Teledata Networks is working with Octasic for development of next generation network VoIP capabilities. This co-operation is based on Teledata Networks' BroadAccess and HighPGate multiservice access gateways (MSAGs), containing Octasic Semiconductor's advanced OCT9360, one of the major building blocks in Teledata Networks' integrated media gateway card. Teledata Networks has selected Octasic technology to enhance BroadAccess and HighPGate with high-quality VoIP features, including uncompromising voice quality supported by innovative echo cancellation, packet loss concealment and adaptive noise reduction.

In addition, the solution supports several VoIP protocols (MGCP, H.248/Megaco), and functionalities such as fax relay and low-bitrate codecs.

Teledata Networks' MSAGs provide a single, compact solution combining the functionalities of an access gateway and a broadband access platform.

They deliver a complete set of traditional and next generation network access services, from POTS to xDSL and IP, supporting triple play applications.

Highly scalable, the systems support between dozens and thousands of subscribers.

The exceptional modularity and open interfaces of Teledata Networks' and Octasic's technology accelerated the integration process, enabling the new solution to respond to the prevailing market trends of Class 5 switch replacement and the shortening of the copper loop.

The new solutions are custom-tailored to this environment, as it enables service providers to deliver advanced next generation network services while still using the existing infrastructure, in both central offices and remote sites.

'Teledata Networks' VoIP solutions mark a key milestone in our presence as a major player in the next generation game', said Eli Lotan, CTO, Teledata Networks.

'With these solutions, service providers can focus on offering superior voice quality over the existing networks, while seamlessly implementing the migration to next generation networks'.

'Octasic is proud to work with Teledata Networks to deliver leading-edge NGN Solutions to the market', explains Michel Laurence, CEO, Octasic.

'This close collaboration has reinforced Teledata Networks' leading position in the VoIP access space, demonstrated through their successful equipment interoperability tests and customer field trials'.
