It's not just enough to build a software-hardware solution that can operate in a lab-like environment. Future-proofed solutions must operate equally well in a data center, a central office or a SLIC. When it comes to real-world deployments of scalable solutions, NEBS compliance and ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture) products must meet operating tolerance greater than an overly cooled data center.

Media Excel has joined forces with well-known hardware manufacturers of ATCA node blades, leveraging Media Excel's software expertise to run on ATCA blades housing as many as 20 onboard DSPs with 160 cores at 1.25 GHz per core. This density is required to build high-capacity media gateways while also freeing up valuable slots in gateway elements for additional subscriber capacity and throughput.

Media Excel's long history in delivering the highest quality video encoding and transcoding solutions is a perfect fit for an ATCA form-factor product, reaching the required DSP density and performance needed to future-proof Media Excel's NEBS-compliant product portfolio.
