Prosody X PCI is a highly configurable card that combines support for rich media processing resources, IP telephony and optional E1/T1 digital network access functions. Unrivalled benchmarks in density and price paves the way to a new era in communications building block technology. The product leverages Aculabâ_Ts core expertise in combining complex technologies into a powerful and flexible proposition that assures developers a simple, clear migration path. Prosody X offers "mix and matchâ_T modules to scale a wide range of applications including low and high densities suitable for enterprise and public networks.

The Prosody X media processing resource card offers a comprehensive selection of firmware algorithms that can run independently on its DSPs as well as the option of adding a primary rate trunk module, ensuring our customersâ_T market leading position is maintained. Up to 4 DSPs can be selected to run the algorithms and with each DSP capable of supporting up to 150 channels, a total of 600 channels per card are achievable. Key media processing resources include record and playback with a range of compressions, DTMF tone generation and detection, matrix conferencing, echo cancellation, fax processing and data transmission protocols.

At the heart of Prosody X is an Ethernet switch in addition to the TDM matrix used by previous generations of Prosody. This change acknowledges and accommodates for the relentless shift toward an IP based communications transport infrastructure â_" particularly SIP - and the benefits this can bring. The on-board IP architecture enables Prosody X to be distributable amongst different chassis platforms offering resilience and scalability as well as helping future proof solutions as they move to IP. A dual redundant 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet interface provides the external IP connection, while the hostâ_Ts PCI bus will view Prosody X as if it were a NIC.
