Border Controllers, can implement the SurfRider-812 using any of the
following configurations:

     1.  PCI with a single SurfRider-812 PTMC
     2.  cPCI, which can support either one or two SurfRider-812 PTMCs
         (featuring eight or 16 DSPs, respectively)
     3.  ATCA, which can support up to four SurfRider-812 PTMCs

    Configurations for TDM-to-IP Applications
    Applications that require E1 (or T1) support, such as Media Gateways, can
implement the SurfRider-812 using any of the following configurations:

     1.  PCI with a single SurfRider-812 PTMC and a quad or octal E1/T1
     2.  cPCI, supporting one SurfRider-812 PTMC and one quad or octal E1/T1
         PTMC
     3.  ATCA, supporting one or two SurfRider-812 PTMC(s) and/or one or two
         quad or octal E1/T1 board(s)

    Streamlined Media Processing
    Featuring cost-effective high port density and Surf's patent-pending Open
Framework design, the new PTMC board facilitates integration of third-party
host applications and shortens time-to-market.  The SurfRider-812 includes a
unique architectural approach designed to streamline media processing.  The
control and media paths are separate, eliminating Host-DSP bottlenecks.  In
addition, each DSP has a unique MAC address.  However, an optional network
aggregation module allows the entire board to be accessed on the network via a
single IP address.

    Target Applications
    The SurfRider-812 can be used in a variety of products, including Voice
and Video gateway applications connecting mobile, broadband IP, wireless
(WiFi/WiMAX), and PSTN networks; CTI Applications, such as Voice, Video, and
Fax mail, Interactive Voice/Video Response (IVR) servers, announcement
servers, unified messaging servers, and call recording servers for Voice,
Video, and Fax; Inter-Working Function (IWF); and Stand-Alone Termination
Applications, such as RAS, Conferencing Servers, Voice quality monitoring, and
non-intrusive interception and security applications.

     Supported Interfaces and Operating Systems

     The SurfRider-812 supports the following interfaces:
     *  PCI 32Bit/33Mhz
     *  RMII
     *  CT Bus
     *  GMII (proprietary)

     Supported operating systems include:
     *  Windows
     *  Linux
     *  VxWorks

    Best Choice for Telecom Manufacturers
    "The unique design of the SurfRider-812, wherein eight DSPs are
incorporated on a single PTMC board, makes it the best choice for telecom
manufacturers seeking high-capacity, flexible, and cost-effective media-
processing support for their media gateway and CTI applications," noted Amir
Zmora, Surf's VP Marketing and Product Management.
    "Surf's SurfRider-812 leverages TI's high performance C6412 DSP to deliver
an extremely powerful, cost effective and flexible product that can be used
across the telecom industry," said Thomas Brooks, worldwide DSP marketing
manager, TI.  "Telecom equipment manufacturers are empowered with the
capability to process video, voice and data simultaneously, easing system
design and speeding time to market."
    To meet the demands of telecom equipment manufacturers, who are constantly
seeking new ways to improve and advance their solutions, the SurfRider-812
PTMC board delivers the following robust features:

     *  Enhanced media processing PTMC DSP farm for Voice/Video/Data
        (Fax/Modem)
     *  Utilizes eight TI C6412 DSPs
     *  The most cost-effective per-channel prices
     *  Integrated with PCI, cPCI and ATCA carriers
     *  Available in three different configurations for optimized
        price/performance
     *  Support for all standard interfaces
