NetStructure Host Media Processing
Intel is designing products that will help companies to implement VoIP and at the same time obtain the maximum benefit from their investments in legacy systems. Intel has released the NetStructure Host Media Processing (HMP) 1.5 software for Linux; it supports up to 120 video channels that can be utilized for services such as video mail, video color ring back, video caller ID, etc.
Media enterprises can avail VoIP telephony by using the host media processing technology provided by Intel. In the next three months, Intel will release the NetStructure HMP 2.0 for Windows and the NetStructure Digital Network Interface Boards. Intel has implemented a hybrid VoIP solution at its site at Parsippany, New Jersey. The solution will help bring down MAC costs by 72% and reduce the floor-space requirements for equipment by 89%.
Intel has released a reference design, the Converged Application Platform for the Distributed Enterprise, which aims to facilitate the deployment of multimedia services by SMBs. The design allows integration of discrete pieces within the network into a single device. The working prototype uses HMP and processors and should enable telecom vendors to access the market faster.
