TI's new software enhancements support the latest PacketCable 1.5 specification that defines the call signalling, quality of service (QOS), codecs, client provisioning, billing event message collection, public switched telephone network (PSTN) interconnection and security interfaces for residential IP voice services.
These newest improvements also allow broadband telephony subscribers to more reliably send and receive faxes over VoCable services, provide cable modem manufacturers the framework for battery backup capabilities in cable modems for uninterrupted power supply (UPS) during power outages and enable service providers to monitor voice metrics and adjust for real-time voice quality.
With these software upgrades, cable equipment manufacturers can easily provide the most complete voice-over-cable broadband modems.
'Our latest software release is driven by input from field deployments', said Irvind Ghai, Director of Marketing for TI's cable products.
'These new features will fuel the continued growth in this young market as consumers continue to realise the benefits of VoCable technology'.
Leading cable EMTA provider Arris has demonstrated its leadership in the marketplace by successfully combining TI software with the experience and intellectual property that Arris has accumulated while deploying over 4.8 million lines of voice to service providers worldwide.
'Collaborating with TI on the newest PacketCable specifications and new features to address real deployment requirements ensure that our products will continue to deliver the best performance available for voice-over-cable systems', said Bruce McClelland, VP of Engineering, Arris.
