OpenVox has incorporated Octasic's Vocallo MGW into its DE430P line of PCIe cards for Asterisk® and other open source software, as well as for proprietary PBX, Switch, IVR, and VoIP gateway applications.

The OpenVox DE430P is the latest upgrade to OpenVox‘ DE410P solution, which is a four-port T1/E1/J1 PCI card for high-performance voice and data applications. By equipping the DE430P with Octasic’s Vocallo MGW multi-core processor for voice and video over IP, OpenVox can provide its customers with a flexible, low cost solution for superior voice transcoding and offer the ability to add video capabilities as needed.
