[Freeswitch-users] Howler - Gone?

[Fernando Romo]

But finally howler show to us something good: With the Cell chips used in the Leadteck (are the same on a PS3), we can make a transcoding equipment with a PS3 for $299 USD... :)

Using the Ethernet of the PS3 we can send the RTP to the transcoding software and the device has enough power to convert 400+ concurrent calls.... only think about it.

Best Regards... Fernando Romo
