IPM-260/SIP

The IPmedia (IPM)-260/SIP blade is a complete SIP-compliant media server, delivering a cost-effective solution in a convenient PCI form-factor. This unique stand-alone PCI media server operates as an independent network element and only relies on the host PC for power, eliminating device drivers and operation system dependencies.

Incorporating AudioCodes’ leading Voice over Packet technology and based on field-proven media products, the IPM-260/SIP enables Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) and enterprise application developers a rapid time-to-market and reliable cost-effective deployments of enhanced voice services in VoIP telephony networks. Designed for carrier-grade applications, the IPM-260/SIP is compliant with a range of Telecom and safety regulations.

Enhanced Applications and Enhanced Voice Services
The IPM-260/SIP delivers a range of media processing technologies, such as voice record/playback, announcements, conferencing, voice mixing, DTMF (detection/generation) and Transcoding features, which enable the delivery of advanced services based on the latest SIP, NetAnn and MSCML IETF RFCs.

Best-of-Breed Right-Sized Systems
The IPM-260/SIP PCI VoIP Media Server matches the density requirements for small to medium applications, while meeting developer’s demands for scalability. This blade scales from 30 to 248 ports in a single PCI slot and provides an ideal solution for enterprise applications as well as carrier locations. Optional 1 to 8 E1/T1 PSTN interfaces enable applications that require TDM interfaces and eliminate costly separate media gateway components.
