| The move away from media-specific chips, such as chips supporting only voice traffic, to multimedia chips, such as Surf's DSP family, leads to cost-effective solutions. |
VoIP and Triple Play Chips for Developers
Although many companies offer VoIP DSP, Video DSP, and Data DSPs, product developers are moving away from single media chips to Triple Play chips. Surf has developed a DSP chip capable of simultaneous processing for Voice, Video, and Data over all networks: IP, mobile, wireline, and wireless.
The result is a cost-effective and scaleable system allowing step-by-step migration from 'Voice only', to a 'full Voice and Video' system. Triple Play solutions offer chips to telecom equipment manufacturers (including developers of media gateways, media servers, IMS applications, and CTI applications) that help them design cost-effective solutions with accelerated time-to-market.
Surf's Triple Play Solutions run on TI 64x DSPs and support G729, G711, G726, G723.1A, H263, MPEG-4, RTP, RTCP: RFC 3550/3551, etc.
They are available on AMC, PMC/PTMC, PCI and PCI Express boards.

VoIP General Information
VoIP Chips, DSPs, Cards and Boards
VoIP chips are required in client devices and appliances, customer premises equipment (CPE), VoIP media gateways, and VoIP server gateways. At the heart of a VoIP chipset is the digital signal processor (DSP), a chip designed to support high-performance, repetitive, numerically intensive tasks. The field of VoIP (voice only) chips is shifting from pure voice transmission to incorporate wireless and video applications. VoIP chips are disappearing at the network level and will be used mainly inside IP phones. Outgrowths of the VoIP chip include Fax over IP or FoIP, VoIP over Cable, Video over IP, for videoconferencing over the Internet and Wireless VoIP or WiFi VoIP.
VoIP
VoIP, the common name for Voice over Internet Protocol (also known as IP Telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, Broadband Phone and Voice over Broadband), is the conversion of a voice signal into a stream of packets on a packet network and the routing of audio conversations over the Internet . Protocols which are used to carry voice signals over the IP network are commonly referred to as Voice over IP or VoIP protocols. The voice signals may originate not only from traditional telephone networks, but also from cable, wireless or even DSL networks. VOIP generally includes voice/fax termination over all types of networks.
