<br>
Sorry it was my mistake, i re-read the entire proposal and it looks like their specialized 1U Hardware with custom CPU can handle close to 1500 simultaneous G729 encoding n transmission, also this hardware offers from any codec to any codec transcoding path.<br>
<br>
Also this box easily works over <br>
<br>
FreeSWITCH, Asterisk, RTPProxy, OpenSIPS are their claims.<br>
<br>
and their pricing are <br>
<br>
First year £16,000<br>
Second year £13,000/annum recurring<br>
<br>
This is found slightly on higher side though,<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
The only thing to take into consideration would be the G729 licenses. But in bulk, the price should be pretty effective, even figuring in hardware.
<br>
<br>
(Not to mention what things like Larrabee will mean for encoding -- 32 1.5GHz "Pentium 4 x64" cores, each with 4 threads?)
<br>
<br>
And... if you're running Asterisk, um, isn't 5000 channels a wee bit over what you can handle anyways? ;)

Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Transcoding G723
<br>
<br>
Hi,
<br>
<br>
I came across a company who was selling hardware which could do like
<br>
5000 G729 conversion simultanoeusly, I was like this sounds cool, they
<br>
have support for asterisk, I haven't enquirer yet how they do this,
<br>
but anyone wishes to buy it cost £15000/year for the hrdware + support
<br>
<br>
Any one on the list requires such high throughput calls can connect
<br>
with me so that we can really test if it can work with freeswitch.
<br>
