Media Processing DSP Chips from Surf Communication Solutions are Chosen by 2N TELEKOMUNIKACE for VoIP GSM Gateways and IP PBX Solutions

Surf Communication Solutions (“Surf”), a leading provider of multimedia embedded processing solutions, announced today that 2N TELEKOMUNIKACE (“2N”), a well-known European producer and supplier of telecommunication technologies, has selected Surf’s DSP chip multimedia processing solution, the Surf DSP-12TM, for inclusion in both its 2N StarGate VoIP GSM gateway and its 2N NETSTAR IP PBX solutions.

The 2N StarGate is a VoIP/PRI- GSM/3G multichannel GSM gateway intended for large companies and alternative providers as the 2N StarGate GSM Gateway is a great tool for terminating calls providing maximum performance, stability and reliability. Thanks to its high capacity it is very easy to convert the full capacity of PRI ISDN directly into GSM networks. Back-up GSM channels, the second PRI (E1) interface and a stable engine guarantee a high proportion of successful calls.

The 2N NETSTAR IP PBX provides integrated voice communications for on-site and remote users. It is a communication system that integrates well-proven ISDN technologies with advanced GSM and VoIP communication networks, functioning equally as a classic digital switchboard and VoIP softswitch. This enables the system to support a variety of interfaces – such as analog, ISDN BRI, ISDN PRI, GSM and VoIP – in a single integrated, compact system.

The Surf DSP-12, chosen as the media processing platform for both 2N products, is a media processing solution offering simultaneous support for multimedia convergence—Voice, Video, and Data (Fax/Modem)—all running on a single DSP. Equipment manufacturers who develop Media Gateways, iPBX, CTI products, and other media-over-packet applications find this solution ideal and optimized for their requirements, as well as quick and easy to integrate into their hardware designs. All Surf products support an easy migration path from voice to video, since the same API supports all media types.

“2N selected Surf’s technology for its wide range of media processing capabilities and modular packaging, which allows us to offer customers flexible solutions that match their current and future density and channel requirements,” said Martin Steinmetz, Product Manager, 2N. “In addition, a single Surf DSP does the work of 3-4 DSPs from our previous chip vendor, which makes our solutions even more cost-effective than before.”

“We are pleased to be selected as 2N’s DSP supplier,” said Avi Harush, Surf’s Sales Director, EMEA. “These projects demonstrate how Surf's rich multimedia processing package provides our customers with cost-effective, scalable and comprehensive solutions for a variety of telecom applications.”
