Asterisk Appliance
 

 

Based upon decades of field-proven voice technologies, Synway provides developers with a cost efficient, open programmable, integrated appliance to empower a range of Asterisk-based (other open-source) applications and services. In addition to superior voice enhancement feature, the appliance helps bridge existing wired and wireless networks with IP networks, and supports all of Asterisk-based applications, including IP-PBX, gateway, IVR, fax, conferencing in enterprise and service provider networks. Each chassis is based on single 1U, 2U or 6U architecture, and can be configured for digital or analog or hybrid open source systems.


Key Features:
Up to 256 Asterisk-based FXO/FXS channels or 24 E1/T1/J1 ports or hybrid
DSP-enabled echo cancellation of carrier-grade
All-in-one architecture, Flexible configuration and hot swappable

Perfectly integrated
All-in-one architecture ensures the matchless interoperability and adopts to various wired and wireless networks; Help developers deliver high quality, cost effective open source applications.

Rugged architecture
Embraces all of major PBX brands; support hot swappable, and could be changed or replaced over the front (or) back panel, with no need to open chassis cover.

Flexible configuration for any network
Interface with high-scalability FXO/FXS/E1/T1 lines in Asterisk or other open source IP-PBX environment; support SuPerFormTM echo cancellation for voice enhancement.

Adjustable capacity for customized needs
1U appliance enables 2~64 Asterisk-based FXO/FXS channels or 1~16E1/T1/J1 ports or hybrid;
2U appliance enables 2~96 Asterisk-based FXO/FXS channels or 1~24E1/T1/J1 ports or hybrid;
6U appliance enables 2~256 Asterisk-based FXO/FXS channels or 1~24E1/T1/J1 ports or hybrid;

Processing capability powered by Intel
Adopt Intel(R) X86, the Mini-ITX industrial embedded platform as host control unit (main board) to execute high-capacity, high-complexity applications.

Carrier-grade reliability
Special power system with standby redundancy; advanced cooling system to reassure long-standing robustness; special air cleaner to protect against dust accumulation inside chassis; inside temperature control and alert system; no need to change wiring when changing functional modules as backplane's wiring outlet is separate from backplane's functional-module slots.

Robust engineering design
The motherboard has optional 4.3 inches WVGA(800*480) TFT LCD; support diverse interfaces(port) on the rear panel, including RJ11, RJ21, RJ48C, USB, etc.

Compliant with your applications and Asterisk
Support Unix, Linux and Solaris; compatible with Zaptel, and a range of open source PBX systems, including Asterisk, Trixbox, Yate, Freeswitch, CallWeaver, Elastix and more.

FXO/FXS/E1(T1or J1) configurable
Each Asterisk analog module can support 2-32 FXO/FXS ports for density up to 256 FXO/FXS lines per appliance;
Each Asterisk digital module can support 1-8 ports for density up to 24 E1/T1/J1 ports per appliance;

SuPerForm echo cancellation
The self-adaptive echo cancellation technology taps 128 ms tails (1024 taps/128 ms tail per channel) and can effectively eliminate echo effect in any situation. Embedded in the card, without any physical space requirement.

DMA data exchange
The use of PCI-based DMA technique for data reading and writing helps minimize the cost of the host CPU. 32-bit bus master DMA data exchanges across PCI interface at 132 MB/s for minimum host processor intervention, and optimizes per channel DMA streams and hardware-level.
