SURF Communication Solutions (www.surfsolutions.com), a leading developer of high capacity, real-time multimedia processing solutions for the telecommunications industry, today announced the launch of their SURFAce-812 (E1/T1 PCIe) multimedia communications board.

The only ‘a(chǎn)ll-in-one’ multimedia solution on the market today, SURFAce-812 delivers data, voice and video processing as well as transcoding and E1/T1 ISDN PRI signaling on a single board. This comprehensive media processing solution offers up to 8 x E1/T1 interfaces on a single PCIe board affording ultra-high capacity without the need for an external interface card or external transcoder.

Niv Kagan, Director of Product Management explained, “We recognized the need for a cost-effective multimedia solution that combined media processing and signaling on one board. SURFAce-812 is ideal for value added services that use PSTN connectivity. Since vendors can also deliver voice and video services for IP based networks using the same card and same interfaces, they need only invest once to receive a solution that can address both their current needs and those in the future.”

Udi Shani, President & CEO of SURF commented, “Video communications are expected to account for 64% of the world’s mobile traffic by 2013 according to the Cisco (2009-2014) VNI Forecast. Video calling, video conferencing and interactive voice & video call centers are just a sample of the next gen communication services users will soon consider the norm. At SURF, we anticipated the progress in multimedia communications and set to work to create a cost-effective solution that would meet vendor’s needs not only today but for tomorrow’s developments as well.”
