Broadband Voice Enhancement Platform

Ditech’s Broadband Voice Processor (BVP) Flex adds a new dimension in voice quality improvement for telecommunications service providers. Supporting “any-to-any” OC-3, DS-3, and STS-1 connectivity as well as STM-1 to STM-1 connectivity, BVP Flex allows operators to mix and match multiple interface types on the same platform, without the need for external multiplexing equipment.

With a series of processing power options, the BVP Flex platform supports a wide range of Ditech’s Hybrid Echo Cancellation (HEC), Voice Quality Assurance (VQA™), and Experience Intelligence™ (EXi) solutions or multiple network topologies, all of which are manageable from a single, easy-to-use, local and remote management system.

  • Full redundancy: Telco Flex Card 1:1, and Echo Cancellation Resource (ECR) Flex Card 1:3
  • Easy-to-use local and remote management

Applications

Overview

Performance and Cost Optimization
Ditech’s BVP Flex enables carriers to optimize performance and to reduce the cost of their voice networks by eliminating low-density echo cancellation equipment and expensive multiplexing gear. With the BVP Flex’s “any-to-any” connectivity, carriers can reclaim central office space and preserve their investment in electrical DSX/DACS ports while migrating to OC-3 at no additional cost.

Range of Platform Options
Ditech’s Voice Quality software suite for the BVP Flex offers a range of application-specific packages to meet the needs of any network. The BVP Flex hardware and software are matched to application requirements, providing a “custom tailored” solution for specific carrier needs.

Future-Proof Platform
As voice technologies and central office connectivity requirements change, the BVP Flex can be reconfigured or upgraded while in-service to adapt to new requirements. Simplified remote management eliminates the time and expense of performing costly onsite configuration, maintenance, and upgrades. The BVP Flex is backed by a dedicated Ditech support team providing 24 x 7 service.

Narrowband Connectivity Options
For added flexibility and easy retrofit of outdated narrowband echo cancellation equipment, Ditech’s BVP Flex platform can be installed with DS-1 interface options that interconnect with existing DSX/DACS equipment and cabling.
