Mindspeed Comcerto 300xv family of VoIP processing devices

Mindspeed has announced the Comcerto 300xv family of voice over IP processing devices that deliver a hardware and software solution for integrated VoIP media, signalling and control processing in low-to-medium-density, next-generation network, IP multimedia system and IP-private branch exchange equipment.

The system-on-chip uses the company’s multi-core Comcerto 300 architecture and reduces bill of material costs for such price-sensitive platforms as passive optical networking multi-dwelling unit equipment and IP-PBX systems.

Its flexible architecture is said to make it easy for users to differentiate their products and includes support for master/slave modes and multiple booting methods.

The turnkey solution’s complete, production-quality OpenWrt-based Linux design kit provides access to hundreds of applications and can be used to create a functionally complete routing platform.

The device is also supported by a complete reference design package, including an open-source session initiation protocol signalling stack and low-level board support packages. Platforms using the Comcerto 300xv SoC retain full software feature and application programming interface compatibility with earlier Comcerto 300 designs.

The software also supports wideband voice codecs for high-definition VoIP applications.

The device’s two ARM processors are coupled through shared memory to create a complete media stream processing subsystem. One processor is paired to powerful digital signal processing resources and integrated memory to optimise real-time, low-latency voice processing, while the other is dedicated to control and signalling processing functions.

The inclusion of two independently configurable 10/100/1000 ethernet interfaces enables the device to support configuration options and allows direct control and management of ethernet switches.
