Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :INPH), a leading provider of robust building blocks, highly integrated subsystems and innovative gateway appliances for the converged communications network, and Surf Communication Solutions Surf Communication Solutions develops a suite of hardware and software products that drives a wide variety of applications whose common goal is high-capacity distribution of voice and video. ("Surf"), a leading developer of high-capacity multimedia processing boards for the telecommunication infrastructure market, today announced their partnership to jointly develop and market AdvancedTCA([R])- and AdvancedMC([TM])-based convergent media solutions to the communications market. The initial combined Interphase/Surf solution is a highly-scalable, modular application subsystem which enables the delivery of next generation convergent AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA, and proprietary communications systems, such as IP-to-IP and TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. (Mobile)-to-IP media gateways, media-enhanced servers, session border controllers, CTI (Computer Telephone Integration) Combining data with voice systems in order to enhance telephone services. For example, automatic number identification (ANI) allows a caller's records to be retrieved from the database while the call is routed to the appropriate party. applications (e.g., voice and video mail), conference bridges, wireless base stations, iPBX, and softswitches. "Media stream transport and processing is a key building block requirement for the delivery of advanced services in the network", said Greg Kalush, president and chief executive officer of Interphase Corporation. "This partnership with Surf combines best-of-breed media processing and intelligent input/output solutions, enabling our customers to deliver voice and video processing solutions to the marketplace using standards-based, cost-effective AdvancedTCA platforms." "The union between the robust Interphase AdvancedMC and AdvancedTCA carrier board products and the unique media processing capabilities of our SurfRider/AMC DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive resource board Co wherein all three media types: voice, video and data (fax and modem) can be processed simultaneously on a single DSP Co will provide our customers with comprehensive, cost-effective, and easy-to-integrate communication solutions to drive and distribute their voice and video applications," commented Eyal Zagagi, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Surf Communication Solutions. The integrated solution utilizes I-TDM technology which creates a flexible, scaleable and robust solution for the telecommunications market. The fully integrated blade level subsystem solution will initially include the SurfRider/AMC[TM] family of multimedia processing DSP resource boards together with the Interphase iSPAN 3639 Multiprotocol T1/E1/J1 Communications Controller AdvancedMC solution on the Interphase iNAV 31K AdvancedTCA Carrier Board. The Surf media processing enabling solutions run on Texas Instruments (TI) state-of-the-art TMS TMS Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (alternative medicine for depression) TMS Test Match Special (sports - cricket) TMS Texas Motor Speedway TMS Transportation Management System TMS Toyota Motor Sales 320C64x(TM) DSP generation. This powerful solution offering delivers low power, ultra-dense processing for lower operating costs and a 'swap-in/swap-out' flexibility for media gateway and media server systems. In early 2007, the Interphase iSPAN 3632 Channelized Refers to an architecture that transmits data in channels. It often refers to the 64 Kbps channels in T1 lines, which were originally developed to handle digitized voice streams (TDM). See TDM. OC-3/STM-1 AdvancedMC supporting over 8000 voice channels will be added to this integrated solution. From October 17 - 19, 2006, Surf Communication Solutions and Interphase Corporation will be showcasing these products at the ATCA See AdvancedTCA.
