AudioCodes Showcases Robust Portfolio of IMS-READY VoIP Media Gateways and Media Servers at GlobalComm 2006
Enabling best-of-breed IMS media layer to support new services over cellular, broadband wireless and cable access networks
LOD, Israel, June 1 / - AudioCodes (NASDAQ:AUDC), a leading provider of Voice over Packet (VoP) technologies and Voice Network products, will be highlighting its IMS-READY VoIP Mediant(TM) media gateways, IPmedia(TM) media servers and MediaPack(TM) analog gateways that enable new IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) voice service over wireline, cellular, broadband wireless (WiFi and WiMAX), cable and other access networks.
Connecting disparate access networks into a common IP core network is not always easy as each access network brings its own vocoders and protocols. AudioCodes' wealth of experience in working in VoIP-enabled wireline, cellular, wireless, cable, PSTN and enterprise networks positions AudioCodes to provide converged, intelligent, IMS-ready media gateways and media servers. AudioCodes' media gateways and media servers are widely interoperable with a large range of wireline, wireless, cable and enterprise Control and Application Layer products, making the integration of these products into a "best-of-breed" network a much simpler task.
"AudioCodes' experience in providing high voice quality media gateways and media servers for wireless, wireline, cable and enterprise networks enables us to offer a converged IP platform to address the growing needs of IMS networks as new services are developed and delivered," said Ben Rabinowitz, Vice President, Marketing and Sales, North America at AudioCodes. "AudioCodes' gateways were designed from the ground up in order to support multiple applications and markets. The robust set of vocoders, signaling and control protocols, place us in a strong position to offer a feature-rich, intelligent, converged media platform for IMS networks connecting multiple access networks."
AudioCodes will be highlighting the following families of products:
Mediant(TM): Intelligent, converged IMS core network Media Gateways enabling connectivity of various access networks to the PSTN. The Mediant(TM) supports the variety of required IMS H.248 3GPP Mn packages and a large variety of vocoders and signaling variants associated with wireline, wireless, cable and broadband networks.

IPmedia(TM): Intelligent, converged IMS core network Media Resource Function Platforms (MRFP) enabling IMS services, such as Audio and Video Conferencing, Messaging, Streaming, Gaming and Colored Ring Back Tones. The IPmedia(TM) media servers support a variety of vocoders and video codecs and IMS H.248 3GPP Mp packages, to address the variety of access IP networks the IMS core might serve. In addition, optional SIP media control package support allows for direct integration with IMS Application Servers for quick service introductions.
