Advanced TCA, the PICMG 3.x family is the latest series of PICMG specifications, targeted to the requirements of the next generation of carrier grade communications equipment. This series of specifications incorporates the latest trends in high speed interconnect technologies, next generation processors and improved reliability, manageability and serviceability to make a new blade and chassis form factor optimised for communication applications.

The newly released SDK marks a significant step forward for VoIP application developers. In releasing a quick start ATCA development platform, Audiocodes have provided a cost effective solution for developers of a wide range of next generation applications such as VoIP gateways, Packet to Packet mediation, media servers, Next Generation switches and IP service platforms looking to take advantage of the next generation of communications hardware. With its comprehensive feature set that covers integrated voice and signalling functionality, the TP-12610 SDK offers considerable flexibility for managing and implementing high density, high availability solutions.

The product is based on AudioCodes cPCI VoIP board, hosted in a cPCI to ATCA adaptor which enables GB Ethernet Base and Fabric interfaces. The new design kit features a high capacity blade of 2016 channels and is based on field proven API which is common to all AudioCodes boards. Customers can use the same API for future platforms and thus reduce their development cycle and time to market.

AudioCodes' support of the ATCA form factor meets the demands of customers for a cost-effective, VoIP building block for the new generation of boards. AudioCodes has developed a software development kit that enables a quick start for building media gateway and media server platforms. The TP-12610 SDK meets the needs of software developers looking for a fully operational platform in the interim stage until the final phase of our TP-12610 is released.
