Kontron and Surf Communications Complete Fixed-Mobile Media Server Platform

Posted on: Friday, 13 June 2008, 12:00 CDT

Kontron, a provider of custom embedded communications systems, and Surf Communication Solutions, a developer of high-capacity multimedia processing DSP chips, have completed a fully validated AdvancedTCA-AdvancedMC fixed-mobile media server platform.

Together, Kontron and Surf will be able to offer network equipment providers (NEPs) a commercial-off-the-shelf high availability platform ideal for IP-based media processing applications.

The Kontron-Surf collaboration is the joint interoperability testing of Surf's SurfRider/AMC AMC DSP module - designed with the TMS320C64x series of Texas Instruments DSPs, including up to eight DSPs per board such as the TMS320C6412, TMS320TCI6482, and the latest multi-core DSP TMS320TCI6486 - with the Kontron AT840x family of AdvancedTCA Carrier blades.

Ofer Talmor, director of product management at Surf Communication Solutions, said: "Working with Kontron to pre-validate a jointly integrated media server platform solution demonstrates a much higher value proposition for our joint clients to enjoy faster time to market cycles to keep up with demand from their service provider clients."
