IPmedia 8000

The IPmedia 8000 VoIP Media Server enables Network Equipment Providers (NEPs), Application Developers and System Integrators (SIs) to offer Service Providers revenue-generating enhanced voice services over a high density and robust solution. The IPmedia 8000 media server is the large-scale member of AudioCodes family of media server voice network products for enhanced voice services (including the IPmedia 2000, the IPmedia 3000 and the IPmedia 5000).

Building on AudioCodes’ experience in the VoP market, the IPmedia 8000 supports a rich variety of VoIP vocoders, media processing capabilities and standards-compliant signaling and call control. The IPmedia 8000 is based on VolPerfect architecture, AudioCodes’ core media gateway technology.

Deliver Enhanced Voice Services
The IPmedia 8000 enables NEPs to significantly enhance their network solutions. Media processing technologies, such as voice record/playback, announcements, echo cancellation, voice mixing, DTMF detection/generation) and transcoding ensure delivery of advanced services beyond the scope of basic dial tone service. These include conferencing, network announcements, voice mail, auto-attendant, and Interactive Voice Response (IVR). AudioCodes application partners provide a variety of applications jointly with the AudioCodes IPmedia product line to benefit service providers.

Robust Building Block for Converged Networks
The IPmedia 8000 is designed and optimized to serve as a Multimedia Resource Function Processor (MRFP) in Wireline and 3G Wireless networks that have adopted the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture. As part of an IMS architecture, the IPmedia 8000 will provide a robust, scalable MRFP to provide application developers and service providers with the infrastructure to offer a wide range of applications and services.

Deploy a Right-sized, Reliable Solution
The IPmedia 8000 matches the density requirements for large scale, high density applications and locations in the network while meeting the requirements for a market-ready full-featured media-processing server. The IPmedia 8000 is specifically fine-tuned to meet demand, with a density
scale from 2000 to 16,000 ports that provides high capacity for the entire gamut of interactive enhanced voice services. The IPmedia 8000 provides a cost-effective N+1 in-the-chassis redundancy scheme on the media server blades which enables a highly available service offering at all times.

Leverage Legacy Investments
The IPmedia 8000 consists of PSTN, VoIP and VoATM interfaces, allowing NEPs and application partners to deliver enhanced voice services on legacy PSTN networks as well as on new packet-based networks. This enables easy migration to new deployments of packet infrastructure.
