Business Wire, March 17, 2008

New PCIe board provides highest density for application development with popular form factor

SAN JOSE -- NMS Communications today extended its flexible Open Access[TM] application development family to include the popular PCI Express (peripheral component interconnect express) architecture. Supporting up to eight T1/E1 universal ports and up to 6,384 million instructions per second (MIPS) of digital signal processing, NMS's CG 6565e Series is the industry's highest density, highest power family of PCI Express media processing boards.

The CG 6565e enables developers to create and deploy both traditional and next-generation applications, including conferencing, messaging, PSTN and IP call centers, VoIP gateways, PSTN and IP media servers, ringback tones, VoIP and PSTN telephony testing systems, IVR, announcements, and video gateway-video play/record.

Key features include:

* universal port capability that integrates PSTN interfaces, telephony protocols, comprehensive IVR functionality, full-duplex echo cancellation, speech transcoding, media resource control protocol (MRCP) speech, fax processing, conferencing, and 3G video - enabling developers to support these features on a single platform;

* single development environment, Natural Access, making it easy for existing NMS customers to migrate to the new PCI Express form factor, and opening the door for new customers to adopt one platform to develop multiple applications;

* broad operating system support including Windows, Linux and Solaris;

* scalability that enables users to buy only the number of ports (0, 1, 2, 4, or 8 T1/E1 interfaces) and digital signal processing power (1,064 to 6,384 MIPS) they need;

* IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-enabled, allowing developers to incorporate next-generation technologies.

"The server industry is migrating quickly to the PCI Express form factor because of its speed and bandwidth advantages," said NMS Communications Vice President of Marketing Jamie Warter. "Now developers can choose the form factor that best suits their needs - whether HMP, PCI, PCI Express, CompactPCI or AdvancedTCA - from the NMS product family."

Availability

The initial high density configurations of the CG 6565e will be available in Q2 2008. For more information, contact NMS at 508-271-1000 and say "sales."
