Dialogic(R) Extends Power of Media Boards into PCI Express Configurations.

PCI Express DM/V-B adds single-span configuration and expands already robust feature set for added value 

PARSIPPANY, N.J. -- Dialogic Corporation ("Dialogic"), a global leader in providing world-class products and technologies for media processing, today announced the availability of Dialogic[R] DMV300BTEPEQ, DMV600BTEPEQ, and DMV1200BTEPEQ combined media boards for PCI Express slots. These new PCI Express boards provide the same robust set of features and functions as are found in the equivalent PCI Universal and CompactPCI form factor boards to allow seamless compatibility with existing applications. In addition, new media loads and a new software selectable T1/E1 single span configuration have been added to the DM/V series of boards, which already includes 60 and 120-port versions.

With software selectable T1/E1 connectivity in single, dual, and quad span densities, the DM/V-B boards provide a true universal port solution and a robust media feature set that includes voice processing, speech recognition, fax, and conferencing capabilities. The new DM/V-B boards also provided expanded voice resources, allow for all-conference configurations, and increase the speed and reduce latency for all media and call control operations. This adds up to a valuable price/performance improvement as Dialogic plans to sell the new boards for the same price as the current line of DM/V-B PCI Universal and CompactPCI boards.

The new board design implements a PCI Express x1 lane configuration, allowing it to be used in any full-length PCI Express slot that fully conforms to PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification Revision 1.0a or higher. Together with their DM/V-B PCI Universal and CompactPCI counterparts, these new products enable Dialogic's telecom equipment manufacturer and enterprise customers to join the industry migration to the PCI Express form factor while deploying newer model and mixed slot chassis.

Dialogic's early adopter customers have heralded the arrival of the new PCI Express boards. "Including the PCI Express form factor allows us to use the state-of-the-art servers for our customers. Furthermore, the additional media resources and the single E1 configuration are real added values that will help us standardize and extend our offerings," stated Tristan Dessain-Gelinet, CEO of Tetco Technologies.

"We have given our customers a choice," added Jim Machi. "Customers can move their applications from PCI to PCI Express seamlessly to receive the immediate benefits of the new form factor. But we have also expanded the PCI Express DM/V-B board capabilities, and customers can take advantage of these to add value to their solutions without any additional charge for the boards themselves."

Dialogic's DM/V-B line of PCI, PCI Express, and CompactPCI combined media boards all feature universal media loads offering simultaneous fax, conferencing, and voice; improved media densities; the ability to mix select protocols; and a variety of conferencing media loads. Applications can be ported easily to lower or higher density platforms and new features can be added with only minimum modifications -- thus protecting investment in hardware and application code.
