Texas Instruments Launches VoIP Gateway Silicon and Software Solutions

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) has launched members of its Voice over IP (VoIP) gateway silicon and software solutions that will enable equipment manufacturers to achieve higher channel densities with improved voice quality. The gateway solutions are powered by its TMS320C64x+ digital signal processor (DSP) that significantly increases performance for VoIP and video encode, decode and transcode applications. The flexible architecture of TI’s solutions allows equipment manufacturers to transition to a common hardware and software architecture that scales from eight to several hundreds of channels while supporting advanced voice and video features. The TNETV2664, TNETV2666, TNETV2686 and TNETV2689 are additions to medium density VoIP gateway product family. These solutions support an Ethernet interface and full IP encapsulation that allows the DSPs to put voice media directly on the network. The gateway solutions include pin compatible options with different channel densities, which gives equipment manufacturers the ability to design a common hardware architecture that can scale across a range of product configurations and applications.
