Aculab Enhances Support for Its Asterisk Channel Driver

MILTON KEYNES, UK - Aculab expanded its support of the Asterisk channel driver to include: SS7 and CAS protocol support with Prosody X; scalability through multicard support, and DSP-based fax.

Prosody and Prosody X PCI benefit from Aculab's range of protocols.  Solution providers can deploy Asterisk Business Edition PBXs around the globe.

Each Prosody PCI card can support up to four E1 or T1 trunks and offers up to 256 channels of media processing. Prosody X PCI can support up to eight trunks and offers up to 600 media processing channels per card. The terminations are configured for E1 or T1 under software control, and can run a range of protocols including SS7.  Prosody relieves the host of DTMF detection and call bridging when used with Digium's Asterisk.  A further set of media processing capabilities such as echo cancellation and fax, which could be enabled under Asterisk, may be powered using Prosody's on board DSPs.
